Followed a Dark Green FD3S (looked like Series5) with black 5 spokes and a wee cannon.
It made funny explosion noises and winked at Ashlee... my whore gets all the boys!

Saw a red BJ SP20 Astina today, lowered with RX8 rims... Looked delicious Couldn't see any aftermarket exhaust on it though, but just those rims..... I want!

Yeah who was that Yellow SP20? Looked Lower/Rims, better headlight globes etc...

Ashlee screams for moar at night... Then won't stop... Friggin brake lines with air in them.

DO NOT CHANGE PADS IN THE DARK OR AFTER 7 BEERS!
ProTip

Who knows who that SP20 was, looks nice though. Ashlee looks better though

The lines with air in them, that explains the brake fade you complaining about?

EDIT: I'm buying some HIDs which on low beam should hopefully be brighter, rather than using my high beams all the way through the hills

Yeah, my pads are fine, and the rotors weren't glowing so they should still be fine, I'm going to get a bleed kit during lunch and shall be doing that this evening.

Warning with the HID's, make sure to check your headlight alignment prior to going for a drive. Make sure they don't go too much above standard height, and maybe even lower them a little to avoid blinding people.
Drive behind me to test, or your Dad etc etc just to be sure.

Props to the guy I saw today who thinks his bone-stock Mazda6 will go faster with a fake bonnet scoop and vents either side of it :/

On the way home from uni on Tuesday I was next to a black Mazda3 SP23 with blacked out badges except for an Axela badge and lowered on dark grey rims (SP23 stockies) as well as a Corksport exhaust (I could make out the engraved 'CS' on the tip).

Jelly!


Anyway, I saw a red/maroon Protege BJ1 with rims exactly like these:



They were 15" and looked quite awesome against the darker coloured car. Now I've got some inspiration

Are there any other AstinaGT guys in SA besides Nick, Harry and myself? Seems like we're the only ones in the state who actually go on here :$

Gotta do an interstate cruise soon I reckon

used to be in adelaide....
till i moved to melbourne,
and had a head on in the BA with a holden redeo at speed.....
the rodeo was towing an hyundai excel that then t-boned be.

needless to say i walked away relatively un-injured, the astina never turned over again
but a credit to its safety.

now i ride motorcycles.......

So are you actually in Adelaide or in Melb still?

Either way post photos of what your car looks like so I can stalk you! :P
