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)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
