and why wouldnt it fit the astina?
only coilovers have that issue due to the plates having different stud placements listen to what the ppl say.. |

Turbo manifold and ECU at the very least.
I think you'd be opening yourself up to a world of pain to even bother trying that. That's bust a generic kit they're trying to palm off as for an Astina.

haha its paper mache with chrome paint on one side and satin black on the other...
i think i said this before dont get a crappy turbo.. just like u shouldnt get crapy tires. (tires = only thing between you n the road, every other part of the suspension is important but if it fails consequences are not as HUGE as if your tire/wheel fails) i only say this cus a friend of my friends (i actualy met the person) had (key word being had, i also knew him when he had the car) a 300zx, rebuilt the whole engine after overheating, did not change the turbos (which were really really old and trashed) and one of the blades on the compressor failed, went in to the intake and thru the engine.... FUN... NOOOOOT |

scored the lowered springs on ebay for 99 cents, just waiting on sellers postage price, hopefully they won't up the price from auspost when the item price is low, as people usually do

you didn't ask for postage costs before making a bid?

i trust in the seller, if they are unreasonable i will simply argue that they would not cost that much. its called shiphaggling

that doesnt work on ebay..
once you press bid, or buy it now you are commiting to the terms of the item at that time, its a legal binding contract. i do all my haggling before i bid |

well i found them not long before bidding ended so i bid. i know i was in a legally binding contract but when it only says "post at buyers expense" it seems reasonable to contact and say "look buddy, i know postage for [so 'n' so] isnt gonna be much so dont bother trying to jack the price right up just because your item sold for very little"
on that note the seller "went to the post office and checked. $35 to tasmania." still a win for me IMO |

35 isn't bad. you can get out of it with excessive postage as its not advised to "bump up" postage costs, i read it somewhere on eBay that it can be a violation of your account.

just remember when u are paying for postage you are paying for postage and handling.. if he spent 15 min wraping it he will charge you for it (regardless of the fact that he fuked it up lol)

you cant get strut mounts anywhere, except new, apparently adjustable racing items... or buggered ones. i advise NOT to buy buggered ones *duh chris*

look in the yellow/white pages for your local mazda dealership, their service department should be able to direct you to their parts dealer. ie, I went to McGrath dealers parts and paint warehouse/sales place which is well away from the local dealer.
