As most of you know, the VR was written off so I used the insurance money to by this car. It was a trade-in at work so picked it up for a good price with only 168xxxkm. One owner before me for its lifetime (18 years) so was well looked after. Has a few minor scratches, but overall I like it.

Not looking to spend much money, just looking to get it running 100% and as fuel efficient as possible. Will sell it in a years time to make way for either an SS or xr6t.

7m represent!

have the headbolts been retorqed?

the 7m had a big design flaw, almost all factory headgaskets fail. toyota swapped the headgasket material at the last minute and didnt revise the torque setting. ive got a picture of what happens.
its a good preventative step to retorque the headbolts up to about 70-75ft/lb should elimate any future issues

clean looking car tho mate! should drop a 7m-GTE in it, alot more fun than n/a

i always said if i bend my supra ill put my motor in a cressida (ultimate sleeper)

[old mate]

cressidas are the bomb, make killer sleepers. i'm going to have one as a daily when i get off my p's with a 1jz. fun without the attention would be ace.

you get alot of stuff for your money in cressidas.

[fkford]

my old man has a toyota crown which is pretty much a cressida just all the luxo options.. power everything etc.. so nice and comfy to drive and would be the ultimate sleeper if turbo'd..

Heres my old toy
2JZ-GTE
Wish i never sold it

[PaRaDoX]

cool 2jz cressida! 2j's arnt that cheap tho and lots of conversion work to make it go..


I reckon he should make it fast perfect grandpa sleeper

[D3CID3R]

from start to finish including buying car, Aristo front cut, gearbox, turbo's, pipe fab work and materials, tuning, ECU etc. was around 40k

[nathg]

Yeah they are a really good car. Great value for what factory features you get and really comfy to drive. Not really down on the power either. Just a bit sluggish compared to the old VR off the mark.

Got tint done today, very pleased with it. Decided with 15%. Can only just see in, and if I have any trouble, i can just pop the sunroof to let more light in
Next will be a speak upgrade, and if funds permit, just some cheapish king springs to lower her a tad.

[nathg]

its all good that u wanna show off your toyota man i know that cressidas are a THE Cadillac of toyotas but the website is called JUSTCOMMODORES.COM.AU not COMMODORES&SOMERICEBURNERS.COM.AU

Seriously, to put you back in the kennel you limped out from, this thread has been posted in the Miscellaneous section.. I see you have only been a member here for what, not even a month! Lets see how long you last with comments like that.


Verynice, thanks I try and keep it as clean as I can, vacuum the interior and wash the outside once a week

Heres a new pic aswell, not the best quality, but meh.. Don't think I've put one up here with the foggies I installed.

On top of that, he drives a berlina. Technically not even a commodore LOL So he should have typed. "COMMODORES&BERLINAS&SOMERICEBURNERS.COM.AU"

......Sorry bad joke...

On topic: Damn that dash has alot of buttons lol. I would smash the car trying to work out what one i wanted to push. That or I would pull over... :P

always one wanker to make us look bad, must be school holidays again

[jw.pfitzner]

i didnt rip on his cressida so what are u talkin about how long i last with comments like that i complimented it if anything? and arent berlinas callais executives acclaims all just commodores with different interiors?? how did i make yous look bad, i went to buy a cressida for my first car like i said, Cadillac of Toyotas, i had big plans for it but i didnt have the cash i unfortunately dropped out of school two years ago, makes it hard to get a decent job

[nathg]

I have re-read your first comment like 5 times, still I cannot find anything positive out of it that would be a compliment..Thankyou for your time however

[jw.pfitzner]

Cadillac? anyway i apologise if anyones taken offense to it i meant well, i dont need people not likin me on this website i quite like it haha

[nathg]

Saying my car is like a Cadillac does not make a compliment, nor does referring to it as a ricer. Want to be liked? Quit now, and stop digging your grave

[jw.pfitzner]

yeah rito but how is a toyota being called a caddie not a compliment, ill stop now haha

[1998GTS]

Nice cressida mate.please keep it stock.Think you'll be surpised what you'll get for it when it's time to sell.This is the mint 84 starlet i picked up.one lady owner with only 25,000k's on the clock.yeah that's right 25,000.Got it for $1500 and have already been offered 7 grand for it.

[nathg]

Yeah only plan to keep it in mechanically good condition as it already is. I'll be chasing above 3g for it when it comes times to sell.

[tim005]

overnight parts from japan!
this definitely has potential for an uber rad sleeper.
