Well as i said i was unable to make it due to having to go check out my cefiro and decide on whether to give em the 'go ahead' with the engine swap. I did make it down to the Shell servo to say hi to Nissaner & CC.

I think next time we need to make the organisation a bit better. Sorry if it caused any probs.....i did say I was gonna be a 'no show'.

Was good to put some names and faces to fellow ceffie owners! :uh-huh:

I decided after taking my ceffie for a spin that it really does need a new engine.....running like an absolute dog....about 40% power loss....so in goes a new engine & hopefully pickup locked in for Sat fortnight! It also gave me an opportunity to 'identify' a few other issues........me thinks it needs the guards rolled considering it was rubbing harder than a $2 whore! :werd: Anyone had this done to their cefiro??? Cost?, workshops to do it!? :confused: Apart from a couple of new tyres and getting used to driving with a cage, all should be good to go!

Neways thanx again to Tom for letting me whore along for the ride in his ceffie, to the workshop and our round trip around Sydney ahahahahhahah :cuddle:

you want the guards rooled just on the inside or you want some flare looking things? if you just want to roll the inside, then 7 day tyres are ok if you want to pay too much, $50 two guards.

Well what can I say guys haha

5 of us turned up to Penrith and waited 2+ hours and no one else showed!  Was good to meet some new owners though so I was pretty happy.

My sincerest apologies for you guys waiting for 2hrs+.

I was running late to space station and decided by the time I got there I wouldn't make it to Penrith cos noone from space station was going there and plus I wouldn't make the time.

Little did I know you guys would wait 2hrs+ - oh well next times the trick!

5 cars sounds like a great number so apologies again for missing it guys hope everyone had fun!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
