On the way down Port Wakefield Road I was waiting at the traffic lights, and a silver Ceffy (same colour as mine) turned off Diagonal Road, so I quickly caught up to it. It was absolute stock, nothing changed on it.

Got the shock of my life when I pulled up along side.. and it was a late 40 year old woman by herself in it. Maybe older, she looked like one of them people that would be offended if you call them older then they actually are lol.. :ninja: She was concentrating ever so hard!

a friend of mine had his in his mums shed down here in bunbury, now he's taken it out to narrogin to work on her. only import in a sea of bogans and farm machinery. thing is an animal

Almost none in the UK. I know of mine, one being broken in Cornwall, one guy on this forum who has one in Cornwall, one up in Scotland, and a mate of mine once saw one being driven like an utter tit (ie. no mechanical sympathy) by some wannabe gangsta type who upon chatting to him it turned out he had no idea what he had.

I do 40,000 miles a year, which is a lot by UK standards (I realise some of you guys probably do that much just getting to the next town :P ) and have never seen another on the road.

I didn't see any............ til i bought mine.

There is a stock one getting around the Tweed Heads area with a 50yr old woman driving it

Other than that ive seen approx 3 on the Gold Coast streets. I know there is more

Most up here are drifters

Seen my original now dead white cefiro, a mates now sold cefiro, same mates new cefiro, random blue cefiro, random white autech kit cefiro, another white autech kit cefiro, phillb's cefiro, "hectik" billics cefiro, random purple cefiro, SR20 cefiro and my gun metal cefiro... i see different ones around every 6 months or so.. all in sydney..

its always funny going home to NZ for a few weeks and seeing cefiros everywhere is like christmas...it gets old pretty damn quick through, unless you see a super tough example which happens on occasion, majority are massive, bent Plgs

dont see too many Ceffys on the street day-to-day in Adelaide, especially not clean ones. but there are definitely a few around, few of the SA forum members have nice clean examples

most that i have actually seen on the road with my own eyes are drift hacks - broken bits of fibreglass BN kits, zip ties holding shit together, straight pipe exhausts, just asking for a defect notice

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
