Karamello's Astina SP
Hey guys,
Given that i bought an already great car from zappy, there was little that i needed to do to it. When i bought it i didnt plan on making any major changes to the car as i always liked it the way it was. So it was mostly just maintaining it and changes a few things here and there that i wanted to do. So far since i got it i have:- Bought/installed rear strut brace Made flat floor in boot Installed ICE (several times ) Replaced interior bits with originals Here are a few pics of what the car generally looks now.. The things i plan on doing to the car are:- New exhaust system New carpet New/replace dashboard Finish the boot to a respectable level Respray the front New rotors Will keep this up to date and post up a few more pics later Cheers |

will be heading over to the exhaust shop tomorrow for a cat-back.
it'll be a 2.25" cat-back because of the future plans to also put some headers on it later on down the track. what are people opinions of the kind of tip i should go for? i have a few in mind but wanted to know other peoples thoughts.. |

Have always had a soft spot for this car, love it!
I reckon for a tip you should go for either 2 small tips like whats on it now, or just a nice 3" truck dump tip

you may find it'll drone a bit more & definately sound different once you install the headers karamello. It'll flow better too obviously
