Mx73 cressida - the rolling lounge room

[Javal]

ding ding. I'd suggest using xT13x strut if you do coilovers. Big stub axle, still has 4x114.3 hubs. C/P/H brakes for a cheap upgrade. Takes AE86 steering arm.

Nothing wrong with the mx73 strut... Has larger stub like st141, better factory calliper mount that will only need an adapter bracket.
It's all cast and a good 10 mm thick.
Already got XM extra lock knuckles.
Can run BA falcon rotor and R33 gtst caliper for cheap brakes.. But it ruins your wheel choice because the calliper pokes a good 30mm past the rotor hat.

It will get Wilwood 2 piece rotors and 6 pots up front and 4 down the back because I have a small cock!

When time comes I'll just make my own coilovers, easy job really.

Just don't want to loose the cressida comfort
Soft rates and good shocks should do it.

1st go at tig welding this arvo.
Cheapo inverter scratch start. Pretty happy for 1st attempt.

1.6mm mild steel 3" exhaust





Also modded PS fittings - 5m ps pump is on drivers side, 1j is on pax side .

On the right is the banjo for JZ ps pump, left is a section cut from the mx73 ps hi pressure line.
Screw on fittings to fit up new hi pressure line.

I can respect this little progress, it's all of this fiddly litte crap that takes all of the time, can't wait to see it done bro

Heaps of fiddly stuff going on for sure .

Tranny cooler lines are right to go, soldered on some new fittings and re bent one from 90 to 45.

Crimping wasn't necessary but cost was same as a push on, so it's piece of mind.

Here we go.

Not totally finished but you get the idea
