I don't think that is a Cressida, there is only 2 doors. Looks like a x73 front though.

I'm still dying to find an MX73 factory 5spd.

I'd sell everything else I've got to have one as a project.

My friend had a stripped mx83 with a 300hp 7mgte. Thing was a monster. Really stiff suspension, no ground clearance, and bald tires. I was scared to drive it. Whichever gear you were in, when boost hit, the rear end would shift to the right about 3 feet. When it got wet, I walked. He bought it for 2100 bucks though. It has been tossed around the members of hachi-roku.net for a while now.

I'm pretty sure this is the same car, specs sound exactly the same. but unfortunately I can't find any pics of it. Wouldnt matter too much anyway because it is one ugly looking drift *****. (canned black, dents and scratches...)

you dont really add anything constructive to the conversation at hand, or when you comment on something it seems like it interrupts the "flow" of the thread because it is either repeating something someone has already said or does not take the entire thread into account.

thats classic post whoring and it rubs everyone the wrong way as you have probably noticed. if you are just trying to up your post count for some reason, consider saying something worthwhile.

yes, because all the "o.g's" have earned their post counts with well thought out and enlightening conversation and reasoning. give it a rest FOR **** SAKES. he is doing nothing wrong...hell I've seen YOU whore worse than he has... and if he is you might want to have a chat with everyone else on this forum, all I see is "post whoring". Is there a rule about having conversation on this forum? No there isn't. If there were, you would not see the <>^ thread or the learn'd thread. Notice you never see an admin take action against these "post whores", all you ever see is righteous windbags without the common decency to shut up.

Sorry to crap your thread new cressie guy, but some other guys have some odd thought processes about right and wrong.

dude, you know what im talking about.

read coreys credit card thread, he tells corey to get a lawyer (which iirc was decided in the first few posts) twice in a row with 2 different threads and doesnt contribute a damn thing other than that.

he could have at least talked some **** like that other failure canadian guy did.

i mention it because i have seen other people respond to his posts the same way. he can consider this free advice: ****ting on people's threads with comments like that are a fast way to become another nala, otto or hey - maybe even make his own name infamous!

i see: lack of intro, no car, bunch of random bs posts.

this tells me: we will be seeing a new 240sx in the near future.

d!ck- when everything has already been said that i want to say, whats wrong with just agreeing with them. he had been told to get a lawer, and i agreeed to i made the same suggestion. and i dont care about how many posts i have. im not post whoring. im doing alot of reading and quick responding. i have given several threads very well thought out repsonses but you seem to only see my quicktime repsonses.
