I'm in Kalamazoo going to school right now but I'm originally from the South Bend/Mishawaka, Indiana area.

Yeah it's a SPEC steel flywheel. I'm pretty sure it's ~19lbs, because the shipping label on it said 20lbs. It's a great flywheel and I love it so far, even though the car hasn't run right since it's been together.

 

Small Update:

 

I've slowly gotten more and more frustrated trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with the car and why it does this:

 

 

On the bright side, I think I figured out that I've been running an early Aristo ECU, which would explain why it is super hard starting and runs pig rich (MAP vs. MAF.) So now I'm trying to track down the right ECU to see if I'm right (which I think I am) and I can finally start driving the damn thing. I still have a few loose ends to tie up wiring wise, the suspension is still blown and at donk status, but at this point I really don't give a fuck, I just want to drive the damn thing. Hopefully I can get everything sorted out before the weather breaks and start getting the puzzled stares and embarrassing stupid ricers in their Civics.

Spring has finally arrived and work has resumed on the beast. First thing's first...it runs...like a champ. All it needed was the right ECU and that was the only problem as to why it ran like complete garbage. I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW IT. Anyway with that being said I've already put around 700 miles on the swap, which I'm currently DDing, and the only thing to go wrong was a cracked coolant line which took all of 20 minutes to fix. Other than that I've had zero problems with the car and I've finally been able to get to know her. And after a few smokey burnouts and cruising around town, I am so happy I chose to build a Cressida. I absolutely love the car. And for what it was meant to be, its a really nice car and is super comfortable, albeit the 3" straight pipe and no sound deadening. But things have quickly evolved over the past few weeks and I'm ready to get this thing drift ready. First up was a new set of rubber:

 

 

225/40/18 Kenda Kaiser KR20's on some 18x9.5 +10 (with adapter) Rota Torques, which used to be on my Subaru but have been donated to the project haha. I'm really excited to try the Kenda's out since I've heard nothing but complete awesomeness from them, especially with how much they smoke.

 

Then some more stuff happened:

 

 

Replaced the rear calipers since they were seized, brake master cylinder, rebuilt the front calipers, hooked up power steering, slammed the bitch (cut the stock front springs, S13 rear springs but all the struts are half blown so Stance's will be the next purchase hopefully within the month), cleaned up some wiring, made a few blockoff plates, yada yada yada. Anyway here's what the engine bay looks like now:

 

 

 

Still a long way to go but it's a lot better than what it used to be. I still need to loom the harness but I'm still not finished running everything the way I want to yet. I've been having too much fun doing brake stands and getting awkward stares as I scream by people spinning the tires at 6k haha. Tonight I finally got to get it out to one of the local meets and it felt really good to finally have everything shaken down and the car running awesome. Adapters for the wheels come in next week, so it shouldn't be too long after that I'll be able to really start seeing what this thing can do sideways. I got a little taste tonight on the way home since it was drizzling and I can hardly wait.
