Hey there Everyone out there!
This is my 1989 Toyota Cressida. Quite a bit of an underdog car, but I can tell you now, if you ever get to drive one, they pack quite a punch.
Mine has only had one major engine mod which was a complete exhaust from the cat back, consisting of 2 1/4" from the cat to the resonator, and 2 1/2" from there to the muffler. Finished off with a nice 3 1/2" Chrome Tip. Nicely lifted a few inches higher than stock giving me extra clearance (Especially since I lowered it almost 3" from the back!).
Future provisions for my car consist of perhaps a 1JZ-GTE engine, commonly installed in performance Cressida's. For those unfamiliar with the 1JZ, it is a 2.5l Twin Turbo motor found commonly in the engine bay of a Toyota Supra. The luxury is, the engine and 5 speed gear box from the Supra's slot straight into the MX-83 Cressida's! Changing the stock 142HP into 194HP! Good, huh?!
BEFORE
Neat looking, but:
No Tint, No Rims, Not Lowered, NO CHARACTER
AFTER
Now it turns heads: "What kinda f**kin' car is that?"
All these cars really need is to be lowered with a nice set of rims. I've had this car for about 4 years and finally got my rims about 2 months ago. These Racing Hart Concept 5 17" rims really compliment the car. What d'ya think?
Couldn't quite afford a good set of Pirelli Tyres, but I settled with a decent set of Kumo 45 series Tyres.
Here you can have a closer look at how the car sits now since I lowered it, with the wheels. Nice, huh?
