I used to have a Etude in 1995, they were a really neat wee car.
They would be rare now in NZ.
There was 3 different specification levels.
They better had 4 wheel disc brakes and had a 1.6 DOHC EFI with an early form of vics and loved to rev.
They were fun to drive and had really short gearing on the first 3 gears (1st-40, 2nd-75 and 3rd 110! at redline)
They had a speed limiter at about 195 km/hr
I have got a few photos of my old etude and some photos of my 1991 BG 3 door Familia GT.
If any one wants to see them I'll scan them and put them up.

does anybody know if the rear sp20 lip off a sedan will fit a hatch??
thanks

marcs_sp20 · 01-02-2010, 11:50 PM

hmm thanks guys, I'll see what the other brissy boys come up with

Im going to be doing them with the spare set I have nabbed off Mat, as I am thinking this might be the cause of a rough idle I have had on and off for about 6weeks now, and having 98 octane fuel in it all the time doesnt seem to have stopped it

thanks

Comparison:

Protege

Astina

Looks to me that the hatch one is different, as you have the left side piece come off for the tow hook

RustyKaos · 02-02-2010, 07:26 AM

Plus looks like more of an indent at the bottom of the boot with shorter tail lights.

02-KQ-LASR · 02-02-2010, 09:54 AM

brizbane boy, i think you might need a bigger rear lip, as your kit is all pretty chunky, an it might not match it right. i had sp20 sides on my Laser an it just Didnt Work With the kit at all. They were too small. Just tryin to help.

Brisbane_boy · 02-02-2010, 10:19 AM

yer i agree with you luke, also the wreckers want $300 for the sp20 rear bar.
i might have to trust car mate again and hope they actully can deliver in under 3 weeks.

Funny, all this talk about the Etude.

In southern Africa the Mazda Etude is what they call the 1.6L and 1.8L BJ model.

moved from a different thread

got an idea for my headlights, as i cbf (as well as scared of breaking something) taking apart the headlights to do the LED conversions, i was thinking about fibre glass over the lights so the bonnet and bumper are flush, with a tube/hole for the projector.

like this,

opinions?

if by intended purpose, you mean motorsports, then yes. if you mean driving around the streets, then it will only ever be rice.

Anyone know what type of bulb is used for the rear number plate lights?

70NYD · 05-02-2010, 04:22 PM

if its same as a BA then BA9s (where 9 is the size of the bulb or body i cant remember and s stands for short)

Clean_Cookie · 05-02-2010, 04:28 PM

i jsut went to repco and asked for some rear number plate bulbs and without a model or whatnot he seemed to get the right ones as they fit and work perfectly. were a wedge sorta thing though? (possibly one of those T10's? for a hardtop btw. so idk how much they vary from car to car!

my question though is where do i get dials that look like this: http://astinagt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8096 with the colours and everything for my BA? had a look on ebay and didnt see anything which i liked particularly - either that or they were $220 :S maybe im looking in the wrong place???

Brisbane_boy · 05-02-2010, 06:59 PM

yer they are the t10 bulbs marc.
