Much Loved But Forgotten.....

[Cefiro Panch]

Well I got this car 3 years ago, and I drove it as a daily driver for about a year, although with petrol here in Ireland at €1.65 a litre it soon left me very poor!

I loved the car but had to get a sensible daily, I left the car lying up and as with anything the longer you leave it the more it deterioates.

So I have finally got the finger out and decided its been too long this machine has been sitting idle and she will be ready to go for summer 2013.

Il include some pics from over the years and changes she went through, here are pics of her in the very early days when I only had her 2 months maybe,

So after driving her like that for about 8 months I decided to go for wide with lots of dish!

So I bought some ridiculously wide Weds 18x11.5 -5 for the rear and painted up my old rears blue and stuck a 25mill spacer on the front!!

After all the cutting of the arches all I fiberglassed on some JUN arches and then she looked like this!

The more I look back the more I think I should have left her the way she was and painted the arches but I got sick of not being able to get it on the ramp, not being able to go lower because of the hoovercraft kit so decided to go in a different direction!!

I have taken all my inspiration for the new look from Kris Andersons A31 and I have ordered a Autech Replica kit, I am undecided on colour STILL and the more I think about it the more I dont know!

Definete plans are as follows, swap the rear subframe out for a Non-Hicas S13 one and while Im at it I will polybush everything front and back, plus probably buy a driftworks adjustable arms package!

A quick spec list is as follows

Full RB25DET boosting @0.7bar making 336.7 hp

RB25 gearbox

Japspeed D1 Intercooler

Tein coilovers all round

KAAZ 2way Diff

3" Turbo elbow, downpipe, decat and 3" Apexi cat back exhaust

5 stud R32 Skyline brake conversion

Front strut bar

Bride semi-bucket seat

Clear indicators all round

HID driving lights and fog lights

All front arms fully adjustable.

Anyway im dragging this on a bit so il finish off by showing you how she sits at the moment, and hopefully by involving myself with some other Cefiro lovers this will motivate me to finish this beast!!

Since then I have stripped the wings, all door locks and rubber seals, ready to be sanded and primed!

Wish me luck haha.
