Hey guys.

How the hell do you cope with your staz being off the road or being away from it for so long?

Since selling my place 4 months ago, I have hardly seen my car. Has been away in storage. How do people cope? I am getting depressed

when mine was off for 3 i used to go wash it

I pull my gearbox out. And put it back..................then pull it out............................then put it back...............then.....

i think ive forgot what its like to drive a starion!

I drive other peoples LOL

I get withdrawal symptoms when I only have one to drive LOL

Need a spare Staz just for back-up! :roll: Although my pocket is considerably lighter!

Haha... I've got 3... good for back up.

haha yep I know the feeling, mine's been off the road since March! I just have a habit of buying other cars keeping me occupied in the meantime.

hmm i dont think i've had this problem you speak of :P


its true though, when you drive these cars you and the car act as one. people ask why they're special, usually a drive around the block answers their question..

I sit in mine while it's in dry dock and go "vroom vroom" It helps a little.

I bought an xr6 turbo ute and only had it for a month because it did nothing for me. Cant explain what it is about my staz, I can honestly say there is no other car I would rather have ( thats not to say I wouldnt have them in addition to of course ) anyway I lost about 4 grand on the ute. think what i could have done to teh staz with that money !!

the only other car I've driven that made me feel the same about driving it was an r32 bathurst edition gtr

Make your brother buy one LOL

Collect many many parts for your build, i think it have parts for every area of the car to put in.
Motor, ecu, intercooler, complete subframe, suspension, exhaust, gauges, body parts, bodykit.

Ive started bringing in a few parts from the US starion market to help out other members.

Ive driven nice skylines, VL turbo, brand new SS's, turbo SS etc etc. Nothing ive been in is the same experience as the starion.
Classic 80s styling, unique, handles great for what it is, and can be made to go fast.

Another big part of it is the Starion community. Can ring up a member and have a good hour long chat about Starions. Most owners are just as passionate as you are about them. Whereas you log onto other car forums and its full of BS and constant fighting.

This forum and Team4g are like...

The only two decent "owners" forums around I swear. Every other forum is full of ego's and infighting :/

Yeah I am both looking forward to the day I start my conversion and also dreading it. I miss my staz so much. I have only owned 3, and also owned many other cars, but still can't beat the Starion. I can't explain it but once you've gone staz, you always go back.

And I agree, this is the only site that isn't so political and full of BS. Well except for when roger drops in.
