[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hey RedTop anf BigMal,

i had the same prob as you 2 did, couldn't find anything to tune up my astina, especially my V6 GT. So last year i went to Japan to find some stuff...guess what...NADA/NOTHING/ZILCH to purchase there in Japan. I went to Tokyo,Osaka,Kyoto and Nagoya and in 10 days japan i only saw 1 astina(BA model) and nothing modified about it. I went to the mazda dealer and asked him about the model. He told me that the astina, especially the ba model 94-98 was actualkly made for export, for europe, australia,taiwan,hongkong,macau and thailand and malaysia. Japanese people aren'r very fond of hatchbacks. I looked on the streets and then i noticed...only sedans, convertibles or coupes. Only a handfew hatchbacks. That's why the aftersales for the astina is very rare in Japan. If you wanna look you should search in your own country (yes!!australia) or hongkong or maybe taiwan, where most of the products are made because of the low productions costs..
sorry to ruin your plans guys to get loads of aftersales market products but i got back in holland kind of disappointed....last month in hong kong i did succeed though, so maybe check out there..

by the way....PHAT astina's you have there in down under!!![/colorost_uid0]
