Started off with cars about 3 years ago, I'm currently 19 from toronto ontario and here is my build.
Most cars up here don't do it right, so fellow friends and I try to hold it down our best.

Started out with this thing.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/DSC_0018.jpg

then did standard teenager 240 procedure.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/DSC_0011-1.jpg

then broke a battle and stumbled upon a pair of these.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/THK_1121.jpg

got sick of being in highschool and not being able to source a matching pair
so traded for these
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/DSC_0500.jpg

then traded those four for 8 of these
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/DSC_0756-1.jpg

then drifted the car alot

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/DSC_0232-1.jpg

theeeeen built the car over winter and drifted it alot.

chassis was ready for death and I was bored of owning a car I didnt enjoy street driving. The racecar novelty wore off.

I had been on the prowl for a clean 180 or 240 chassis but wasn't very excited and was overall bored of these cars. Had a "next year" chat with a friend of mine and we came to the conclusion I should buy this Cefiro shell that had been sitting up for sale for a long long time. Ended up putting a deposit on the car 3 days later.

About a day after I trailered the car home a friend and I went halves on some shop space. Small but in budget and works.

started dissassembly

Refreshed racecar suspension for cefiro
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC1676.jpg

Built myself some tubs.

Scrapped the s13
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC1824.jpg

Test fitted Orgin kit.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC1828.jpg

Got a set of eurolines in 18x9/10 +30, was never satisfied with the sizing and were more of an impulse.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC1831-1.jpg

the initial plan was an easy as pie throw my racecar SR in and bam!
Then I realized how ass backwards it is to put a 4 cylinder 0 tq motor in a big sedan with a 6cyl engine bay. Rb's are cool and stuff but to have a 25 to my liking I would need another $1000+ for a forward facing manifold etc.
So I picked up a soarer 1jzgte R154 dealy.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC1895.jpg

Made some custom lines

2 steeepppppin' http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2309.jpg

Grinded down the inside welds and added glass to fill, followed by evercoat glaze.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2319.jpg

http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2323.jpg

Since you are 19, may I ask how you afford all of this? Where'd you get those welding skills?

Nice build though man. I would have not been able to dump a car like that. I'd probably be too attached haha

12-07-2011, 12:41 AM
You have a lot of talent in your build, and I envy the work you are putting in, but I still don't know why people import them to Canada. I simply Hate Cefiro's. They always reminded me of a silvia's fatter uglier sister. A lot of people from the US will love it simply for being JDM.

However

That being said, your car is going to be probably one of the coolest ones on this Continent, and if its clean, you will for sure get featured in magazines. My respect for this car and your build go far beyond anyone's expectations.

Keep up the good work!

-sanded,vacuumed, wiped down and masked then laid some filler primer
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2422.jpg

-knocked that down with some finer grit, ended up filling in small imperfections and sanding marks very well.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2427.jpg

-tossed brakes on
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2429.jpg

Looks like a great build man. I'm beginning to see the gangster factor in the cefiro midsize body. Looks hot with those wheels.

I'm surprised you didn't keep going with the welder and make a 'nismo power brace' or some sort before you painted. Will you be making fender braces or anything extremely structural or just tubs and holes filled?

Also what welder are you using. Argon gas? It has to be inert gas lol I get flux core splatter everywhere. Need to step up my game instead of farm equipment welder lol.

Looks great. Great body work skills in here too being used nowhere on the body :P but somewhere more important.

I might get around to some bracing, the car isnt that serious the goal is just to have a very fun cool looking street car that im satisfied with haha. I use just a lincoln easy mig 140, its just a 120v welder with gas. Does ok work you just run into the risk of tripping the breaker at higher amperage.

I keep getting asked about this money thing. The car is being built from my racecar partout that I drained money into over a few years, and alot of the parts have been carried over, get your hustle on, keep your money strong :). At the end of the day there isnt all that much money into this car...

First off I gotta thank my photobucket sponsor Oliver, dudes truly the man.
Here is his 240z build that will probably take over the world of cars in the spring.
Oliver's 240z Build. (http://community.ratsun.net/topic/31144-my-72-shitbucket/)

HAHA i go hard in the paint here and there I guess. Santi caught me in my prime!

thanks mark, serious cars are for goofs. haha

been going at it as usual.

Stopped by sasha's shop got his old stance fender roller and a -6 mocal oil cooler that ill hook up if i feel like it, but mostly bought it because it was a good price.

Then notched these for max low in the back and no bending tie rods.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2466.jpg

Cleaned up the aluminum octopus that deals with the twins and high temp cleared it. Didnt to it perfect, should suffice until I do some other turbo setup.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2467.jpg

Lockbar all in and assembled. Rear end complete.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2469.jpg

Routed vacuum lines for my Truboost, I know im going to get greedy sooner or later so might aswell run the plumbing for it with the motor out of the car.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2475.jpg

Mounted the solenoid in a nifty spot, still have to get a 1/8th npt extention fitting that the clamp will go onto nicely.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2477.jpg

Today was gonna be awesome!
It started out a fucking disaster.
Layed clear onto about 30% of the bay, there was a reaction and it wrinkled the paint.
I RAGED and went back to the dick-nose who set me up with the paint, let him know he's doing it wrong so he mixed me up some complimentary custom high quality cans. Should do the job and work with the clear. This setback is GAY.
Started by razor blading and sanding this goopy slu of chemicals off.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2478.jpg

was left with how I started. Also scuffed the rest of the bay while I was at it.
http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad98/LIAMKIRBY/_DSC2487.jpg

I ended up getting sick of working on that and while and I waited for trnka and oliver to come out I made a nifty shift knob.

Thanks for all the positive comments, helps heavy on the motivation side of things haha

As for the fittings they are all aeroquip socketless stuff very easy to assemble, compression fittings and braided hose is overkill in 99% of plumbing, and looks too racey. LINK! (http://www.jegs.com/p/Aeroquip/Aeroquip-Socketless-Hose-AN-Fittings/749453/10002/-1)

Trnka came down for two days, we smashed alot of shit out. Not one issue while assembling stuff.

Masked off the wheel well area, brushed/rolled on some rubberized undercoating. Turned out awesome, really gave a good finish to the front end.

Ride height looks about right. Will be somewhere around there under real compression.

Ended up spending the rest of my time making nice brackets for the intercooler and intake, pictures when the paint drys on those!

Also a big thanks to all the friends to have come out and keep me company or even help: Oliver, Y-Bobby, Trnka, Smith, Drew, T-Row, My Dad, Martino, Santi, Paul, Jordie, Adam, Chase, Derrick, Ethan. If i missed some, you know who you are, This has been a crazy 4 months!

Have a small list to knock off before it should be driveable, bleeding clutch, making exhaust, making wheels fit etc.

So satisfied with this build right now. Accomplished my goal, School starts tuesday haha!

I think the front ride height looks fine for the bumper clearance but I don't imagine you can drive without it rubbing, haha. Looks like you have to take the front up 6mm and the rear 12mm to drive around, that should give you enough aero clearance too, LOL.

I can't wait to see action shots of this thing though, it looks amazing!

Are you running a Gates Timing belt?

greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeddy belt.

also added a few degrees of camber to the front and lowered it about a half inch so its level, car is back on jackstands to finalize fitting aero and a bunch of stuff, should be back on the ground and take it for a spin if the salt clears up sooner than later.

You have more than enough clearance might need to adjust ur fenders slightly or rub a lil

after your car has been lowered the .5 it has been, i think i am still an inch lower in the front with a wheel that is 10mm more aggressive.

Why didn't you cross the floor and exit exhaust on the factory side ?
Seems easier. No?
