Alright so i wasnt gonna post this thread while it was being built because if nothing worked at then end i didnt wana look like a idiot lol.....

As a project a friend of mine and me were looking into cars to do work to that would be relativley cheap. We decided on a 1985 Toyota Cressida which actually belonged to his grandfather.

Toyota AE-86? Nissan 240SX? Mazda RX-7?

wanted something out of the ordinary, plus it was his grandfathers so he got it for free

 

[kbahl21]

personally im not a fan of the cars look, for me it was for fun, same goes for my friend. we wanted to keep the cost down for the most part. it was more of a learning experience.

[Bignmz04]

are they rwd?

 

[pip]

yup

 

[kbahl21]

We had to go to importer to get the engine

BTW we did a manual swap as well

 

[kbahl21]

yea i wish we got a 2JZ but we would need a few more parts to install that. Those parts costed alot, we made a budget for this project.

The car was worked on at both his beach house and his other house, there was alot of towing involved

SIDETRACKING FOR A MINUTE
Some of the beach house pics:::
he is also the jacka** who won the royal flush rally last year in a toyota pickup that we painted completley in bedliner....we even made a rack out of pvc, installed lights on it, and put a NOS can on the side LOL

M3 didnt know what was coming lol

 

[kbahl21]

BACK TO THE CAR....sorry guys didnt have that many pics of the car being put together but here is what is basically the finished product

THE CLUSTER F*** OF ZIPTIES

Had to make custom bracket so hood would close

 

[kbahl21]

So originally its was running an open downpipe, but the amount of exhaust gasses coming into the car was absolutley ridiculous so we went to American Muffler and just got a huge 3inch pipe running from the downpipe all the way to the back of the car

2) Giant single turbo
