Hey guys, i've submitted my car before but it is much more JDM than it used to be and now I have some proper, somewhat arty, shots of the beast. I've been working on making the car as JDM as possible in the last 6 months and it's definitely been a challenge since the Astina was never meant to be a performance platform and there is very little MazdaSpeed/Eunos/Efini parts for the BG Astina.

    It's amazing compared to most other cars. However last time I was at Lakeside it felt a little soft. I'm getting a rear swaybar in a few weeks and perhaps stiffer springs for the coils in another month or 2.

    Nothing sicker than white with red accents. Plus I love that shape of Civic.

    So is it 4wd? Or is it like with lancers how people swap the motor in and badge it an evo?
    I believe this is one of the only 5 door cars ever made with pop-ups smile.gif

    but lose the LED bulb replacement, that is not JDM, and your old lights don't really benifit from LED replacement bulbs like newer lights OEM crystal lights.

    Yep, it's been there once to sort out the fucked up work of another workshop. Dumbasses at J&S put in a 121 mount, then told me it was fine when I brought it back.

    FWD, just the motor transplant. As for lights there is nothing for the Astina mate except a brand new set from Mazda for god knows how much. Even the proper JDM lights look exactly the same, i just modded mine to look JDM.
