*FEELER* FS/FT 1985 Toyota Cressida W/ 1JZ-GTE VVT-i swap. Legitimate...

[JeffSteph108]

Hey Zilvia, You have probably seen this Cressida around a couple times but it just gets better everytime. I traded it off a year ago to a buddy of mine and just traded back like 4-5 months ago. I am putting my Cress up to see what I can get, I just had it built not very long ago, I got it with a na 2jz already swapped in and ended up getting a 1jz from my other buddy and swapping that in.

THOSE OF YOU THAT VIEWED THE POST BEFORE AND SEEN THE CONS SECTION CHECK IT AGAIN!! CAR IS NO LONGER A PROJECT, RUNS PERFECT AT ITS 100% POTENTIAL AND I DRIVE IT DAILY SO SWOOP HER UP!

I AM NOT IN A RUSH TO SELL , CURRENTLY A PERFECT DAILY ! ♡(:

$$$ I would say 10.5k, I've been offered a lil more than that from some folks who admire it. It's an old car but if people can appreciate a nice classic toyota and. No flaming, I'll just ignore it. Just honestly give an input and if it helps me thanks and if not and you don't like it move on to another post.
I'm interested in trades plus cash for nice dailys, daily drifters, subarus, bimmers, mercedes, lexus, toyota, nissan, i like all cars less likely of the fwd though or I'm interested in any straight trades I can possibly take use of or flip. I'm really needing the cash to help my family so anyone interested with cash welcome too. Thanks guys! I have more detailed photos of the build if anyone is really interested. The interior pics are from before but I can take recent photos no problem.

Here's another link to the car, I have a little more pics on there

Hahahaha I did, too. Then I found another pretty good one. Trying hard no to let go of this one but the 'responsibility bug' is telling me to get out of the 'car scene' for a while. Even my wife is telling me to keep it...but not build it. Like that's even a fucking thing lol.

If you ever get that Celica back I might have an S13 with you. This one has all the rare shit I've ever dreamed of. I've been busy hahaha.

Spring break is coming up, hopefully I can get a little extra cash to fix the fuel cut problem by swapping over either jzx100 parts or getting a standalone. Don't know yet but, I do want to fix it for the sale because I want people to really feel the full potential this baby has.. man even being held back by only being able to use like 10% throttle and it being dbw stupid etcs-i laggg plus the stock neutral start switch 4k-5k rpm Rev limit, you can still feel this thing kick in! The intercooler piping is all a one piece piping on both sides plus it's very short, I spool up very quickly around like 3k rpm, and it's on a stock automatic jzx110 ecu tune. The engine is so clean and refreshed to like new condition and is a dream. I just drove it home from work which is like 2 hours away and I enjoyed it that much to share my experience and let y'all know it'll probably get way better. Damn I appreciate this car a lot, I hope when I sell this thing and be able to help my family out that someone will still take very good care of her. She won't let you down, she's very solid. Well goodnight zilvia.. see you on another day! BUMP THIS UP!!

Bump, Luis did first 1jz swap

[JeffSteph108]

Bump, Luis did first 1jz swap
Lol.. Thanks for the bump. But Luis did a 2jz-ge swap before the 1jz-gte vvti swap. This is the first it has seen a 1j..
And to those that are interested the 1j has a lot done to it I have pics and a receipt waiting at slide garage for the labor done to it and a receipt from driftmotion and frsport for the all the parts purchased for whoever picks it up!!

[JeffSteph108]

Bump up, I got offered something really interesting. Most likely meeting Saturday. So if anyone else has an interest in her let me know. Thanks guys

[JeffSteph108]

Bump.. almost off work yess!! Update: Something i noticed for a couple days (nothing big though) it started to seep coolant through the radiator fins which indicate a tiny pinhole. I'm planning to fix it with some radiator sealant because it really isn't that big but it only seeps out on long drives where the coolant is flowing hotter than usual for a period of time but street driving I don't even worry about it. Planned to take it to Spencer from sideways performance this Monday or Tuesday to get things checked for that fuel cut/stock neutral switch Rev limit from the ecu which can literally at the very minimal just be something that isn't wired. I can't find it and I don't want to fry it for trying so I'll have a trusted guy like Spencer check it out for me and for any future buyers or traders. But, never mind all that bs, the car is still driving perfect, starts up every morning, gets me from home to work and school everyday with no hesitations, gets stares from ladies and gentlemen, and never gets dissed, there is a lot of respect for this build. So offer up peeps!! For y'all a price drop to $10k obo and trades [emoji12] thanks guys and have a good evening

[JeffSteph108]

Update : took the car to a professional radiator shop and had them take a look at the small leak. It was a small pinhole in one of the lower coils. He took the radiator out, flushed it out clean, did his magic and the radiator was fixed. No more leak at all and put some fresh Toyota red in there. Boom-bah-clatt... the car now once again has a coolant flush with brand new coolant, I don't even run Temps past 190°f because of the super powerful dual 12 inch Mercedes fans (; and is free from any leaks or future ones.

[JeffSteph108]

Bump. Have a guy who's probably coming from San Juan Capistrano to check her out, I'll see how that goes. Let's see some more offers? [emoji6]

[JeffSteph108]

Bump!!! Car is now fixed. Still retains minor cons but major ones are out of the way! Car is running at its full 100% potential! Runs smooth and Really fast.. check out the post and see what was done. Nothing much but it fixed a whole lot. Car is leak free, rev limit free (revs to redline all gears no problem), and is a perfect daily. Anyone interested hit me up.

[Spencer dougherty]

Good car runs great shifts smooth and pulls hard. Very clean inside & out. Good luck with the sale

Damn dude I admire this build. Been in japan for a few years and fell in love with these big body Toyotas. Had a Chaser X100. Love the 1JZ to death! Wish it was Febuary time, that's when im looking to get into something.

Thanks man! I appreciate it, not much people look at my build that way. Oh wow so lucky man, I would love to go to Japan and especially own one of those jzx/: one day.. haha this is my little cheat to a jzx, I just have to pretend :P The jz is fire man.. never driven a motor this smooth and with a great powerband. Well dude you can check out the car anytime if you're interested, I won't give it up for any trade but the right one. Thanks again -Jeff

[jrdori]

Man I really want this car! damn bump tho pretty dope

[JeffSteph108]

Update.. just put on some 7/32 used tires in the rear. New sizes 215/55-16 better fitment than the 205/55-16s I had on but I feel I can up one more to 225/50-16. Going to replace front tires with fresh new tires 205/55-16 they fit perfect in the front. No need for fresh new tires in the back as they will waste my money hence Welded diff and occasional fun car.
