C-West front bar.. bar..

FEM · 10-05-2007, 06:41 PM

hey guys,

got a bar from carmate on the atsina. its been hit badly by a few gutters before i got it and was held on by cable ties until this arvo when i was out near tingalpa and the bar fell off and got caught under the wheels.. taring it apart a but..

the bottom half needs replacing.. do i call carmate or something and see if they make them or.. ?

please advise

What actually worked on this car when you bought it?

You don't need a front bar, you need a lynch mob... I say get a stocko red front bumper and love the cheaper excess on your insurance.

ummm...

i dont think anything worked, i towed it home..

oh wait.. the headlights worked.. and the battery was good... sorta..

its a project.. a big one!

yeah.. i might go for a stock bar and get the skirts taken off. Ill go for the sleeper look

LYNX · 10-05-2007, 07:45 PM

but it looks so good wif body kit on it

FEM · 10-05-2007, 07:46 PM

is there a front bar that looks good and not too low?

Rupewrecht · 10-05-2007, 09:53 PM

It might be a C-West copy...but i'm sorry to shatter your illusions - there's no way C-West ever made a kit for the Astina.

$10 says it was bought from Carmate.

FEM · 10-05-2007, 09:55 PM

hahahahah, yeah i dare say that is true, it looks dodgee on the back, not like a genuine cwest.

headlights work, for pop up lights that you have to wind up yourself

go back to the stocker look - the kit is always going to hammer your insurance - and the BG looks good with stock body dumped on its arse anyway...
the C-West copy is pure overkill imho

chicaboo · 10-05-2007, 10:15 PM

Just put a Silvia S13 lip on if you must have something on there...

pr1mo · 10-05-2007, 10:46 PM

was this 323kids car?

bourbon · 10-05-2007, 11:14 PM

yes but sold it...

FEM · 11-05-2007, 12:53 AM

who said that i was insuring it? haha.. i paid 4k for it and i under 25.. firstly i cant get comp under 25 for it and secondly.. if i was over 25 it would cost about ... well i dunno, but 1k+.

i was talking bout the actual headlight bulbs

hahahah

the same bar cost like $450 or something, its a ssexy kit i think.. i might get another.. i had some w@nk job attempt to win a drag against me today in a hyundai with a loud sound system so obviously the car is attracting alot of attention. (i missed 2nd gear aswell, he thought that was funny cuz when he caught up to me when i was trying to get it into gear.. but little he had to laugh about when i flew past him)

I love the look of the stocko astina, it just dont want the car looking stock with a massive exhaust and rims .. it seems a little try hard.

What you guys think

Dan

project.r.racing · 11-05-2007, 06:33 AM

it is a veilside copy 2 piece made by carmate...

Get Fire and Theft cover dude. If you hit someone/thing uninsured, you be screwed!!!

CTP will only protect you from so much. Fire and Theft covers your car only in the event it's stolen/burnt out, but you're also covered for any damaged caused to anything by your car due to that theft/fire...

FEM · 11-05-2007, 10:45 AM

Oh i see. Thanks Gav, i will look into it mate.

LordWorm · 11-05-2007, 07:10 PM

Yeah at least bomb insure it (3rd party property)... fire and theft is advisable, and i think Just car give you a certain level of accidental damage cover with their fire and theft now...worth looking into.

without 3rd party property, imagine what it'd cost you if you t-boned a rolls royce or simillar....
