Colin's Mint 96 BA Astina

Hi everyone my name is Colin and I own a Mazda 1996 BA Astina.

I bought the car for a daily driver to work. I soon got the modifying bug and started to modify it.

Car Specs:

BP 1.8L DOHC 16 Valve

Engine:
-Extractors into 2.5inch exhaust
-Hi flow cat
-Hi flow resonator
-Stainless steel muffler into twin pipes
-NGK platinum spark plugs
-K&N air filter
-CPC oil cap
-Top Gun 8.8mm leads

Suspension & Handling:
-Pedders front strut brace
-Pedders lowered sports suspension
-Whiteline rear thick sway bar
-Front top strut rubbers replaced

Wheels & Tyres:
-Koya 18inch chrome rims
-Pirelli 225 40 r18 tyres
-Nitrogen filled tyres
-New wheel bearings

Brakes:
-DBA slotted rotars
-Bendix Pads

Interior:
-Enzo steering wheel
-Monza race bucket seats
-Monza pedals
-Monza shift knob
-Garmin GPS
-JVC CD player
-Stainless steel gauge rings
-Aftermarket cruise control (as model didn't come with it)

Exterior:
-Custom front bar
-Custom side skirts
-Larger rear spolier off subaru liberty painted black
-Rubber/chrome pin line across door
-Number plate protectors
-Custom headlight protectors

I am very pedantic and i have detailed under the car/engine bay/brakes etc
It is always cleaned and garaged daily/night.

Hope you like it. I will add more as i go. Might consider a turbo BPT in the future.

With the lotus stile skirts
The black parts are added on canards I think
Seriously but it does look nice

And good effort actually fitting the splash guards back over the skirts, I cut mine too much haha

I think you are right. 2nd look at the engine bay picture, and there is a added cable attached to the throttle body.

Hey mate. It came on the car when i bought it. I think any car audio place like sound n motion can do it. I am not seperating it off the car sorry.
