1996 Astina BA Matte Black

Hey everyone, time to introduce my ride. The car will be a complete stealth look car, and everything I am going to be doing will be keeping that in mind.

Car Specs:

Mazda Astina 180se (BP 1.8L DOHC 16 Valve)

Engine:
- Engine overhauled about 35 000km ago (this included new bearings, gaskets, seals, pistons, rings, oil pump, water pump, cam belt, tensioner pulleys, head overhauled, clutch, pressure plate and so forth)
- Induction kit
- Mild cams
- Vernier pulleys
- The head is ported
- Powerflow Branches (4-2-1)
- Powerflow stainless steel exhaust system

Suspension & Handling:
- BC-Racing coil-over suspension
- Front strut brace

Wheels & Tyres:
- 17" black Lenso wheels

Interior:
- Pretty much stock (This is where the next load of work is going to be)

Exterior:
- Anti smash & grab window tint
- LED Park lights
- Crystal indicator lights on fenders
- Lamin-X on most lights
- and the subtle complete matte black vinyl wrap

Excuse the shoddy images, but I'll be taking some more soon enough and update.





A fair bit of smaller jobs will be following and I'll happily post the progress here. Mainly it is going to be on the interior, but here is a preliminary wishlist.

- Full interior reupholster
- Possibly new front seat install (not racing for now, but comfortable)
- Amp and speaker install, current Pioneer headunit does not fir the stealth profile, possibility of going double DIN with GPS
- Theme for interior might be focused around MOMO and MOMO products, I've always been a fan, so red and yellow accents around the majority of black
- Reverse audible indicators or camera, visibility is pretty limited on the Astina despite being a compact car
- Aerial install on the windscreen as the matte black vinyl required bodywork to be smoothed nicely and the aerial was just in the way, read ugly, and had to go
- USB port installation in the armrest

Sure I will think of more
