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

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
