the 1st thing is about ur budjet????? 180 cheeper than 210......
180 round 3k - 3.8k N 210 around 4.5k - 5.8k.......
alot 180 spare parts at chop shop,210 less n hard to find........
power???? ofcoz 210 more powerfull than 180........fuel going to rm2 soon!!!!!
both engine same cc diff HP only......no problem with jpj..
engine mounting i dunno coz i'm not drive astina.....:rolleyes:

other sifu's,pls correct me if i'm wrong!!!!!
i'm also new in B8......:D

Yupe def no prob with jpj

As for mounting i gurantee u no problem . fit exactly haha ( trust me i am driving one )

The problem u gonna face is finding the tx3 gearbox and driveshaft if u want to use them . Other source mazda 626 ( i dunno can fit anot in astina but fot the BP turbo engine can lah ) . or Lantis 1.8 also can , no need find B6 2 way hard to get . ( if u want try getting it make sure u know there is two kind in the market --> differen gear ration with different final
drive ) .

Second think imp fuel pump. make sure at least use a 1.8 inj fuel pump ( should be sufficient ) . Fuel tanks is best if u can change to 1.8 injection fuel tank. If u use the old
1.6 carb fuel tank with the 1.8 internal fuel pump ur car will jerk only when fuel very low and
u taking righ turn.

That the two most important things. If u have any question feel free to ask , that what forum for rite - to exchange. Long live B8, btw nij u probably dun remember me , I am DeC
lost my ID

hm...so the b8 180 or 210 wil ldrop directly into an astina w/o needing to add any mounts etc....thats good news...

but now im torn apart weather to get a readily transplanted astina or buy a gd condition astina and do the conversion myself.

and also torn between tx3 (2door) or an astina.

any additionnal info on this two cars to help me make up my mind?
(e.g. chasis reliability, handling capibility? spare parts)
