Allan: wat 1.8 engine are you using? B8 N/A ?? With LSD? wow i'm guessing its a turbo engine? I thought oiginally the Astina comes with only 13" rims... hehe.

Astina: I'm thinking of changing to NGK Gpower Platinum, dunno suitable for our cars or not. Coz as far as i know, Astina needs spark plugs with "R" in the model no. It means resistor or something. Duno.

Is the Remus exhaust expensive? I heard it gives a good sound. Did you change your engine or mod it?

I installed the Splitfire Cables. I used to have an aftermarket Ignition Coil (Mallory USA) to me I think the ignition coil makes a bit of difference. It got spoilt after 6 years using it. Now using back to normal ignition coil.

i don't know wheather can use the NGK Gpower platinum .
never try . oh the exhaust is coming together when i bought my astina so dont know the price but the sound quite good especialy when i spin my tyre at the traffic light. i think the Mallory Ingnition coil is yellow colour right?
i saw 1 at the magazine quite big. em i wonder if i can get the LSD gearbox.

Everytime when my 3 year son look at Astina...he will say "Iniatial-D".
For him Astina look alike to AE86...Big Smile

My wife ask me to get one.

If your car move fast and start shaking, it could be due to tyre
balancing....tyre pressure....absorbers.....engine mount point....
