240 or Cressida?

[SlideKing92]

Hey guys so about a year ago I had to sell my s13, now I have money again and want to get back into drifting and just got offered my grandfathers cressida in really nice shape. I loved my s13 and I cant decide if I should get another one, or take a free Cressida and put the money I was going to buy another s13 with, into the cressida. Since this is zilvia its all about 240s and like I said i loved my s13, but a free cressida is a free cressida. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

the toyota will still cost more in th long run cause there is not to much after market parts you can just buy

[phobs]

Buy the S13, I'll take your gramp's free cressida

Lock thread in 3..2..1...

[SlideKing92]

If I posted in the wrong section thats my bad and go ahead and lock it, but I dont see a problem since my question thread is no different then the guy asking if he should get a cage, or re do his interior in the "Naked or Dressed" thread in this same Chat section...


And yeah I have been looking into it, there is not really much aftermarket support for the cressida, that is the only thing that concerns me.

[dontxploitme]

take the cressida and sell it to fund your s13. or get an s14. what year cressida btw?

[SlideKing92]

Its a 1990 Cressida so its a X8

[dontxploitme]

well x8's would be the best cressida choice for drifting. parts are gonna run you dry though. s13 will be alot cheaper and easier to work with and x8 will be more unique. that's a tough one lol

[sr20sean]

id pick the cressida personally.

[SlideKing92]

Thats exactly what I think to, the cressida is a more unique lesser seen drift car. Which is one of the things I like about it.

[Sumslapper]

I think you already know which one you want. I would do the cressida personally. Ya less aftermarket support but you will be unique. You will be "that one guy with the cressida."

[Slammed Assassin]

get both DD the cressida, and build/track the s13

[doomviillain]

id go with an s13 since I like the look alot better than the cressida but everyones different. If its gonna be a drift car go with the cressida. look more into the aftermarket parts tho cuz ur gonna need some if ur gonna drift

[shanes14]

4 doors is way more spare tire space in the back seat and trunk lol. my friend just got a cressida. it looks like a cool project, but from what i hear it takes actual fab work to modify it instead of just bolting on everything like in a s13

trade u some parts for the cress to get ur s13 going, lmk

[OBEEWON]

At 20 the S13 is the best choice by far. Shortest distance to max seat time and least money spent is S13.

[nathanong87]

pick the one that isn't a cressida.

[Rag]

If you need to ask for advice between a mx83 drift car and a s13 drift car... you obviously don't belong any where near the cressida.

[WIKID S4TEEN]

^^^ Agree. If you had $, drift the cressida.
But looks like you dont', so take the Cressida, sell it.
Buy S13. Unless that would break grandpa's heart???

[tricky_ab]

Others have mentioned it already but I'll say it again. The Cressida will run you wayyy more money in the long run. I'd take the car and sell it to put more money towards a S13 (Or you can just save the added cash for a rainy day fund).

[s14freak93901]

Cressida's are awesome cars but they lack the aftermarket support here in the states. S13 would be a better choice.

s14 GG

cressida!!!!!! do it

I highly doubt you have what it takes to build an x8, so just go with an s chassis. i hate seeing clean luxury cars turned into POS "drift missiles" because they couldn't afford to build it properly or just lack the common sense to it right.

All these bandwagon kids are blinded by the whole 4 door drifting idea and forget what makes the cressida so rad.

as it's been stated if you take the cressida just maintain it and use it as a daily. Build the s chassis and be happy.

imagine the smile you will put on your grandfather's face the moment you slap on your very first angled OPTION sticker

if it's a 5spd cressida i would take the cressida personally.

people here don't have any clue about cressida's.

i would make the cressida a 1jzgte project (1jz will swap right in with the right wiring).
no coilovers except megan racing? not a problem, there are adaptor kits for cressidas to put on coilovers from other companies such as stance.

differential? okay i'll admit, if you want an lsd from a supra you would have to swap the whole rear end pretty much.

there's options. and hey, you'll have a cooler car than an s13 when it's done.

DD the cressi, build the s13.

I guess you don't either since x8's never came 5 speed from the factory in the US. i highly doubt his grandfather would modify that car in any way.

"no coilovers except Megan Racing" hah. BC makes coilovers for that chassis as well. why would you need adapters to run stance when a company already produced stance coilovers specifically for the x8 chassis?
