Exactly.

My 20v 4AGE's distrib doesn't fit as it's on the back of the motor (when mounted longitudinally. What did I do? Smashed the hell out of it...

rofl...it's easier than cutting the firewall out.

the one my friend got had it cut out and looked professional...too bad no one could tune the car to run worth a s*** past about 7k.

damn d!ck, that back seat looks mint.

how are the headrests back by the rear window?

This winter, my 20v will be going under the knife as I install SDS on it and have it tuned professionally. You'd think the car is a turbo Nissan right now how rich it goes off throttle. The 20v's get even worse when you run velocity stacks.

Yea, mine sounds vicious as hell, especially with the TRD headers and the Buddy Club catback, but it runs rich as hell. After a couple autocross passes, my Rolla smells like if I lit a smoke, I'd blow up the whole parking lot.

i'm not gonna say nice car, cause it's not a nice car. IT"S A SUPER DUPER AWESOME CAR. When i was younger, i'd always hear and sometimes see a lowered jz'd cressida passing through the neighborhood. i always remember thinking "man what an awesome car. and it's all boxy and sexy" i'll take a boxy car anyday over the cars of today that look all feminine and space-ship like. back to the point. i just found this thread and i'm subscribing to it, because i cannot miss the opportunity to see an awesome cressida build. and when you're done with it, i'll gladly buy it off you, lol j/k (yea rite, as if i could afford it after you're done with it).

What is it with the crappy as hell pics? I don't care to see the logos or barely see the side of them, Just take some pics of the wheels and tires.

I hate closeup pics of builds with no matching wide range pics.

Yay this thread.

I'm looking at another Cressy purchase. Another MX73, black auto '87 with a free W58 & pedals.

Either that or an auto S14 with Tein HA, aero, that also comes with a 5spd trans.

Decisions decisions.

Better pics NAO!!!
