| Post subject: | BA 1.8 Astina from NZ! |
So far she has: Performance Wise Cold Air Intake Headers/Extractors De-Cat (Whole mid section replaced with Coby Muffler) Lowered on springs Thats about it really at the moment, other than that i never have the AC on. Aesthetics Altezza style tail lights Colour-coded reflector panel MOMO Gear Knob TSW vx1 Alloys The Rims were on the car when I got it, I would like to replace them but they actually look ok for now And thats all ): [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img577/6927/img1057fo.jpg[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img441/7659/img1058ma.jpg[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img7/2656/img1059dc.jpg[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img26/4048/img1061oh.jpg[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img594/9655/img1062h.jpg[/img] [img]http://imageshack.us/a/img5/7402/img1066dw.jpg[/img] My camera is terrible with its auto focus... Over the next month or so the plan is to get a short shifter installed as well as a Fuel Pressure Regulator. Put some daylight angel eyes on and figure out some eyelids! Its so easy to make the back of the car look good but its difficult in the front without a body-kit, and I do want to get one but they are expensive, due to actually getting one in the country, so its one of the last things I'm going to do. Also what are your thoughts on painting my rims and side skirts without aftermarket bumpers? I can generally get painting done for cheap/free. |

Looks mint. If I could find BAs in that colour and condition here I'd definitely consider another one. |

Headers installed today! Feels a bit faster on acceleration and a lot smoother, will hopefully get it tuned soon. [img]http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3214/img1104u.jpg[/img] [img]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/9946/img1106b.jpg[/img] |

Only posted there once and sent a few pms about things on sale, it was more promising seeing as australia is a bit closer than the UK, but i think its nicer on here

I was about to import some from Australia but then I found some from a place called Woolf mufflers, I live in NZ. I think that was the only one though. There are quite a few places you can find on Australian eBay. |

Yeah, I feel your pain. While there are probably more parts available they're usually from thrashed gtx's or way over priced because they're hard to find. Haha just makes it more rewarding when you do find the parts your after. Thank god for trademe! |

Oh I can imagine, all those 'kids' sticking their huge mufflers on the back and droning past ahahah. After my decat I had no muffler in the middle, just a straight pipe to the back box, wayy too annoying. I like a nice BA here though! Because every time I see one its just completely ruined and mistreated, so they actually look quite nice when they are at least clean. |
