Here is my semi old school ride a 89 Toyota Cressida. This is my DD/Project car. This is a 5 year project but main thing is to yank out the 7m, and drop in a 2jz.. Click pictures to enlarge unless someone knows how to make them bigger..

It'd be better with the 2JZ anyway. Later, QD.

Reliability of a Japanese engine even better. Plus keeping it all Toyota, lolol. Later, QD.

LS motors are reliable as hailllllllllllllll.

But I agree 2JZ just because V8 swaps are boring to me.

UPDATE I picked up some Autostrada Modena wheels 17x8.5 +18 and some 17x9.5 +28. I going to restore them then stretch some 245 on the rears, and 225 on the fronts.. I also picked up some 03 Mitsubishi EVO Recaros seats. Got my mounts from RIP Garage this will make my 2JZ swap easier... Pics will be up soon..

Thanx.. My seats are at Tengs

I told Sherman to keep some used 225 and 245 40 17 so I can test fit it on the car. I want to make sure that is the size I will need.

I'm with QD. They add a decidedly "90's" look to the car, and not necessarily a good one.

Yep they sure did, I used some thinner and cleaned the tint off.. I can not afford to be bored again....
