MX83 Cressida build aka hunting for tires

[Hitman Cody2130]

Had a Toyota meet today and a buddy grabbed a nice rolling shot of the cressiderp. I am digging the look of it with the new whels, I still need to mess with the height a bit. After that its time for some more fender rolling and spacers

[Hitman Cody2130]

Got my coilovers and wheels put on last night, feels a ton better than the cut springs. We still have to mess with ride height and get that dialed in but its waynbetter than before

7mgte's are awesome dude!!!

dont listen to whatever people have bad to say about them.
I drove one in a mk3 supra 3000 miles straight from san jose CA to savannah Georgia. non stop.. not one issue! and I pulled boost the entire way flying about 90! haha

they are great engines!

anyways! your cressida is ugly as sin!!!

ahaha on that note, I want to see it turned into something badass!

We will be doing that, I am having some subframe bushings made that should help me get to the height that I want to be at

[Dudermagee]

Did you reinforce the subframe and replace the bushings in the diff and subframe yet?

They have a habit of cracking under stock hp and tq.

I love getting new shit

Awesome car cant wait to see what you do with it.

May I suggest a 1jz swap?

I was gonna do either a 1/2jz swap or a 1uzfe but with the 7m blowing up now I am short by about 1500-1800 to do either one of those ao the 7m will have to work for now.

what happend to the x6?

The x6 was sold towards the end of last summer, the cold start injector (I think) would not allow the car to start and after 3 minths of just trying to get the car running I gave up. I really do like working on the x8 chassis a ton more btw.

Looks like I burned a valve in the stock 7mge so its turbo time I think! Found a 7mgte locally for a decemt deal and I shouldnbe headed to pick it up here in the next few days. Will be nice to drive turbo car again

[Hitman Cody2130]

Lolol, that is damn funny man. I went with different wheels and tires all together so we will see how they fit once they get here and go from there on cutting fenders and putting on flares

[loekaaz]

keep the tyres, cut the fenders and put on bolt-on-flares.

I dont get why people would fit iny-miny-tiny small tyres like you see on lots of these old school Japanese cars.

I just picked up one of these myself, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

[Hitman Cody2130]

New parts have started to arrive! My wheels and wing should be here either late this week or early next week and then ita time to start installin parts

[veedubbin]

Looks kinda nice in the rain! Can't wait to see what it looks like once you find smaller tires
