[color=#000000:post_uid1]Thats a bit harsh Eric. May not be ground breaking
in setting trends but its a new model that someone
has spent some time doing the interior up on.
Don't piss on the little guys mate. Thought they were
the people Ezzy-Style were trying to get as customers.

Maybe not.

[color=#000080:post_uid0]mal, i knew you were going to come up with something like that....... :(
apparently the owner has big plans for the body works and turbo setup.....so i heard! its good to see other people doing up the astinas though.[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0][b:post_uid0]NICE!!!!![/b:post_uid0]

As one of the guys said on the Laser site, i hate guys with money!!!!!

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Mate its a bit hard not to see your remark as slamming
the guy which I didn't think was warrented at all.
Its a real nice car and if he is doing more stuff then even
better. Cant see where you "whats so trick about it"
could be taken any other way. If you didn't mean it
like that then you should have corrected yourself.
You posted it like 40 mins ago.

[IZG-00D]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]nice interior color. but he went over the aluminium floor mats.[/color:post_uid0]

[SehnKhan]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Oh I ****ing give up, I just thought it may have been something new and interesting to check out. It seems that everything I post up here nowdays gets ****ing slammed for some reason. It's a nice looking car, what he did to the back seats is interesting, for me anyway. It may not be ground breaking, but I think it looks good.
And, in terms of the SP20, whoch hasn't been out for _that_ long, I think he has done well.
Now I can't feel anymore out of place here. I don't own an Astina, but I do like the car. I would have one if I could afford it. But, because I don't, I feel I get treated like ****. Thanks! :(

On a serious note, thanks for your support Mal :)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]I reckon thats about one of the nicest interiors ive seen. Very stylish - not over the top. Doesnt look like a circus tent like some of the others around, no big fck-off gauges plastered to the dash, just very nice. I think i would have done something else other than the aluminium tho.... maybe same colouring carpet. A lot of thought looks like its gone into it. The mazda badge is the exact colours of everything else - it looks like a wild factory interior almost it is done so neatly.[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]boyd,
u get treated like ****? everyone here thinks im a junkie!

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[bRaDiNhO]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]hehehe..... i just sorta replied to the pix without reading all the bitchiness in this topic. :D Thanks for the pix Sehn, as i said i lurve it. As my Scottish friend would say "its lak a purty wee beebie".

At least u aint a junkie mate like some people ... :p (joking)

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]alright. had a really bad day yesterday, and its like one of those days that you wouldnt give **** about everything.
and i my case, its more difficult as i have to watch what i say, because i have a business to run. :( im a very straight forward person, and there are few people in this forums knows about it. i dont suck up to people to get business, most of the times, i tell people not to spend money for varies good reasons.
okay, enough said. :)[/color:post_uid0]

[IZG-00D]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]SehnKhan... your not the only one getting treated like shhit here dude...
sorry about my opinion, but i did state that it's got a very nice interior colour. nice and neat...
ignore us ppl who has no manners. just do what you want and say what you want here.[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]its nice, but doesn't do it for me. a bit contrasty! :)[/color:post_uid0]

[kyra]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]can't deny that a heap of effort has gone into the interior... not too sure about the colours though... and the boot set up, and the wheels... but if he is modifying an astina...good on him!
not sure why he started with an sp20 if he is modifying the kit, wheels, interior...1.8 would have been a more logical start... but if u got the cash.....

my opinion.[/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Whats wrong with the wheels ??

Mal *???
p.s *Its OK just kidding !![/color:post_uid1]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]there's actually a Sparkle Green Hatch (like Dogos) that i saw in Melbourne with those wheels in 18" that i tried to talk to, but he go away from me and i couldn't keep up...stupid Vollkswagen LOL :D[/color:post_uid0]

[BigBoyLemonade]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Ah its how ppl read the posts far as I am concerned I dont see anything tricky about it? it depends what you call tricky? some many different meanings... I didnt read ezzy bagging the car out.. it was more a comment towards the tricky comment... ppl gotta stop jumping the gun... Oh well life goes on...

Pr1mo you get called a junkie cause I know ppl that are on drugs that act more normal when they are high and bent then you are normally... so you must be taking something[/color:post_uid0]

[Critter]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I have seen pix of that car before but IMO good to see again from perspective of an SP20 guy doing one up.....

So from me, thanks Sehnkahn.......

We are all individuals and if we weren't gonna do different things, then what would be the point in "customising" our cars?

It's not what I would do (thankfully), but it's a pretty damn fine effort IMO. Would like to chat with this guy and see the car yada yada.
Anybody got contact info?

I have done "this month's small new thing" today and Canberra Cruzers will see on Sunday :)[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]pretty shure ive seen that one too dan. was a middle aged guy driving it (i think)

i saw a guy in geelong on his P's with a white one and chrome 17's last weekend as well[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]nah, that green one has a youngish (mid 20's) guy driving it. i'd say it was the same one tho.

and around the corner from work there's been a red hatch with the full cyber kit (front/skirts/wing) and stickers all over it that i've left a card on...

more and more modded ones getting round - but we don't know them![/color:post_uid0]

[BigMal]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]Hey Mike,
I think ya cool man so don't let em bother you.
I am having some big parties for the xmas/new year
period you reckon you could hook me up some
sugar mate ?? * Nah Kidding.

Who wants to live their whole life inside the sqaure
thats designated normal. *When I am too old to do
fun stuff least least I will have memories that rock.
Unless I kill a few to many brain cells in the process
and its not just the slow dumb ones *:;):

Mal
p.s I had the the whole office today looking at me
cause I was talking to my mate about the 19yr old
from last years santa pub crawl and he was on his
mobile and I started talking louder and louder so he
could hear me and all of a sudden I see the whites
of the eyes looking at me. *Lot of chicks on my floor *:O
Great memory though... Love chiffon red dresses !![/color:post_uid1]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]are u shure it wasnt just dave with a wig on?[/color:post_uid0]

[sabretooth]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]This Astina was posted on some other forums I frequent (http://www.overclockers.com.au/) - and I have to say - damn nice job. He's stuck to a theme and executed it nicely without going overboard with glowy bits he bought from SuperNeonCarStuffs. While the engine is yet to have a kick in the pants with a turbo, I still respect the effort and work that's been put into it.[/color:post_uid0]

[..::TalenT::..]

[color=#000000:post_uid12]i was kinda stayin away from this touchy subject coz its not kewl to see tension in tha astinagt forumz. buut my opinion is that tha car looks pretty sharp i too like tha back seat idea but it wouldnt be very good for "romance", tha rest of the interior is aight too but i dont see tha trickyness to it like apart from tha seats that is...

everyone has their own oppinion and why should we feel pi$$ed if someone has a different oppinion to yours, i like what i like and i dont mind if you think its shi77y or whatever :D anywayz i sound like a councelor or summin so im gone... later ya'll ! ! !

[color=#000000:post_uid0]brad,
that one doesnt look local, the bridge and level of pollution in the first photo is a dead giveaway :P

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[mrpayner]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Now that looks sweet!! Nice clean and simple. Thumbs up for that one!!

[color=#000000:post_uid1]That white astina was found on this Japanese site:
http://www.autoexe.co.jp

:)[/color:post_uid1]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]Hey, in regards to the original pic. of the astina sp20, its a pretty sweet interior, yet eric's is hella sweeter. He nicked the seats idea from the VW Jetta in the fast and the furious. Bloody tryhard, if he wants a nice car and he got cash, he should place some exterior work on the car. i know u got nothin in terms of astina bodykit, but he could do some paintwork and lights...[/color:post_uid0]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]and by the way, cheers to the traditional foam esky and flanelette shirt in the boot![/color:post_uid0]

[bRaDiNhO]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]For f**ks sake, just when the bitchin stops it starts again. Do u know the guy? Some people would rather have a nice interior considering that that is where they spend most of their time. The car already has an alright kit - why change it first if u like it? A "bloody tryhard" in my books is someone who puts a huge kit on the car in order for HIM (not car!) to look good, and matchs a $2000 sub and amp package with $12 Kmart speakers, again so everyone outside can just hear doof doof doof, no matter what the SQ is like. Dont like the car? Fine, but dont dis the people.

Brad[/color:post_uid0]

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]pls keep this in the back your head...everyone.... this is a free speech country and everyone can express his/her opinions in any shaps/forms.

i dont think/agree its "cool" to dis people and his/her opinions. the topic is: 1 very tricky sp20, and i assume that we are talking about the car, the sp20 astina, not the owner.

why did i say: "whats so tricky about?"
here are the reasons:
1. the dash board and lots of other items were painted.
ie. not a preferred way of doing it as the paint will eventually fade and crack.
2. as it is, the colours arent the best combination, unless the owner is planning to change the exierior colour.
3. the arrangement for the back of rear seats and the parcel shelf and the lack of rear seat belts.

if the topic says: 1 very nice sp20, then i would've agree with it 120%.

as for the white sp20. i like the front end. it reminds me of the honda civic grill. the whole car looked simple and clean, that how i like it.

"a bloody tryhard" should read: trying to do something which others have done, and f&*ked up.

okay, thats all i have to say & have a great weekend :) ![/color:post_uid0]

[kyra]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]I WANT THAT FRONT BAR!!

Only problem (besides the expected high price), is that i can't read japanese, so if any of you can read it... can you check the site and find out how much it is for the New Sport - 01 Front bar??? there are 3 to chose from..
MBS2100 38,000 (YEN??)
MBS2500 24,000
MBS2600 38,000

Can any of you help me out?
I'd rather hang back a bit and save for this front bar, than go the same original....
Hopefully it's not stupidly expensive AND can bolt straight onto the front of my car...

Cheers
Bill[/color:post_uid0]

[pr1mo]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]bill,
carmate have an aftermarket front bar for your model. www.carmate.com.au (i think)

cheers mike[/color:post_uid0]

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]mmm... that front bar will be a pretty good base for a custom one. but its not for the sp20 model (re: the spot lights).[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]you could always get the Wings West kit. not to my taste, but someone must like it...

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]and... it a widebody too![/color:post_uid0]

[kyra]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]ha, thanks Dan, but I think it's a bit too 'sick re look at me' style... I don't mind the widebody guards, but yeah, a bit too much for my liking.
Eric, the bar of the New Sport should still fit onto my car yesh? Are you talking about the size of the fog lights or where they are mounted?

cheers[/color:post_uid0]

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]new style? i thought it was from car mate.
anyway, i was referring to the size and the location of the spot lights on that bar.
i think that bar was designed more for the normal 1.8 litre astinas.[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Don't like the paint/sticker job, but the bodykit looks alright. Hey rupe, do you know if you can get the clear Lexus-style lights for our model?? I reckon that'd look pretty kewl. Wouldn't want to spend that kind of money on lights though.[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]nah, not for the hardtop. they make jack-all for hardtops...[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Yeah I thought so. Pity 'cause it's a really good, different looking car. You could do a lot with it if you could get the right parts. Oh well, I prefer the sleeper look anyway, so it's probably just as well in my case. I'm not tempted to put anything over the top on. That way, when you pull up alongside some riceboy with his WRX or whatever, you can give him a scare :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[Rupewrecht]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]now that i'm a bit more confident with fibreglass and bog, next project (now that my new mirrors are done) is to make a set of tailights in this sort of style:

[img:post_uid0]http://www.commondriver.com/images/cdpics/carsforweb/e40fodelu021805.jpg[/img:post_uid0]

mmm french :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[MrShadow]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well, that [i:post_uid0]WOULD[/i:post_uid0] be different. *If you want somebody's car to try it out on.....oh, wait, I'm in Sydney. *Oh, well. I bet nobody would have the same look though.

I go more for the latin look though... :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[Sandyman]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]I withdraw my "bloody tryhard" comment. We all make mistakes (me in particular).

What i meant was that it's a little disappointing that he's done no exterior work, and done the interior real nice. If he has the money, it'd be a real nice car if he did some engine work and did a little looking around for bodykits, and paints, that could be a very sweet car.

thanks for backing me up eric, appreciate it.
no offence meant by any of the stuff i said, it was just hell badly put.[/color:post_uid0]

[Critter]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Well I guess the car was interesting enough to create a bit of chat and ummm "controversy" :D

Of course mine looks waaay smoother.
Everybody at Canberra Cruise will agree or I will have a pout :laugh:[/color:post_uid0]

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]after seeing mick and leanne looking at peter's taillights, i have decided to make a set of taillights this weekend.

its very similar to the pics dan put up here today. basically it is a reverse style of what peter has. for the hatch astina that is.

anyone interested in taillight covers (round light style)?[/color:post_uid0]

[Toyboy]

[color=#000000:post_uid14]Yeah Ezzy i could be interested ???[/color:post_uid14]

[EZZY]

[color=#000080:post_uid14]okay, give me a bit of time..... :cool:[/color:post_uid14]
