I usually laugh at people who post in these threads but her i am with nothing better to do right now.

I always loved cefiros way before i even got my L's so i eventually i ended up buying one and loved it!..... and about 18 months later it made friends with a rock wall.:(

That evening i went on SAU and found this shell, went and had a look at it the next day, and i picked it up that weekend :woot:

I stripped the shit out of my old car.

Transfered my Apexi N1 coilovers, OS Geiken 2-way LSD, Adjustable arms, R33 GTR wheels, R33 Brakes and 5 stud conversion, strut braces, gtr seats, fuel pump, nardi steering wheel, etc.

A few weeks later i scrapped the old ceffy and pushed the new one into the garage.

My origninal plan with the old car was to drop a rb25 into it but unfortunately i was stupid and hit a rockwall.

So istead of dropping the rb20 in. I bought this!

Standard series one RB25det motor, loom, ecu.

Installed yellowjacket coils, gates racing timing belt, adjustable exhaust cam gear, new waterpump and sprayed the rocker covers ford racing blue.

I then stumbled upon this!

Garret GT3076R 0.82 rear, HKS low manifold, Tial 38mm gate, braided lines with speedflow fittings.

Installed on motor after hacking the engine mount up a little.

Dropped motor in engine bay.

Atempted to fit front mount and cooler piping, but it just didnt want to fit so i bought another intercooler kit.

Yeah nice mate, looked tough before the wall... Im a fan of non kitted ceffys personally.. The new replaement does look good though.

Quick question, with ya old one i noticed the rear of your bonnet was raised abit for extra cooling, how did you do it, is there anything you need to buy or do or is it just extra washes underneath it to prop it up..??

Piece of piss. As many washers as you desire and longer bolts going into the hinges

Engine bay coming tegether. Installed new cooler piping, reused old radiator, hooked up power steering lines, fuel system.

Reused RB25 gearbox and modified tailshaft. All fits nicely. Had lots of fun lifting that baby in. Brought back memories of the first time...but lets not go there.

And yes i do intend on doing something about my cracked fan shroud.

Some more photos with the new fmic and front bar test fitted.

Bad news. When drilling into the back of my inlet manifold i dont think i held the drill straight because i tapped and fiited a speed flow fitting for the turbo return line, pressure tested the cooling system and it leaks.

Good news. best excuse the buy a genuine greddy forward facing plenum!

Waiting on plenum from japan.

Been pretty lazy and trying to get motivated but heres some photos of my new Work Emotion XD9 17x9.5 +28 wheels. I have found true love now haha. All that remains now to get it running is wiring. Then i'll be whacking my injectors, z32 afm, and computer in to get it dyno'd. Pretty exciting..

Oh and i have a photo of my engine bay with the greddy plenum all fitted.

    • I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL
    • Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"  
    • I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
    • So far so good, another hour and their done
    • Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
