Stumped

[Doogal]

I'm Stumped on what to do next to my 1993 BG astina. The body is stock and the interior minus neons, pedals are stock and wheels are new Motion Alloys.

Any ideas on what i can do next. Anything, this is going to be kind of a project for me and any input is helpful as im outta ideas atm. Wether it be painting interior parts or headlight mods post a reply.

[pr1mo]

Roflmao

[marcs_sp20]

oh thats harsh, give the bloke a break...

suspension, braking, audio & engine mods (better filter, exhaust etc.) would be what i'd do, doesnt have to be in that list either...

[project.r.racing]

Take out the gay neons and join the 21st century...

wow y r u ppl so harsh? n what is wrong with neons? i had them b4 n sure they were annoying when i drove so i instaled a switch to turn them of wen im alone but my god do they bring attention! ryan (i dont know what primo has) u got a 97 astina right, pretty sure thats not frm the 21st century either...

oh ye n apart from petrol consmption, there is not a great deal better than the mopar power of a dodge charger..

-soundsystem! always good fun cranking up the tunes.

have you thought about painting your calipers? its easy and something you can do yourself in an afternoon

and i say keep the neons! i think they look cool. better than a plain old boring interior... each to their own tho

[Doogal]

Jeez Pr1mo way to be harsh almost made me cry, HA......

But yea i already got a thumpin MTX sound system Mickey lol and the neons are self running so they dont need the key in to work and switches pre installed to whoever was talking about annoying when driving.

Thanks for the calipers idea i think i'll do that aye

[RedLineResident]

id say lower it

get an exhaust / CIA

get a sound system

in that order.

ok i'd say you should do things that you can personally do. nothing more satisfying then knowing it was you that did this this and this to your car.

exterior mods?
- clean cut and polish. if you never used cut and polish a good and fool proof product is kitten liquid cut and polish, get some rags, a freshly washed car and go nuts
- paint calipers. easy and looks good. get heat proof paint though!
- JDM tail lights, there's a sticky on here somewhere
- get s perspex sunroof. dan (FEM) on here had a source for these, they look so much better than stock and are so much cooler

[project.r.racing]

u got a 97 astina right, pretty sure thats not frm the 21st century either...correct, 97 is in the 20th century. but i'm not talking about a car. so i do not see why you said what you did?

i'm talking about today, now, 2008, as we are in the 21st century currently yes?

neons were cool in the late 90s, not now.

haha i c ur point, i thought u were talking bout the car :o hi man neons r still cool :D

[Doogal]

Ya man neons still rock the night, not for show cars anymore but for settin the moooood :P but im sure u wouldnt know about that :P jk's jk's

But this is all gooood i'm now gonna paint my calipers and possibly get new tail lights. I will also look into lowering it but its already very low (i'm about 6ft 6" so hmmm) , Has new shocks worth quite a bit im told i got a mate to do it on the cheap ;p

So yea thanks for all the ideas

hmmmm wheels are done ... so ...
tints
suspension
calipers (okay I won't be a pain and say five stud conversion and four pots for the front)
exhaust
CAI
maybe look at what kits are available, but I've always found that any model astina just looks best cleaned up with no kit
sports seats
decent stereo
steering wheel
pedals? why not
retrim back seat and door trims to match sports seats

after that you can start to get into "different" things ... like turbo conversions ... shaving bodywork to remove things like door handles ... paint ... blah blah
