2002 Mazda Astina SP20 Greg and Trin's astina

Hey all, this is our sp20.
We bought it about 3 months ago, to replace the gutless, SOHC, CG lancer.
Not too sure how far I should modify this one, as it's the missus's daily. But, the ball has started rolling, and who knows where it will stop.

I started off by replacing the fog lights with a set of LightForce 140 lance driving lights. These are a sensational improvement in the lighting. We do a bit of country driving. High beam now is basically line of sight. Meaning as far as you can see, there is light.

After spending a few hours searching around this, (very good, mind you), site, I pulled out the dremel to perform the CAI mod. I cut out between the grille mouldings and punched the plastic diffuser out of the AFM. I reckon theres a slight increase in response and economy.

I then fit a Devil sports muffler to the stock rear pipe. The whole exhaust is the next mod..

Time for handeling..
A mate who imports jap cars/cuts brought in an RE Amemiya FC RX7. I snapped up the wheels for $100 each.. They are 18x8 Rays Engineering with a +38 offset. We fitted them with Federal 595's in 205/30/18, and I painted the centres black.

While the wheels were off, I whacked in a set of Pedders 85mm lowering springs to the stock struts. They are in good nick, and I was surprised how good these things are from factory.

I just finished blacking out the headlight inserts.
We are happy with the way the car is coming along, and I am very impressed with the build quality Mazda puts into these things.

Next up..
I'll knock up a 2 1/2 inch mandrel bend mild exhaust, and buy/make a set of headers.

Clear repeaters

Pop in a decent head unit, amp, and speakers

And maybe turbo.. not too sure if we want to reduce it's reliability.. Thats what the 13b turbo RX7 is for..

Thanks for reading!
