filo_a31 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 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 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. **To be continued when i get time to update** Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384937-my-ceffy-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Even_Flow Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 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..??

filo_a31 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 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. *to be continued* Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384937-my-ceffy-build/#findComment-6146223 Share on other sites More sharing options...

filo_a31 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 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.
