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

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
