I am starting a new project for 2006. It’s a 1990 Cefiro. As you might know my Convertible is for sale and most of that money is going into this car. I have already baught the shell in august and am goign to build a RB26DETT for it. Not too sure what turbos to go with yey but it will all come in time. This is going to be slow going till the Convertible is gone and then I will be going to Japan myself to build the thing. So I hope to be in Japan in jan 2006 and will start the build process. I made all my mistakes on the convertible and now know what kind of car I want so this Ceffy is going to be way way more pimp!!!

Here is a few pictures of the car. Same pics that were on the yahoo auction!! Its a 90 RB20DET automatic so the shell is in mint!!! But it will just get torn down again when it gets to Canada to get some stitch welding, cage and pimp paint aslong as the city doesnt mind that I paint in the garage. But they will never know!!!

Enjoy!!

Also, It will have 5 lug and I already got AP Racing breaks, Big Trust FMIC and will have some really really wide rims for it. Somthing along the line of what Mark has planed for his car. Picked up RB26DETT from Speed Tech Today. It’s a tired engine with bad rings but once I am done with it it will me a monster!!!

Here are pictures of engine all ugly still on the floor!

Ya I want to keep it twin. I want good responce because it will still be my daily driver for half the year. 😃

Should be a ton nicer than the convertible but I still dont know what to do for a body kit and paint. I will prob find the kit in Japan when I go there.

New Pic’s

Santa came early and gave me my 2 rear wheels for the rear of my Ceffy. 🙂

They are 14" from top to bottom so they are like either a 12" or a 13" wide:)

I cant wait to see how these wheels will not fit!!!

I will make them fit though!!! BONER!!!

On the RB26 one of the turbos was blown and I already sold the good one to a friend in edemonton. I will be rebuilding this bad one and it will be for sale in about a couple weeks for $325.00.

Thanks Chris. I can put a baby in my dish and drive and will not fall out. You gotta see them. Looks crazy siting in my garage. There light too. I will weigh them later.

New pic^^^  
My dad is a appliance repair guy and I was helping him count his stock in his work van and he had a big stainless steel fridge door that had a little dent in the top corner that you cant even see. So since its a warentee I get it. I will be converting into a front defuser and will get one for a rear defuser also.
