Dont really want to but i think it will be for the best.

Few financial blunders recently have really put me in it at the moment...

Its going to take me at least 3 months to get this car on the road because of them and i dont think i can really have it sitting there for that long costing me money.

Im trying to decide what i should do... sell it whole or sell it in peices. Its got so many aftermarket parts on it that i could probably make more than what i paid for it to this point but it would probably be easier to sell it as a whole for what ive paid for it right now.

Might pull the 18s off it and put them on th soarer and put the soarer wheels on the ceffy and sell it like that

This is basically what needs to be done to get it on the road.

-Adjust the suspension to a legal height (has coilovers which are currently wound as low as they go)

-Repair the front bar (its a genuine monkey magic one so no point in wasting it )

-Repair the rear bar (same as above)

-Put a catback on it

-Side intrution bars

-Remove the rollcage

-Add rear child restraints

-Smaller wheels (enter the soarer wheels )

-Unleaded filler nozzle thing

And thats about all i can think of.

Would make a nice track car... then you wouldnt have to worry about doing anything to it to road register it but who would honestly buy it for that?

Meh... i need to think about whats to be.

I know once its sorted out i will be on the look out for another car.. more than likely a 4DR R32 or another ceffy.

U sell it i will bitch slap ur arse :Bang:

Keep it man, its a unique Ceffiro thats got all the goodies (never seen a sexier Ceffy) :D dont sell it before u get the chance to feel what it can do. + u still gotta give me a ride :( Voted for you to keep it of course :)

perhaps sell it as a whole if u really have to, preferably to someone looking for a drift car as all those things on the car seems to be drift-ready already. as drift events are picking up here with events like drift nats, u should b able to find buyers for the car.

otherwise selling it in pieces if you can obtain all stock items and sell the car on its own as close to std. otherwise if too much effort and take too long for you, do the above.

chris - if thats the way things pan out then yes :D

James - this is true... but it would mke things a LOT easier for me right now.. i can still manage to get it on the rd... but like i said it would take a while.

Kool then :D

Keep it man. I saw uur thread on another forum showin it off :(

i could just sit there and stare at it cuz its soo nice and shiny :)

If you sell it for how much u picked it up for then it would be the best value Ceffy :)

i'll borrow it then and take it to QLD.. you'll get it back one day.. :D maybe not in one piece but hey.. :(

Depends - do u want to really drive it like its meant to be driven ? (on a track, etc).. or drive it everyday?? Don't think its really an everyday driver from everything i have seen. I think once its registered you'd maybe drive it for only a couple of months b4 realising the realities of it.

get another r32 and swap the engines.. you know u wanna..

lmao the only reason i want it road registered is so i dont have to tow it to the events i want to partake in... if i had a truck and a trailor i wouldnt even bother registering it :)

Ive driven it a little while its been here and it isnt an everyday driver... but i work within biking distance from my house (well walking distance but im a lazy ****er) so i dont need a car for everyday... its still very easily driven on the street tho dont get me wrong.

why would you do that???You think your in a bad situation????take a look at my thing 8mnths ago.....I mean all the things you have to do to the car i am sure you already knew before you got your hands on it

:D yeah i know troy... the compliance costing isnt the issue... i knew what needed to be done but its going to take me longer than expected and i really want to get out and start practising dori and circuit work and if its going to take that long (maybe more than 3 months) then it might be easier for me to just sell it now and sort out these other issues and then maybe get somethign cheaper and slowly work it up.

i dunno... im just weighing up my options

Might want to keep in mind there might not be any more 15y.o. imports after the end of the year, so surely a car like that would then be even more expensive? Just garage it, at least you know you're going to have something you like this christmas! :D

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
