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.

Actually, the Cressida comes stock LSD,

lol owned. jonathan keep it coming haha

ill keep the cressida for a comfortable daily driver that you can cruise and chill with friends then build the s13 for personal weekend drift car.

BoostSlideWayz · 01-12-2011, 11:53 AM

I personally dont think cressida is a great drift car.. thats why when your at the track in drifting .. its all 240sx.. I dont know the after market parts availability is but 240sx has tons of parts to choose from. I mean any car that is free is worth taking no matter what imo. I would just get it regardless for drift or not. then when you have it .... you can decide if you want both cars or have 2.. Or .. sell it and double your money and get a really nice s13 or 14..

1on1 · 01-12-2011, 12:03 PM

if you do plan on getting the cressida, i recommend you to re-torque the head bolts.

Answers.com - What are the torque specifications for 1991 Toyota Cressida cylinder head bolts

I used to have a x8 as a daily, bought it off a friend who gutted, converted to 5spd w/ r154 tranny, and a weldy. I loved the car but sold it to fund my s14.

s13dan · 01-12-2011, 12:04 PM

2jz no shit? Fuck that, too expensive.

Take the best of both worlds.

SR the Cressida!

senaua · 01-12-2011, 12:24 PM

Get the cressida buy a 1j from jzx90 or aristo 2j, find a r154 tranny or w58. Buy 2j water pump with housing and thermostat, Mk3 pedal set, pay someone for the wiring, s13 coilovers, welded diff and be done with it. oh custom drive shaft.

TwoHarbors240 · 01-12-2011, 01:01 PM

Just like others have said, if you can get the Cressida for free, use that as a daily, maybe throw some money at it here and there. Then buy a 240 and use that as your drift/race car

skizsystem · 01-12-2011, 01:01 PM

honestly i would go cressida but pretty much everyone here has a point on the availibilty of parts, but i go drifting with a good friend of mine alot in his cressida and that thing is badass. i mean it already has a stock dif and i believe the one your grandpa is offering you has a 7m like my buddies (his finally blew up after pushing it all the way to 260XXX) all you need is a trans and your set. also theres a few GTR parts that fit on the car, for example my friend has r33 tein coilovers in the back and he welded on a matching set for the front. apparently r33 calipers fit on the car also. i could go on and on... but if you realy need parts for a cressida check out serial 9 thats all they make

Dee · 01-12-2011, 01:21 PM

BustedS13 · 01-12-2011, 02:29 PM

if you are trying to decide between a cheap fun car and a fuckbusted boring hideous family sedan, you should probably get the fuckbusted boring hideous family sedan

Toyota Cressida. Because you don't know better.

Thanks for all the ideas guys I guess its up to me now. Fab work wont be a problem for me, and I already have an xterra as a DD. So I am just gonna have to make up my mind

Thanks for the help and input

OBEEWON · 01-12-2011, 03:54 PM

Cressida is the worst DD ever. Gas mileage of a V8 with the power of a Toyota Echo. Good trunk space though.

rweezly_s13 · 01-12-2011, 04:03 PM

can't go wrong wit a cressida

illvialuver · 01-12-2011, 04:13 PM

if you have to ask you probabaly should not be doing either. Sorry for being an asshole. Honestly , if you want the best advice take the cresida, put it up for sale before the headgasket blows, ( because they alllll do) and use that money for your 13.

Iron_Zenki · 01-12-2011, 05:21 PM

Neither!........

iamtheyi · 01-12-2011, 05:58 PM

lol I'd take the cressida to be a G

Aki180sx · 01-12-2011, 06:38 PM

Buy the cressida then join a toyota forum and let them make the rest of your decisions for you that you cant make on your own.

!!chuy!! · 01-12-2011, 07:12 PM

get free cressida.
buy s13.
decided witch is dd, or interchange day after day....hahah or just sooop both of them up.... cressida= jz
s13 = sr,rb,ca.....blah blah blah...
both equal lots of FUN!!!!
cheerz

SlideKing92 · 01-12-2011, 07:29 PM

Thanks for the input guys, I think I am gonna take the cressida and if a 240 pops up cheap I will grab that too since I love them. I have done 4 SR swaps and built a couple 240s in the past I think its time to try a different car to work on.

Thanks for everyone who helped out

BTW the only reason I sold my last 240 was to fund the redoing of my garage and getting new equipment in there

Thanks again

My friends a cress head he says the stock headgasket is garbage but once you upgrade to a HKS headgasket supposedly that won't be a problem anymore.
