New BG owner to the forum from TAS
Hi there all from all the way down here in Tasmania.
I have browsed the forums from time to time and more often in the last few weeks since I purchased a BG Astina for the huge ammount of $700. When I first picked it up iw was stock had no radio or speakers and some rather bad looking dents and rusty bits in the roof. Since I picked it up I have lowered it on king superlow springs, added the 17" Speedy Lite7 wheels from my other car for now. Slapped in an Alpine iDA-x202 iPod/usb headunit some cheap pioneer speakers I had laying round and my pride and joy audio gear the Rockford Fosgate T2000.1 sub amp and 2 Rockford Fosgate power T1 10" woofers in a rather large ported box. It also now features 20% tint all round with a 5% rear screen and 5% glare strip coming nearly 30 cm down the window. As for performance it had a pod on the end of the AFM when I got it and standard exhaust. I have removed the resonator box from the intake as it was making it quieter as I did this I needed a steped pipe to fit the stock pipes and also required an outlet for the idle controller. Then I slapped a cannon on the back so it made some noise. I did paint it black so there isn't some queer chrome thing hanging off the bum of it. Well for now that is a rough run down of the beast I call my daily. As for me well I am hear to learn from those who have more experience with this model than I and where I can help out a little too. I have spent the last 10-11 years all over the place on fordlaser.com and now here as well. I hope that I will enjoy my time here as much I have over there also. |
