Supra's big body brother

[Ofc. Dangle]

Whats up guys name is Shawn most people call me Dangle because of my line of work. I own a 91 Toyota Cressida. Right now the car is undergoing a 1j swap because taaaadaaaa the 7m blew a head gasket. I am doing a minor rebuild on a Soarer 1j, hot tank and decking the block, hone and aligning the crank, high pressure clean and decking the head, new rings, arp headstuds, and all new gaskets and belts and some Denso 550cc injectors. The motor is currently in the machine shop getting the work done. I am going to check out the motor tomorrow actually. The wheels in these photo's are mine but just test fitted to see how much work is going to be needed to make them fit.

I also got this twin scroll manifold for a pretty decent price.

Comments, criticism, or whatever is welcomed.

LOL I knew there would be haters. I love the wheels. They are super rare and awesome sizes they will be fitted on the car in time.

Nice car! Don't like the rims. Pics of the engine bay. Or is it gutted?

 

[dizzuque]

i think the wheels will look good with some proper fitting fender flares. nice ride!

 

[Ofc. Dangle]

The bay is gutted right now because I am awaiting the motor from the machine shop. Just doing some last minute stuff to the motor but still need a tranny, clutch, wastegate, turbo, bov. The list goes on and on. I am leaning towards having a flywheel machine to accept US clutch so I can run a twin disc for considerably cheaper than buying an OS Giken twin disc.

How much does your car weigh? Are they lighter than a supra?

 

[85celicasupra]

Yeah, only way those wheels would be good looking is with some nice fitting fender flares...
