Hello, was just looking on google for some mods I could do to my Astina and keept getting links to this forum so thought I might aswell join.

Heres Some pics of my car.

Brought it for $500 but had to spend another $400 before I could get it road worthy.

Didnt come with rims, They are my own.
Thats all for now

---

Also to mention its a
BG6P, has 1600 DOHC and is manual.

Welcome to AGT!

bmgjet · 28-05-2010, 05:59 PM

The other side (drivers side) isnt as tidy.
Rear door has paint damage from where the car got egged.
And Front door has quite a big rust chip and will probly need to be replaced in the near future.

The underbody had quite a bit of rust aswell which has all been fixed up now.

But it looks good enough and goes well enough for a daily driver.
Iv already got a track car but would like to do a BPT conversion so iv got a bit more power.

Welcome to the forums. What kind of car is your track car?

bmgjet · 29-05-2010, 01:15 AM

*Puts on flame suit* A Honda Integra DA6. Cost a bit more then the Astina at $1500 but goes really well. Got cams, exhaust and intake and I did the tuning myself. Made 177hp on the dyno (when I first got it was making 129hp stock)
And its stripped out to 820kgs with out any one in it. I quite often place 2nd or 3rd in class which is really good being the other guys have spent over 20K on there cars lol and mine only owes me about 4K.

Bit of sad news from tonight, Was going up the mountain again to see if it was snowing. And we stopped at the bottom to have a smoke first.

A farmer came along and rammed the car in the front at about 30ks. Taking big chunk of paint off and pushing it in slightly.

Then he hooped out and threatened us with a base ball bat hitting the door and windows, He thought that we had been doing skids the night before. He the hooped back in his ute and left.

Driving back to town there had been a head on crash about 1km up the road, I Talked to the cops since I wanted to report that farmer for hit and run and the crash was caused because that farmer had attacked that car that crashed and they crashed because they were taking off in fear.

Cop didnt give me any info on the driver of crashed car but it was a head on at atleast 100ks and 2 cars were about the length of half mine together. Which is pritty sad.
NZs just becoming worse and worse place to live. Its about time I move back to ozzy.

hi and welcome to AGT
i have to say DAMN that car is in good condition (from the pic

phildough · 30-05-2010, 09:40 AM

I hope they get that farmer.
Press charges dude,

Welcome to the forums, sucks to hear about the farmer incident

bmgjet · 30-05-2010, 10:36 AM

I hope they find him but I couldnt give much details. He had his number plate blocked and I was more busy watching the bat then his face.
