my mate has just recently baught a 2cnd gen magna,all i know is it is a glx 2cnd gen 2.6 4 cylinder,and hes stil deciding is it worth doin up?can you get much gain out of upgrades on a 2.6?
any advice wat could be done to it?i only have a few pics it needs alot of work,also wanted to ask is there any good DIY mods that can be done?like interior?and my mate was thinking of building a cold air intake do they go good wit a CAI?
and do they stil sell body kits for these?any sites etc?

That's a first gen. As for mods, I wouldn't spend my money on a car like that, but if he likes wasting money they respond well to a full exhaust system, extractors and a CAI.

do what has to be done to keep it running and roadworthy

good thing it's a manual

wait a while and see if it does the job the brothers need it to

then decide to do mods :confused:
ok cheers

first of all tell him to burn thos holden hubcaps

as for mods, the astron seems to respond ok to breathing mods
but Disciples right, not really worth it imo unless he REALLY likes the car
