BA Information Web Site

[nalawa]

Hye Guys & Girls,

I have put together a quick web site with a bunch of useful information for 94-98 BA Astinas. Sources for this data are the Mazda Handbook thatcame with my car, carsales.com, DBA's web site and other bits and pieces from AstinaGT.com. This is a first cut, so take a peek and give me some feedback

very interesting website, i found out more stuff about my ba.
bcoz when i bought my car i didnt get an owners manual, so this came very handy.

hey nice work there, this should be stickied or incorporated into the site..

I wonder what the difference between the series 1, 2 and 3 are. I thought there were only 2 series, one with bin pocket, one without.

looking good!!!!

i'm going to chime in :p

the wheel rotation you have is for directional tread patterns

if you count the wheels 1 2 3 4 going FR, RR, FL, RL they should all be moved on to the next one, and 4 either boot in as spare, or over to number 1

Can someone tell me, i've been seeing a few hardtops driving around up here without the indicators in the front bumper, but in the headlights, but i've looked at the front bar and there is no gap where the indicators are suppose to be, and the front bar is still the same one that on our cars just apart from the missing indicator, because i thought that the only hardtops models out there was the one's that Rupewrecht, Boostedbatman, and I have? If i see it again i'll take some pics for you guys.

they're japanese domestic market models. not private imports, but a few wreckers imported them and resold them here.

the JDM front bar also has a mold line (similar to the rear bar) that the AUS bar doesn't have, and the way the lower grille is molded is quite different (yet similar in appearanceat a glance)

Great job and well worth the pat on the back except you got the Fuel consumption switched around the wrong way

Thanks for the comments guys. Will make the appropriate changes as necessary.

You may be able to extract some extra info from here eg: gear ratios etc http://digilander.libero.it/mazdaxedos/english-techdata.htm

[CRA23]

the comp ratio on the KF isnt 10:1, its only 10:1 on the ZE

the book that came with my car says its 9.5:1 but the thing is that everywhere on the net says 10:1

according to this my car has abs? however i don't think it does, i have room for the abs fuse but no actual fuse in the fuse box lol?

Is there anyway to find out if i do without having to slam on the brakes?

[project.r.racing]

P3s do not have abs.

[Rupewrecht]
