Hey,
Im new here and just wanted to make little build thread
Name: Sam
Where your from: Auckland, Northshore
What you do:School xD
Car you own:1988 cressida mx73
Mods and future plans: Coil overs, roofspoiler, boso straight through of some description 1jz/2jz...! hopefully
Next car you want to buy: not sure :/
Why you joined JZX NZ: Met PowderJZX very cool dude and invited me and happily accepted
So my story begins on my birthday when I purchased my first toyota, car was in mint condition and regularly serviced.
1988 Toyota cressida, 2.8L 5m-e fully standard
When I brought her home she sat like this
High as f@#k, Few week ends later and the springs meet mr. angle grinder
Starting to look good she soon looked like this,
Added my boso ring i got off trademe for style points
Car was finished in time to get featured in NZ performance mag
ahaha photo bomb, car styles
Nostagic hero meet came up, so i chucked on my mates watanabes,
And another boso ring for +1 style and we cruized out there in.
First proper time taking the cressy to a meet, got some publicity which was cool
Was going to sell for various reasons, you may have seen on trademe, with the help of PowderJZX and the love for my cressida iv been persuaded to keep would be hard to see her go!
I am saving and planning to do a 1jzge swap! It going to be a hard task for me as iv never done a swap before and dont have a garage!!! but will be well worth it, the fun in the rain will be priceless
I look forward to meeting more of you guys and talking some shit about our cars
