View Full Version : The Cressida on Daily Duties [mx73]

5th August 2013, 09:53 PM
Just a quick snippet of my daily that I've owned for a little over a year, my mx73 glx-i, she's got a big bad 5m twin cam auto and a cluncky diff, does mad single pegger's.
I've swapped the front end for the cresta gear with the quad lights and corner lights, jdm crown fender mirrors, matching jdm cresta front foggie bumper which I still have to paint and fit as well as the chin spoiler that I made ;) I've whacked on the old 86 wheels, 15x8 +/-0 with 185/55/15's all around, cut springs and a busted rear wheel bearing make for a super smooth but stylish ride ;)
I'd love to swap in a 1uzfe and Wseries plus Fseries diff for a solid daily/tow rig so maybe oneday when I acquire a shit ton of money it'll become properly cool, but for now she's a great ride :)

What are the wheel specs?
Could you go wider/more offset with stock or just rolled guards?
and what the old 5M like on fuel?

We cut the front off of a poor cressida at the wreckers today, in the pouring rain, with a hammer, chisel and a hacksaw. Much fun was had. So now i can start cutting up my car and make it looking beautiful again! ^_^

Headlights and corners are from jp through mr streeter and the front bar was a lucky find in aus, one of the few here i believe

I bought some shiny bits for this car last week. Also tidied up the front a little, probably not very noticeable but makes me happy.
