I dunno about u guys but I have been pulled over/had peeps ask about my car at the lights constantly here in sydney since i have had it. Such is the feeling of owning a rare sleeper here in sydney.

Some scenarios:

1. I was once at the lights and ended up chopping some guy in a riced up honda civic vtir.

Ok so next set of lights the guy in the passenger gets out (I thought i was gonna get my car smashed so i had the door unlocked ready to go :D

So in the middle of traffic the guy gets out and starts asking me if i wanted to sell my car and all this other stuff. What car, parts, mods, engine .. etc etc. :)

2. Got pulled over by some undercover cops because i had no front bar (it was getting a respray). I thought was getting a ticket or something but ended up answering questions like?

1. Is that car turbo? .. I said no.. *he didnt really bother to look under bonnet)

2. Gee its kinda looks like a maxima/magna?

3. why is there such a large exhaust?

4. Why is it lowered so much for a family car? .. (he asked this once i had said it was my family car).. I said it was beacuse i liked to have a cool look.

Finally waved me on after that.

3. Some guy followed tailgated for like ages till i got into a servo station just to ask me wtf the car was as he was looking for one to drive his wife and kids around yet he could flang it once in a while. When i told him how much power and how much i bought it. He said where the fcuk u get a car such as that with that power and style for such a low price. :)

Im assuming some of u guys have been asked these q'ns had people stare at u before once u rip past em. Kinda getting used to it.

ceffo.

I always get rednecks flying up next to me and wana race me (commodores,falcons), i guess its because i have a 7" cannon out the back, anyway they are really shocked when i spin the wheels and start pulling away from them rather quickly, lol

Was driving around with temporary permit between the car yard and my house, and got asked by a kid in a lancer why my car was spooling off the lights :cheers: told him it was a turbocharged maxima from japan and he totally flipped.

Mine gets called a Cosmo a LOT. I've also had it called 'new school torrana' a camary pops up a lot, VN commodore, the TRX bluebird, that was a good one, Accord, gets called a Chaser a lot atm, people must have worked out cosmos are 2doors, and chasers have 4... But the funny thing is, most of these people have READ all the badges on the car, and they still call it a mazda or toyota...

Went to the snow on the weekend. And the amount of teenagers on holidays staring asking me about my car was hilarious. I was at jindabyne (middle of whoop whoop where there are next to nil imports) getting my gear from rebel when i walked out and there were 4 teens hanging around my car as if it was a autosalon car. :wassup:

So they asked me if it was a cefiro and i siad yes. Should have seen the look on their eyes. Felt like a movie star. Couldnt help but get a big head. So i took four of em on a little spin a bit down further for a drift around a wide bend. And the poor buggers nearly shit themselves all this on standard boost.. LOL

Ended up giving out meggala.com cards to go see his website for importing and so forth.

Also the amount of commodore/ford drivers getting terrified as u rip past em on the freeway and your turbo spools/BOV goes off. See their faces as they look at your car at the next town and realize they were outrun by a "family car"

I have only owned my cef for a few weeks and I have copped the 20 questions at petrol stations almost everytime I stop to fill up, but so far the most rewarding lil' stint I had was when a green P plater in a more or less brand new VY clubsport 260kw came up next to me at the lights...

now Im not one for racing on the street but new car and when I heard him rev it up just before green I had to give it a go, blitzed him, he then waved me over chatted to me for a good half hour - not to mention he was shocked and appalled that my cheap modded import just smashed his expensive new pride and joy :wassup:

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
