exterior is nice, interior is a bit of a coontaxi though... is it hard to get cefiros registered stateside?

thanks, very hard to get the car period, reg is nearly impossible to do 100% legally.

one more thing bro, could you use your car on the road there? im just wondering its a right hand drive ceffy and were you able to pass emissions? could you even register the car?

yeah, I drive it almost everyday.

your bodykit is what they call the autech version.2.....you could fit all the underchassis of an s13 240sx....even the rack and pinion...either that or any of the r32 skyline models....just sharing info...i noticed your headlight assembly and rear brake light assebly too, they are the right ones to have in a ceffy...costs a lot here in manila....the projector headlights are shit though when you use them at night...haha!

yeah, I have the brick headlights as well as the 3 oem grills. Since we never had cefiros here, all of my chassis stuff is S13.

I agree that the projectors suck at night, especially when its wet out.

here is a pic from when i had the bricks on

    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
