Prolly not necessary, but $76 isn't bad for peace of mind.

They push an abrasive paste through the ports to enlarge them. I've never liked the idea, sure it makes the ports bigger but the shape stays much the same. On some heads that's OK but having talked to people about porting I'd rather someone in there with a die grinder.

02-KQ-LASR · 14-01-2010, 07:58 PM

what looks better carbon fibre trim or colour coded trim?

marcs_sp20 · 14-01-2010, 08:05 PM

Im a little biased towards painted, but thats cause I have mine done

Isn't that question heaps subjective?
You're not going to build a car that everyone likes so why not build one that you like?

all the same - recent thread about this somewhere on agt.

Rix · 15-01-2010, 01:23 AM

even if they have abs or not?

70NYD · 15-01-2010, 02:49 AM

all struts should have provisions for the abs line. if the salesman is telling u any differnt he is doing his job
and im almost 100% sure that all the struts should b the same across all the BA astina range regardless if its 1 2 or 3

Rix · 15-01-2010, 09:58 AM

Brisbane_boy · 19-01-2010, 10:23 AM

hey guys, just been looking around ebay US for parts and came across these.
they say they will fit both 1.8L and 2L. but the exhaust are different on both (the bottom of the headers)

is the 2L a 4-2-1 or a 4-1??
these are a 4-1 so im assuming they are for the 1.8?

chicaboo · 19-01-2010, 10:25 AM

They are 4>1 and fit for our 2L SP20. Need slight mods to fit 1.8L.
