Well as i said i was unable to make it due to having to go check out my cefiro and decide on whether to give em the 'go ahead' with the engine swap. I did make it down to the Shell servo to say hi to Nissaner & CC.

I think next time we need to make the organisation a bit better. Sorry if it caused any probs.....i did say I was gonna be a 'no show'.

Was good to put some names and faces to fellow ceffie owners! :uh-huh:

I decided after taking my ceffie for a spin that it really does need a new engine.....running like an absolute dog....about 40% power loss....so in goes a new engine & hopefully pickup locked in for Sat fortnight! It also gave me an opportunity to 'identify' a few other issues........me thinks it needs the guards rolled considering it was rubbing harder than a $2 whore! :werd: Anyone had this done to their cefiro??? Cost?, workshops to do it!? :confused: Apart from a couple of new tyres and getting used to driving with a cage, all should be good to go!

Neways thanx again to Tom for letting me whore along for the ride in his ceffie, to the workshop and our round trip around Sydney ahahahahhahah :cuddle:

you want the guards rooled just on the inside or you want some flare looking things? if you just want to roll the inside, then 7 day tyres are ok if you want to pay too much, $50 two guards.

Well what can I say guys haha

5 of us turned up to Penrith and waited 2+ hours and no one else showed!  Was good to meet some new owners though so I was pretty happy.

My sincerest apologies for you guys waiting for 2hrs+.

I was running late to space station and decided by the time I got there I wouldn't make it to Penrith cos noone from space station was going there and plus I wouldn't make the time.

Little did I know you guys would wait 2hrs+ - oh well next times the trick!

5 cars sounds like a great number so apologies again for missing it guys hope everyone had fun!

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
