I pretty much have a simple outline for my BJII Astina, all starting after November this year.

Head Unit
Subwoofer + Box (Maybe not anymore)
Amp
Speakers


New Automatic Shifter
SP20 Cluster
Steering Wheel
Pedals
Interior Lights


Exterior

Window Tint
Strip and Paint Chrome Emblems Black
Remove Granny Strips REMOVED
Black or Grey Surrounds for Headlights
LED Side Indicators
Possible Roof Racks
Possible Slimline Weathershields


Engine/Suspension

Cold-Air Intake
Possible After-market Extractors, but I'm unsure if it will do anything for an Automatic (advice??)
2"Exhaust through with 2"tip
Front and Rear Lower Springs
Front and Rear shocks
Rear Sway Bar
Front Strut Brace


Wheels/Tyres
MS-01S. Size will be about 16", maybe 17" depending.

I was reading through it earlier this morning and found out that haha. Couldnt be bothered updating it, But I shall do it now ;)

Thanks again Marc *thumbs up*

EDIT: Apparently the 4 stud aren't that common :(

[Ice88]

Theres plenty of wheels that are four stud :)

Rota Torque make 4 stud wheels(15-17inch). Mazdaspeed wheels came in 4 studs mainly 15-16 inch wheels.

Honestly thats all ive really looked at as thats what im interested in :) But i have seen 4 stud wheels around the place. (Lenso make 4 studs as well).

[Samsara]

Thanks Ice, I kind of meant that the MS-01S are rare in 4 studs... But I will have a look at Rota and Lenso and see if anything tickles me fancy :D

I'm keen on losing the side moulds as well.. is it very easy? I'm sort of scared I'll have to respray the doors if I do it. =l

[Ice88]

Theres a guide on the forums man :)

Heat gun and fishing wire. Use the same method to take off the badges :D

You just have to spend a fair bit of your day getting rid of the residue ;)

[Rhys]

Sweet! Sounds pretty easy. I think that's now my new weekend project

[Samsara]

ok, thanks for the help frm Rhys and Ice88, my granny strips have been removed! Pictures to come in the next couple of days (after I give her a wash)

I've also taken the bong res off the bottom of the intake hose. Pictures to come of that as well.

EDIT: Number Plate frames have been removed as well

[Samsara]

I have my head unit, and the wiring harness I tried to buy on Sunday is now in stock, so I have to pick it up on Thursday night, and see if I can get Phill or someone on the bayside around to give me a little hand with it. Updated pic's to come soon!
