SEEN88 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Discussion here So my 910 Bluebird is going up for sale as soon as it's fixed (Dad reversed into it with a Mazda BT50), and I have replaced it with this, a 1985 GX71 Toyota Cressida. Absolute mint condition, only things that don't work are a couple of interior/dash lights and the power window lock button. Paid $2900 and drove her 400km back from Tauranga on the 1st of July. When I got her, sitting outside my grandparents place in Tirau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Already put my wheels on (Mag & Tyre Direct 'Versus' TE37V replicas). Next is lowering it, as it looks like a tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEEN88 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Just a quick update. Mag and Tyre Direct here in Palmy threaded two wheel nuts, one on each of the front studs. Also, I discovered while the rims have been sitting at Dad's after they came off the Bluebird, one got pretty badly scuffed up. Was annoyed at first, but not worried anymore, and gonna leave it like that for now Went to install the 6x9s I got for my 21st from a friend last weekend, and Dad put a hole in one of them, so he replaced them with some 'Vifa' 150WRMS ones from Jaycar, on clearance at $119. Pretty decent magnets on them, too. Didn't come with speaker covers so stuck the old Pioneer ones on, lol. Also put my head unit and some 4" 40WRMS Response speakers from Jaycar in the front, as I didn't want to cut the door cards up at all, would be a waste with the interior in such good condition. Stuck my old Alpine Type-R sub and Cadence amp in the boot, and that concludes this weekend's updates. Oh, apart from this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Front shocks arrived today, modifed Monroe Corona inserts (unsure of which model, but 70mm shorter stroke, 50mm shorter body than stock). Will get a pic of them when I can. Now just waiting on PowderJZX's contacts for the rest of the shocks and springs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Might have to keep that there permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Just bought a set of front and rear ST205 Celica struts and lowering springs on Trade Me. Gonna use the front springs, and sell off the rest. Once this arrives, I will have everything needed to lower the car. Will just need to cut the rear springs, and maybe the fronts. I may have to ask for assistance with this when the time comes, as I have never cut springs before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 Ok, so the guy wasn't willing to ship the whole lot so I'm buying the front springs shipped for $70. All in all, not complaining, $400 for shocks and springs all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Another small update, just a couple of pics of the planned exhaust. The black splitter is to replace the rear muffler, the victory pipes are removable. I am kind of expecting a little hate for this, but I don't mind.

SEEN88 Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Licence acquired, wheels on car, lowering ASAP (hopefully this weekend), exhaust going on within the next few weeks. FINALLY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Still no low, but on the upside, some filth: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Replaced the rear muffler with a straight pipe, now it's not just an exit near the back wheels. Gonna lower in a few weeks, after I've driven to Auckland and back to visit family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Uh oh! Is anyone in Auckland able to lend me some 4x114.3 wheels to help me sort this? It was for exhaust + stretched tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Car is running like a pack of arseholes. Lifters get incredibly noisy when it's hot, car loses power, idles funny. Bought a new car (JZX90) to drive while I try fix this and lower the car. Then I will be selling it. I'm gonna miss her, but my next old Toyota will not be NZDM.
