Welcome buddy i hope you enjoy the forum its a great place to socilaise and find out some seriously helpful info. This sight is good and bad for you bank account good wise you can save a heap in group buys bad wise you get so many ideas for doing up your car which leads you to go wild with handling, perfomance, appearance.

These people here are seriously nice people and helpful in that they will aid you as much as posible with any plans you have for your car.

Welcome and enjoy!!!!

By doing that you will build yourself a real head turner

king springs seam to be the popular choice for lowering springs on oz, but there are many available.

in terms of muffler, many around, but i have found (and bought) an ebay muffler. cheapest there is and looks great and no difference in performance over the very expensive ones.
 
Here's a couple of quick pics i took this afternoon (rockon)

so you bought an ebay muffler, how does it sound? what kind did you buy, cause i need a new muffler and i was thinking of going to the cheap route and buying one off ebay for under like 50 bucks, cheap i know but i didnt know about sound quality and all. Do you like yours?

Hey ya all,
I'm also new, although I registered in Nov 2003. Please excuse my lack of presence in here then guys.

My name is Cassie and Iam for the Sunshine Coast in QLD. Anyone else on this forum for around the South East?

I own a 2003 model Mazda Astina 323 SP20. Bought it new and havent really had the money to do much to it, unfortunately (tear). My partner recently bought a Nissan Skyline so that's had all of the attention.

Hope to get onto hear more often to chat. Love to hear from you's.

Cheers, Have a good one.
Cassie.

welcome cassie! there are quite a number of SE qlder's around, me being one. i visit caloundra regularly as me mummy lives there.

so what plans do you have for the car? any questions you have we're all more than happy to help. and if you cant find it on this board, you will not find it anywhere.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome all.

Well I originally joined the forum to get ideas for mods on my car, but didnt really get much of a chance to be on here. hehehe.

I know what rims I want, I'm going to get an 18" BSA (can't remember the code soz), but they are a five spoke rim, chrome and they look awesome on the car.

I dont know how far I want to go with the internals yet - Ported head? upgraded intake manifold? Cams? etc.

I havent even had an exhaust upgrade yet, but Iam considering opting for a 2 1/2" mandrel bent exhaust, cause they sound pretty tough, hehehe.

We just put iridium plugs in our Skyline and upgraded the oils and I was amazed at the difference, although slight, it definately improved. So that may be on the agenda for me SP20 as well.

There is so much I wanna do its not funny. Does anyone want lend me some $ to do it all, hehehe. I wish.

Have a good one,
Cassie
 
Like cassie i also want make the appeal for some funds, its for a worthy cause so feel free to make donations as they would be a great help
