I've started talking to a new company in NSW that will be releasing their own kits for a range of cars & saw it as a good opportunity to try get a bit more variety in Aus, rather than the usual Uras copy for Ceffies. Obviously they're not going to buy a few genuine kits and create molds if there isn't enough interest. So.... what kits would Cefiro owners like to see copied & made available in Aus?

Poll is multiple choice. If you want another kit added let me know, I'll chuck it in.

i have an idea.

copy the original SERIES 3 front bumper. remove the "lower grill" bits. like... you know... the "teeth" of it if you will..

then just get the fibre glasser to mock up a Club-S front (style) front lip.

cefiros have an old body shape - they look best with STOCK bodies.. the cefiro post-jdm. they dont need big swoopy huge body kits anymore. they get enough "kudos" on the road without NEEDING gaudy kits like final konnexion / BN sports

just re-make the original.. customise it so that it looks a bit more bad ass... fabricate a lip onto it to get some lowness happening. and voila!!!

i know that this is a soarer... but this guy has taken the series 3 soarer OEM bumper, and stuck a type 1 lip onto it. and i reckon it looks awesome

^^^imagine that sytle adapted to a cefiro!

Autech kit in polyurethane rather than shitty fibreglass.

All the euro shops in UK/USA do polyurethane for the same price as we buy fibreglass knockoffs at for beemers and audi's. All comes out of china too.

Looks like the front bumper may be getting changed...

That's why I was asking, I've been seeing that same kit advertised with a blurred out front bar for the last 4 years or so on yahoo auctions.

I'm yet to find out if this company will make/copy kits for Cefiros at all, so far the conversation has just been floating the idea, sending them images of kits available in Japan. I'm meeting them Sunday to speak about it more. Please take all of this with a grain of salt - I don't want to build false hope.

Thoughts on an Autech kit with a second hole on the other side of the front bar?

Keen on symmetrical Autech kit.

Autech S2 / S3 ?

S2/S3?

S1? (middle section chopped out)

S2 front with lip?

S1 rear

S2 rear?

What's S3? Or have I just got it wrong and there's only Autech S2/S3?

I'd even consider getting this one (Japanese words) TBO if the bottom centre section lined up with the lower flared section in the centre - it'd be similar to a symmetrical Autech bar with the lip molded in (albeit a more pronounced lip)

Never seen a Series 3 Autech

Series 2 front bar = here (althought that is a fibreglass front bar from Japan, so I'm not sure if S2 is actually symmetrical or not from Autech factory)

Autech S2 has a lip built in

You can buy a lip/flare for S1 Autech (in the Cool Shit thread I started in this section)

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
