I picked this cressida up in march and drove it around for a while occasionally beating on it and the a304e began to hate me and forget how to shift. I was completly fine with that figured i would do a w58 swap WRONG drove it with the shitty trans for alittle while longer and the headgasket went i wasnt suprised figured alright well i will just do the headgasket WRONG. Drove it a total of maybe 4 times after the headgasket started to go and now i have rod knock so what does that mean?? IT'S JZ TIME!!!!!!

Here is a pic of how i drove the car everyday:


Here is a picture of the motor i picked up all cleaned up on a stand looking pretty:

its a jzx90 motor set internals were really clean when i pulled everything open and i got it for a really good price the only thing was that it had the shifter extention good thing i had a supra r154 back housing and shifter laying around

Here is all the cool stuff i payed too much for from driftmotion lol:

timing belt, 2jz waterpump setup, front & rear main seals, metal pcv valve, those cool pullies, clutch line, ps line and some other good stuff.

Thats all the pictures for now i will update as progress continues i still have alot of stuff to do like get the harness done, get a ypipe downpipe setup for the twins, intercooler setup, put all the pedal stuff for the 5speed in beat the tunnel yay!!!!

damn I want those wheels.
What are the dimensions?

they are avs model 6 they are 16x8 +11

[lucas]

they are only 16's? They look larger for some reason. I've always wanted some of the model 6's as drift spares in 17/18x9

[bwcress]

They are really hard to come by in larger sizes im only ever seen a few sets for sale but they are a sick wheel

More cell phone pics! so i left the 7m on the floor in the garage that night and apparently the jz came down off the stand and finished it off because i got to my garage in the morning and the 7m was bleeding all over my floor lol

Put the trans and whatnot on the jz:

Changed the rear main seal and put the clutch and all that good stuff together

lined everything up and she fell right in:

Beat the tunnel the firewall all that good stuff im using the excessive engineering brackets they are the shizznit shifter sits dead center!

Got bored and grabbed another bay shot:


Ive got a few more pics but i beez hungry i will post them up later

[bwcress]

Came back the day after fitting the jz to do all the little things

Did the clutch master and pedal:

Even with that setup it still fits like doodie but whatever lol


I like the way the pedals sit i had to bend the clutch pedal arm

Power steering:

I love this figured out the stock res can be bolted to the tower on the other side and i was actually really happy about that im into the stockish kinda look lol

Interior:

Bubble shifter FTMFW!!!

That is all for today.
