Cressida - tell me bout urs  

sleepercorty

yeh sweet ive got at the moment custom late model corolla/camry steel wheels on the back with 7 inch bands and 50 offset with the 235 tyres, so im thinking that if i get another set made with 8 inch bands and around 55 or more offset i should be able to get the 275 to fit? i need to do something cause the 235's arnt doing to well with the power anymore

pig060

i know you have alot more power then me but the 255 seem pretty good. the thing is how much of the tire is sitting flat on the road when it squats? it might be a good idea to get some off the adjustable bars under the rear to adjust camber to get the whole tire to the ground???

1.5jz cressida

i bought 255/55 or 60/16 mts i got from barrett, they grip up nicely, i just have to get a 50/55 + offest wheel now. but the cressida will be sitting for a couple months, getting catch cans, brakes, ventians and new paint

sleepercorty

yeh you can adjust the rear with the standard arms to give positive camber, mine sitting on the ground has around 1-2 postive camber to compensate for when it squats im also going to get some custom springs done one day that are stiffer then what i have now.
i would of gone to the 255 in a 15 but they are a 27 inch tall tyre where as the 235 and 275 in a 15 are 26 inch tall. so its a toss up between 255 27 inch tall or 275 26 inch tall i would preffer to stay with the 26 tall but

sleepercorty

i was hoping to see you out racing soon, i need someone to give me some insentive to buy a new turbo

BlueKE

Oh yeah, a visor next?

Falcon stylin is it

1.5jz cressida

soon my friend very soon, give it like a month. i need to take the wastegate off, it's stays open on full noise like it siezes open. soon as that's done more boost try and beat your time

1.5jz cressida

nope just the that, why is it falcon stying it? more of a vl calais look..........

sleepercorty

okay sweet i should be due to race again by then if they let me, pig060 might even have his done could have 3 cressidas racing

BlueKE

One cruise in the falcon and you were hooked on the venetian, haha

Roll cages and venetians do go hand in hand, i would put one in mine, but if you want to climb in the back and put it in, schweet

bazr33

G'day guys.

Ended up getting a bit of colour in the engine bay. Have the head back on with some goodies in there.
Then will be off to tune and see if we can max out everything. ohhhyyyeeaahhhh!!! haha to a point.

pig060

looks good dude, that air filter you have off the back of the plenum should have a hose plumed back into your cooler piping? maybe put some on you rocker cover too? let us know how it goes on the dyno?

bazr33

Yeah I had that hose plumbed into my intake, but thought an air filter would of done a similar job.
I have seen a couple of people have done the same sort of thing.

Started the car today, and took it for a quick spin around the block, tappets are a little clickity to start off with but have settled down.
Sounds a tad different now. But will hopefully be getting it tuned very soon, and will see what we can do.

Then will be diff, half shafts, and see what is maxing out after that.

1.5jz cressida

barret looks good mate, take a photo of the whole car for me. Do you still have the work wheels? engine looks good

bazr33

Hope to tune soon, as my idle is a bit ordinary at the moment. Whether vacuum is sacrificed a bit with the cams, or more air in the head.
Sounds a bit angry anyway, and idling around 700-750rpm. Does get a bit low at times though with slight fluctuation.

pig060

bazr33- how did your tuning go?

sleepercorty

anyone entered powercruise? i dont think i will have new turbo or tune by then so probably going to give it a miss this year

bazr33

tuning didn't happen on Tuesday, looking at getting it sorted hopefully over the weekend.

I ended up getting the wolf v500 though with the plug and play harness, so hope to have EFI look at it soon as I get my hands on some id1000 injectors.
I found the injectors on a rails, but more so funds at the moment haha. Hope my tax comes in pretty soon.

But i'll get the safc sorted so I can drive it and enjoy it for the time being. Still hope to have some decent power. Just that the wolf should shit all over it.

will keep ya informed

pig060

yeah the wolf will be heaps better and efi know them backwards should see good numbers. what fuel are you going to run? you could run e85 with the 1000's

bazr33

Don't know a whole lot about the e85, and whether my fuel lines etc have to change to run it?
Knowing me, plus depending on what EFI say, probably will run it.

70RNA

300+rwkw on low boost, no timing

1.5jz cressida

i decided to do an oil change on the night, but silly me forgot the oil pan. Don't i just look like a goose

sicks13

It's a funny way to drain your sump out the side of the block

_Ben

What is everyones thoughts on a cressy for a first car? Any problems with them? I know the 7m has head gasket problems, but anything else?

mark1414

They are auto and not very exciting to drive while stock. Better than a commodore or falcon though!

_Ben

If I was to get one, I would probably just lower it a little on some nice wheels + a stereo, cause IMO they look like they would make a decent cruiser

1.5jz cressida

yeh its easier with it on the side of the sump, not the block

BlueKE

bahaha, the rumours begin

Since its off the road, can i borrow ya CD's, haha

1.5jz cressida

BlueKE
