As much as I loved my cressida it was time for her to go <img src="http://jzxproject.com/bbs/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> she's been though a few to many wall hits and crunches.

while I did pick up a x8 shell for more r&d work the majority of the money I got selling my baby went to a x90 chaser which got stuck in customs :\

But because I have the BEST importer ever the gx90 that got stuck was replaced with this! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

[CelicaDRIFTER]

awesome!

i think g-speed here in SoCal has a jzx90 markII coming in soon.

although they have a r32 4dr too.

[lonelywanderer]

nice, what i would do to get one of these....

[aphxero]

cool shit man. Gonna get it rege'd?

[driftaholic]

yesir it will be legit

[Gseventythree]

Let me know if you need solid diff and subframe bushings. . I have those for sale. . . Check Mats's thread.. hes got em already. .

I also have a few other things laying around for X9's (mark II). brand new exhaust (ss straight small N1 can), Cusco cage, extra doors. . .

G.

[driftaholic]

Awesome! I will do.

[ameenit]

SSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICKKKK

[driftaholic]

Thanks for naming the project mods

[Raceready68]

Nice project thats odd to see a JDM car with coils in it and not slammed in Japan. Or did they raise them up for shipping ?

[Mats]

Nice dude!!!!! And yes chances are you will need to replace your subframe and diff bushings as they are super weak from factory. I got some made by G last week and i'm going to install them tonight. Check my build thread for updates late tonight about teh install! Again big thanks to G and Serial Nine!

[driftaholic]

It doesn't surprise me as my x8 bushings lasted 2 events before they shelled

[driftaholic]

So we left to get the car sat night at 8pm, driving straight to the importer, sleeping for 3hrs in the parking lot to wait for them to open. Got back Sunday night at 9pm on 3 hours of sleep and proceeded to put her together.

She started up at 5:30am Monday morning. I got some sleep and finished her off tonight. It's funny that nobody even looks twice at the car. Special thanks to Chip for going to get her with his truck!

now for pics in no particular order:

[rayray]

ohlins huh? dope!

and i think the x9 like the x8's just don't scream look at me like the newer x100+, hence the lack of attentions.

car looks to be pretty clean, good luck with it

[brian]

now that you finally have one, what do you think of it?

[Mats]

nice Camry dude! lol jj



so how does it drive? comfy eh?

[driftaholic]

Damn straight Olhins! saves me tons of money on on the build. I wouldn't be able to buy better!

My favorite part of the car is that "Japan smell" every time I get in her. I hope it never wears off

She drives amazing. I try to step it out on occasion and forget to turn off the traction control haha but the tcs will be nice for drag and grip.

here is a quick shoot this morning at work:

















How to build a BETTER rat trap.

^ Pix in last post don't work, but nice x90...i remember riding in one a while ago, so comfy
