im not sure if my laurel did have guages in it but it was gutted when it got here. Holes where guages were, turbo timer and maybe what was an ebc holes were left in the dash. Little annoyed but i'll fix it. Dangerousdave you were in town the other night hey? (saturday). I pulled up next to you in the primed onevia.

Yeah man, that was me. Took me awhile to realise it was you. I eventually went to my mate, hey thats that Mase fella!

lol lwells...

yeah post up some piccehs!!

i'll email steve...

i also found quite a few goodies on my ceffy :)

not sure about a pleasure to drive... feels every bump... but it sure is FUN to drive :)

Nah this breaks my spirits.

I'm kinda 50/50 on the whole thing and god its a damn good lookin car but yea I don't know if my budget allows for a re-spray and I'm thinkin I can get a car that don't need a respray for the same money... but it just won't be a ceffy.. and if it is won't be rb25.

Shieeeeeet!

Some pics (want more ask steve)-

due what are u worried about?? it doesnt need a respray... just take the rims down to get redone and thats about it! the inside of the filler cap can be blown in but the green contrasts the white... just have green accents in the interior and engine bay :D

Thanks guys that makes me feel better.

There are actually a couple of places the green shows through however, it's only a little bit but yeah enough for me to want a respray. I guess I'm fussy like that.

And I would *IMAGINE* (I'm only guessing) the car was the stock colour, then lime green, then they sprayed it white.

I would have preferred they left it green hehe.

[edit: Iwells - the side skirts and near the door seals etc have some white flaking off the same green is underneath, not much but enough to tell the whole car was green before the white]

Anyways in my mind the little places that it comes through annoy me enough to get it sprayed which means I can't get the rims I wanted. So I'm still thinking about it..

As for the front bar if I decide to go ahead with the buy munkey is welcome to have the bar to make copies from it, or if he wants to repair the small cracks in it he is welcome to have it for a case of beer or something.

Otherwise if I don't go ahead with the buy - he can barter with Steve. (I was going to buy a front bar from him to replace this one for the respray).

Cheers guys... but yea I'm still bummed .. I have less than 24hrs to decide to get it or no as I don't want to mess Steve around as I'm sure it's a great car and many a more less-aesthetically fussy people will be able to snap up what is otherwise a great car.

Unfortunately I'm too ugly not to have a perfect (or near perfect) paint job.... TO GET THE CHICKS BRO!

O_o

(such a nice ass on the car tho)

Well, it sounds like it would only need a few areas touched up, not a back-to-metal, complete car respray, so it could be reasonably affordable.

Maybe get the front bar repaired, then get the bar and the spots the paint is flaking touched up at the same time?

Unfortunately this is the chance you take with dori'ed cars :D

LW.

LOL scrape it green.

Like I said. If you were as ugly as I was you'd need a good paint job to attract the CHICKS BRO.

Uhm.. cough..

Yeah I'm torn so I'm going to have a think about it - and I can't thank Steve enough he's been a champ - especially that he knows I'm the type of guy who would spray the car. Scratch it drifting, then pay to have the scratch fixed.

If I destroyed the front bumper, I would get another one put on with the same paint at cost... why? ... FOR THE CHICKS BRO!@

... cough.. anyway...

Watch this space - damnit ceffies are the shizo!

Cefiros are still sik even when boonged up to the hill and back. Since ive had mine a mates screwed a front quarter and ive now stoved the whole drivers side door sill in. Its a drifter - so be it :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
