Well guarkkk, lack of updates is lacking. Mainly due to phone breaking and hence no camera. :/ the good old ipotato camera has failed.
Anyway. got a new daily because my other was shitting me off to much;
Bought some new wheels;
(Imagine some weak sized and springlesprangled wheels that are SSR meshies here)
They will get widened soon to something a little cooler.
Anyway, got a ton of study and stuff to do for unisadly. so nothing will happen over the next few weeks, then something will! finally. But it will just be general maintenance on both and silliness, nothing to crazy.

ok! an update, finally. Which includes new wheels, tyres and general awesome.
I got over the white wheels as we all know, very.... interesting style.
I wanted to keep the car period correct, so i bought some SSR Mesh in 5 stud, to suit my brake setup which is harder than it seems to do.
Anyway, the plan was to widen them, stretch tyres and slam. However laws changed where I am so I went in another direction; which im loving.
16 x 7 +27 with 205/55 Federal 595's
16 x 8 +27 with 205/55 Zetas ZT10's or something.
So they have no stretch, bulge actually. Along with not such a ridiculous stance focus, even a raise overall!
rides amazing, I love the 90's look thats going on and just general love the car a lot more and now it has a bit more of 'my' input rather than the previous owners!
So the new wheels specs with spacers are; 16 x 7 +12 and 16 x 8 +7!
nothing scrubs, nothing hits, everything is awesome.
All photos thanks to standard Fried!

Right, sunday was a HUGE day for the cefiro. It has had a lot of maintenance and fixing of niggling little issues, so it was good to give it a shakedown of decent length.
let my house at close to 5am, went out to the track!
Changed plugs, oils, radiator fluid, installed a new oil cooler and catch can, tightened up the intercooler mounts, cleaned all intercooler piping for the little blow by it had and threw on the new tyres is just part of the list I have recently done.
The oil pressure stayed steady, no leaks from cooler or anywhere near the catch can. New plugs seem to be doing what they are meant to be doing. intercooler is still solid, new piping doesnt have any new blow by, so catch can seems to be doing its job! car boosted nicely the whole day minus one little niggly leak thats causing a little hesitation but I will fix that in the coming week(s).
Went for a cruise after the track meet for a good 300km's, car used the right amount of fuel, pulled well the whole way, chirps in 3rd/4th at 80km'h on the highway so that was all glorious fun.
new steer tyres are amazing, but I knew that from previous dealings with them. The rears are questionable however ha, so hopeless in the wet, as soon as you get on boost they spin. but hey, thats not to bad I suppose.
Hopefully someone got a decent rolling shot of me.....

Man, Ive always wanted a cefiro... I wish these were sold here in the us.... This sucks..... Great looking ride btw! FTW!!"Dont let the opinions of the average man sway you.
Dream, and he thinks your crazy.
Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky.
Aquire wealth, and he thinks your greedy.
Pay no attention. He simply does'nt understand"

And thanks!
Anyway, just for giggles, my daily has had a bit of work recently.
It went from that to the currently.
New Tyres
New Wheels
New Flares
New Soft top
Ruined my front nudge bar
And all the rest, its sitting now like this!
So now its a capable, fun, small and hopefully nimble little toy out on the tracks.
and the ceff is still around, just chilling and getting driven once every million years it seems :'( and one of the ladies in my unit block reversed into my front quarter ugh, its not bad and theres not really damage, but dammit, people are terrible and should just respect others property.

Destroyed my rear pod, sideskirt and dinted a rear quarter when I put them on, never again.
My mate - who runs the tyre shop I get my stuff at - was like, yeah man what are you after? told him I wanted something LIKE achillies ATR (these are supposedly average but I have never had a problem) but he took that as, cheapest rubber ever, so I got zetas...
I can sit on the highway in the rain, in third, and just come onto boost and it spins no worries at all, its the worst.
