  1. Hey guys, I can't re-mount the latch for the boot release and fuel lid and I suspect it is missing a clip. Can someone take a pic of the latch from the inside of the boot and also with the fuel lid open? Thanks!
  2. Digging up this old thread. My cluster is playing funny business so this could be a nice little mod. I'm thinking that the engine is RB25 so the tacho should be ok. Box is RB25 so technically the speedo should be ok too. Not sure about the other gauges on there though.... Can anyone shed some light?
  3. That's like saying "which kid is your favourite?"! I expect this one will become my favourite because it is so setup but I can't go past my first ceffy as the current fave. It was my first import, learnt how to drift in it, learnt the punishment of speeding in it (haven't had a speeding fine since I sold it in 2007!) and learnt how expensive imports really are. Getting reeeeally keen to drive this car though and really see what it can do on the track.
  4. From gravygarage on here who wrote off his car. Paid $250 which is the reg price for them. Shop around mate - they pop up every now and then.
  5. Purchased some bits including S2 lights, front kick panels and cluster surround to neaten up the car a bit. S1 lights - before.... S2 lights after.....so much nicer
  6. Hi chaps, Chucking my S1 lights up for sale as I've got some S2 ones now. Not sure if anyone will want these but they are in great condition with no cracks and for a bargain price. Looking for $70 or make me an offer. Also got a single light (drivers side) with a crack in the lens. $10 for this one otherwise its going in ze bin.

  8. Had to laugh at this. I was searching google images for catch can locations and one of the images linked through to this.... http://www.pakwheels...orth-14000-only
  9. Good news. Need pics of track day
  10. Bummer about the knife! I used an angle grinder to cut mine - does the job like a hot knife through butter, then just file off the burrs .
  11. looking good! Did you end up having any issues with the engineer?
  12. Also activities happening over the next week or so.... 1. Purchasing weather shields 2. Welding up holes in the floor where the bolt in cage was 3. Removing the carpet over where the rear seat was welding in some sheet metal to fill in the hole that goes through to the boot. 4. Filling AC holes in the firewall and any other holes I can find to try and stop the petrol smell coming through.
  13. Haha pretty much Dan, I'll chuck a pic of the garage once I clean it up. She is trying to put a table in there are the moment but I'm insisting there is no space
  14. Haha for sure! Got the house with a garage now so no reason to sell the car. Want to make it something pleasant to drive and slide. Right now it feels like a bit of a tin can.

Stopping off for some food after finally finding a tyre shop that had 16in tires to fit the stockies. $400 I didn't want to have to spend on stock tires but we were desperate Stayed at Moree overnight and stopped off at Parkes quickly the next day. Reached Nagambie about 8pm Sunday after leaving Moree at 6:30am and had a fuel / food stop After putting the car in the garage and not touching it for a week I thought I should put the old rims back on it and take it for a spin while it still had rego and a cover note.
  16. "boy racers" - makes me laugh every time. Such a stereotypical Kiwi term
  17. Really? Read the ad - "Pickup from Melton West 3337." Don't want to post due to the size of it.
  18. Hi all, I'm selling the cage out of the Cefiro that I recently bought as I want to get a custom full cage made up. It is a Saftey-21 cage (sunroof model) that follows the contours of the rear door line so you can still take passengers in the back. I had the same cage in my old cefiro with the rear seats in place and it worked well. This cage is missing the bar that runs across the front where the sun visors are. You could use the cage as a half cage or get a custom bar made up so I'm offering a super low price on this cage to get it out of my garage. Price: $300 pickup PM me for more info. Pickup from Melton West 3337.

  21. This was on 60 minutes a couple of years ago I think. Some Aussie dude that loves guns and goes to Asia to shoot them. I remember watching the story and saying to my gf "omg he is shooting a cefiro!!" hahaha
  22. Looking good man! I love the clean lines of this car with the front lip. How much is a set of those CST rims? I quite like them.
