lol u serious? i was looking a that a week or so ago trying to convince my gf to learn to drive manual :) nice work mate and at that price its a bloody bargain, specially with the mods!!!

finally got mine registered on saturday... car feels very light... :) (i'm used to the weight of 33 gtr... hehe) only annoying thing atm is that the driver side sun visor has no clip and it keeps on banging my head... :)

plus, stock exhaust looks like a set of chopstick... hehe

couldn't be happier with the car...

I got the cefiro on the weekend finally! first thing I did after my 2 hour rego (bloody rta poindexters) I forked out for some audio gear and spent the weekend ripping apart teh interior and putting it all in.

very happy with the cef, it drives beautifully and cleaned up very well.... after 5 hours of labour.... man there was a lot of crap in the door jambs...

result: I found a couple of yen coins, a flare that quickly got burnt and lots and lots of old audio cables... attached to nothing but left in the dash and under seats.

the cef feels very light (great power steering) and has a very comfortable interior... I am surprised in all I have read online about cefs that no one really mentioned how cruisey these cars are inside, I have a blackish interior but it seems to be tinted with red from sun rays over time... odd. I didn't realise from the dealers pics that the white paint has a pearl effect through it? does everyone else with white cefs have that? I couldn't tell if it was post purchase paint...

i was gonna but a bid on that car hehehe. you beat me to it god damn it. hahaha that car is mint though congrats on your buy.

how much did it cost to comply? if you dont mind me asking

u talking to me? anyways, if you are, it cost me $2376 to comply + blueslip... there were some extra stuff needed for the car.. the car was missing a cat, the front suspension was cut in half, aircon wasn't degassed, hks filter needed a new element.. etc.. i would say if it wasn't for these little things, the cost would've been alot cheaper..

I didn't realise from the dealers pics that the white paint has a pearl effect through it? does everyone else with white cefs have that? I couldn't tell if it was post purchase paint...

mine has pearl over white but mine was a respray job... don't know if that colour was available on factory white...

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
