Post by **93coupe** » Mon Jul 13, 2009 5:15 pm

That roof spoiler rocks. I love the fact that it's transparent.

I would totally 1j my Cressida if it was in any kind of shape to do so. Rust is starting to devour my car.

Post by **HashiriyaS14** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 4:19 am

I may be picking up ANOTHER factory 5spd MX73 later today. This one is even nicer.

I sold the first one to a good friend of mine.

Post by **dickie** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 7:31 am

anyone want the red one? texas car means no rust... but it aint pretty. perfect candidate for a rollcage and a w58 behind the 7m.

little known fact: s14 springs go right on the mx83 and drop the car about 2 inches. anyone need to get rid of a set?

Post by **HashiriyaS14** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 7:39 am

My Cressida buy isn't happening, guy won't come down on the price enough.

Does the S14 spring trick work on the MX73 also?

Post by **dickie** » Tue Jul 14, 2009 7:47 am

dont think so. mx73's have a different suspension setup.

Post by **dickie** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 12:39 pm

Post by **krash** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:19 pm

hmmm, not really working for me, don't really like it....That engine looks official though! and I want to see how this build comes togehter

Post by **Dattebayo** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:36 pm

It's a sleeper. You're not supposed to like it, the OP is.

Post by **krash** » Thu Jul 23, 2009 1:43 pm

I know. Which is why I wasn't all like, "y000 wtf POS is that y000 why didn't you buy a 240 and put an ESS ARGHHH IN ITTTT?!!" hahaha I like seeing how these cars that people don't really think about turn out when theyre in the right hands. Just not that big of a fan of that gen cressida

its cool, i already joined a forum devoted solely to this type of car so im not fishing for compliments posting it anywhere else. just figured you guys could use a break from the usual stuff.

im going to enjoy the piss out of this car, just as soon as i can figure why the exhaust manifold is not letting go of the downpipe on the POS 7M thats in there right now...

Post by **HashiriyaS14** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 3:25 am

^^I emailed you about Cressy forums, btw.

The MX83 interior is so choice, I don't know why they used the silly Camry for the first Lexus product and not the MX83.

We both own Miatas, Cressidas, and occasionally ride motorcycles, and yet we mod a Nissan board. WTF.

Post by **dickie** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:08 am

received and replied.

im exhausted, but another full day of pulling stuff ahead. found whats hanging the exhaust so i can get it off, get the driveshaft off, get the motor and trans drained and hopefully pulled. then i can clean up the bay and see what im working with.

found out this is an abs car but im going to just keep it for now. its not hurting anything except for being heavy and in the way of intercooler piping, maybe. it will be the first car i have ever owned with abs and hopefully the first with working a/c.

Post by **hachiroku781** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 5:34 pm

Wait, you're running a CT26? I have never had good experiences with that turbo.

Post by **dickie** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:54 pm

having it rebuilt and upgraded. not looking for serious power yet, going to find a good holset hx35 when the time comes for 450+. right now looking for a reliable 300ish daily.
