As requested here are the pics of the sub, it's nothing special, just a sub in a box. I thought about the kitchen handles, but if I can get the grill for $5, it'll be cheaper than the kitchen draw handles!!
It's not a very good picture, as it was taken at night, but it's the best one I have of it at the moment.

The strut brace is pretty good, definitely makes a difference, although it can be a pain in the ass when putting stuff in the boot.

have you got a front one too?
im tempted to buy one, but it looks like a bit of work installing it.

Sure do, I fabricated both of them myself. If you go to my readers ride I think there may be a picture of the front one, if not I'll post one up for you.

cleaned up the inside of the car and refinished the window sills to get rid of the sun damage, looks so much better

i decided to mend the two things together... so here is me driving my car, with my new wheels on.
i couldnt believe how well it went today. especially considering the other cars it was up against. there were two m3's a porche 911 (a little disappointing on the pan) and a few mazdas and an integra type s. the astina was hands down the second fastest behind a subaru liberty. the car just had so much grip compared to the others, i lapped the light blue m3 several times cause they just couldnt get the power down i love this car.. p.s who says a you cant hold a fwd in oversteer mode?

I gave my car a well-deserved oil change at 173000kms, and found that the interior electrics not working was due to a missing fuse, which I promptly plugged in. Yay for having a radio! Although the distortion from the right front speaker is awful...
Having achieved such positives, I had to drag myself back down by coming up too close to my dad's Tarago while reverse parking (it was dark and rainy, and my brother's fat head was in the way), and putting a bloody gash in the paint of the front left door Anyone know any decent repairers in Sydney? |

I like the new wheels Bryce!
Put a new AGT sticker on after a few years of not having one. It looks white but is actually silver. Finally took a pic of the leather handbrake handle, and the Mazdaspeed dash cover - the carbonfibre-look bit of it. And started retrimming my parcel shelf to integrate the LED 3rd brake light a bit more.

It says you did at 9:43, but it hadn't been before that.

Yesterday...
* New front ball joints * 280mm rear brakes fully installed * Fresh Magnetec and Filter * New Rail > Reg fuel line * 20L of PULP Still need to finish up the handbrake adjustment once the pads bed a little bit but there's already a massive difference in the braking and now that some of the front brake parts have started to trickle in things are getting very interesting.
