As some of you guys know I purchased my cefiro with the intention of drifting it. A year+ later I still hadn't got it 100% where I would have liked it to be. IMO it's still missing some gauges and an oil cooler (which I sold when I decided to sell the car).

A couple of days ago I took a deposit and it will be sold within 10 days or so...

Cut a long story short this Saturday will be my first and last time drifting the cefiro on the track.

SO WHO'S COMING TO REPRESENT CEFIRO POWER?

Nice work Tom on getting the car sold!! :(

Would love to bring the Ceffie along but unless someone has some spare front suspension or a lazy $1.5K lying around to give me the front passanger guard will be obliterated......

Might actually come along and watch thou!! Give us a buzz Tom with the finer details and i might head down with u!!

too much boost - Mate nothing hit at all....just think the aftermarket suspension has had its day...... Tom (someonestolecc) & I had a good look into the problem and had NFI why it aint working.....its got some wierd setting device on the top of it with a little black thingy :P that can be turned to 1 2 3 or Z.......NFI.....

Coilovers to go in soon

My car is still on stands in my front yard, I have been doing some drivetrain work and rear suspension work whilst I had it on stands to replace a snapped driveshaft.

I have to work tomorrow until 2 pm otherwise I'd be out sliding, so after 2 I'll put it back together and get it off the stands but it might be a bit late by then... we'll see what happens

I love seenin the ceffie representation at dori days, theres been a few of late but I haven't slid in a while due to lack of cashola and time off work.

Yeah i know! So f'ing pissed about the shitola getting my ceffie up and running! Just wanna get out there! Next month hopefully!

BTW where did pplz get their helmets from??? I need to get one and dont wanna spend $$$$ on getting a new one as they as way to pricy for my budget :)

I got my helmet from Cashies, not a scratch on it, cost $60.

It has to be the Australian Standards approved, meaning having that lil sticker on it with the red ticks.

PS ORAN SOUTH IS SHIT HOT.

Its so fast, flatout, I love it.

Comeon Tom i wanna hear about the day MOFO!!!! post already :D

P.S. Did u buy a helmet or borrow one? I need one and if u bought urs and thinking about selling it let me know!!!! Minus the nits thou ;)

Hehe Ando.

I drove to Newcastle on thursday to pick up a helmet. Bought it from a big guy and it still smelt brand new and fitted on my fat head perfectly.

too_much_boost, being the gracious legend he is lent me some rims and tyres, as well as his jack, wheel nuts, petrol and he even bought me lunch on the day!!* It was the only reason I was able to go drift - he also helped me with my sway bar which had popped out and gave me the replacement bit.

All I had to do was perform sexual favours!! I outsourced that out to too_much_boost anyway so it turned out to be a great deal.**

So yeah the track thing was pretty easy.. 1-2 laps to get used to the track experience.. lap 3 started to do some power overs and by 4th lap I started sliding. By the middle of the day I had linked the first 3 or so corners and could do 100-120kmh entries. Still no handbrake/feint near the wall for me though, didn't want to crash.

Basically it's pretty straight forward, I was thinking I didn't want to get in anyone's way etc but it was all unfounded because we got plenty of track time and plenty of room. The only person who was indimidating there was some guy in the MFX sponsored white 180 with blue decals on the side - he overtook me at 200kmh+ on the straight, scaring the shit out of me (he did it really late near the corner). The next session he was behind me he decided to do a 150kmh+ entry while I was about to start sliding.. so if I had kept sliding he would have slid straight into me so I had to abort drifting and grip drive to get away.. I decided to grip the rest of the lap and he decided to stay on my tail the same as the experienced drivers who knew each other were doing. Pretty scary for me being new - all good though.

Other than that it consisted of scrutineering, lining up, getting waved into the track, drifitng a few laps, waiting for the checkered flag to come out, finishing the lap, driving back to the pits/carpark and lining up again or parking your car. Repeat.

As for my helmet it was a pretty nice helmet so I might keep it cos it'll be hard for me to find another helmet this quality, and I do expect to be out there again one day :(

I got some vids and some pics but I'll have to encode them and host em somewhere.. I have some incar too - I haven't figured out where just yet :huh:

One thing that annoyed me was my camera ran out of battery 1 lap before I started to pull the best runs of the day :\

Pics are as per the IDA thread - http://photobucket.com/albums/d16/Aeronpho...0Park%204-2-06/

and apparantly there'll be more on the IDA galleries as soon as they are uploaded.

Dave was there too he shredded it sick. Was going hard the whole day - even came with me on a tourist drive through the ghetto town of Cobbity.

* No, he didn't really buy me petrol or lunch but he did all the other stuff. So thanks Anthony you're a champ.

** What a man does in the sanctity of his own tyre shed is his own business :(

Well about bloody time Tom!!!! ehehehe thanks heaps for the write up man!! Appreciate it!

Once i get my ceffie to the track, if ur free ur more than welcome to jump in and im sure ill be happy to give u a slide!

Will be good to meet some fellow cefiro drifters....Basketcase and too_much_boost! Maybe even get some others down! YES i'm looking at u replicate :mellow:

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
