I think posting articles is easier withh a forum, so thats why I made this. My content manager is a bitch, so expect updates here. Anyway, I don't expect much conversation -- please chat away at www.toyotacressida.com -- i just wanted a place for easier feedback on Cressidas and what I am doing withh mine. Thanks.

mark ii got some fresh air last night. now that i live in the sticks, it gets super dusty really fast. i bought a oem mark ii roof spoiler for a lot of money because i always wanted one. also swapped the panasports from the cressida on it. i think it looks way better, restoring those SSRs was a mistake. they're just ugly.

3 ton. it's the 450 series. get it right.

Got AEM stuff for it. 506, 5" display, sensors, harness. 2JZ unlocked.

So I gave this car to Gerald for free, and he put a ton of time and money into it and I bought it back so he could buy a Supra. Now I'm slowly making it my own. 2jz-gte, single turbo, r154 the usual stuff.

After 50+ years of production, the X chassis is finally being cancelled. https://global.toyota/jp/newsroom/toyota/27847378.html

For anyone here or searching on google wanting to put a JZX100 1JZ VVTi in a IS300 you need to swap the oil pan from the stock 2JZ to the 1JZ for it to clear the crossmember. You also need to swap the oil pickups as well for it to align with the more forward and deeper sump of the IS300 2JZ. I am not sure if you need to do this with a JZX110 1JZ because I am sure they are very similar to IS300 being the chassis are nearly identical. IS300 2JZ left, JZX100 1JZ right JZX100 1JZ top, IS300 2JZ bottom

or "it's just a Cressida"

$300 later. these badges were not easy to find.

go on...

so the goal for the engine is basically keep it looking as near stock as possible but do around 400 wheel. still trying to decide on what standalone to go with. ecumaster, aem, link or haltech.

speaking of kids slowing down builds, the most exciting thing for the car lately is finding all the original rear badges. paid $200 for these.

congrats! house looks awesome. i know those repairs all to well, my standalone purchase turned into a new water heater this weekend.

Well to be honest; one thing does happen when you have kids... you start to like them. This changes you dynamically. Sometimes it enhances your other interests, sometimes it distracts you. But one thing for sure is, you will have as much passion for them as you do for any of your hobbies. For a man, it takes more time, but one day you'll be in the garage and the urge to play with your son is as strong as the urge to finish whatever thing you're working on. Hopefully they grow up liking what you like.

gordo dumb af lol bruh ina report dis fuck u fr.

working harder > selling shit you love. i feel one of the most important things you can pass down to your kids is your passion. these lifeless zombies these welfare abusers are pumping out have no interests and no hope. they scare the shit out of me and will probably be the undoing of this place. so keeping your car and projects is more nobal and far more important to the wellbeing of your children then selling for a few thousand dollars that will just solve a couple months of problems.

why do i have to sell just because i have a new kid again? confused on that one @Jason.

i should be fine since i never drive the car.

oh when he said CT i thought it was Toyota CT, he meant Comp Turbo.

@rayray

i’ll know when i install these. the pair in the car now are 27 years old and work just fine, so there’s that.

maybe next time

speaking of small turbos, mine finally came in. thanks @Demesio and comp turbo.

@LUMBERZACK not the same blacks on both the LS and ES. ES used a different grey too. 24S combo (205/180) was only used on the 91-92 JZX81 2.5GTs.
