Getting suspension for an MX73 can be interesting, but the following has gotten big enough that it's a lot easier than it was a couple years ago.

But dont the head gaskets go after about 60K plus. Or you need to tighten them down again??
Thats always why i figured i would just engine swap right away, with a rebuild, and be done.

yeah, usually i see them for 1500 and under here in LA.
ALOT of head gasket issues.
Some really clean ones pop up once in awhile.

AFAIK the reason 7MGTE head gaskets go is because the bolts are under-tightened from the factory, which seems like it'd be easy enough to fix. A lot of people get metal HG's also.

I know a couple people that are running considerable boost on 7MGTEs and they haven't had any HG problems, they just tightened to 75ft/lb.

I'm far from an expert on 7Ms though.

!Zar! · 04-07-2009, 05:05 PM

You're right.

The 7m was just undertorqued from the factory.

Tighten up the head and you're golden.

Getting one this weekend

turbo_dreams · 04-07-2009, 10:08 PM

This thread hits a big sensitive spot. After going through so much crap w/ my s13 i wanted an mx83 for a nice simple daily. So i found myself a MINT 91 cressida, original owner, 88k miles ! Had a bhg and the old suffolk county cop wanted $700...i trailored it home, $100 later on a hg and i had myself a mint cressida, for a week, until the worst motor on earth, the 7m developed rod knock. So i got myself a 2j and attempted to swap it in, got my mx90 mounts, aristo oil pan and threw it in, motor was in, all was well, and i was stuck on wiring. Did the best i could, got the car to crank but wouldnt start and through everything and anything i tried my best but godamnit it wouldnt start. Got pissed and sold that car for 1200 bux to this cressida whizz and he got it started and is now selling it for 2500. W/e, here's some pix

Was a great car to drive for the week that it drove, really comfy, not that horrible on gas, and just felt like a new stock car that was practical which i could trust taking a road trip in. But it was much harder to work on that car in comparison to my s13, made me appretiate my s13 alot more. But i do hope to get another one someday as a daily. Hope i dont fail that time around

As a followup to the vid I posted, Mark wanted me to share his build thread:

Project filthy... Too much camber? When keepin it real goes wrong. - JZXproject

"car is gonna get crazier too," he says.

You can see the license plates on the rear in that pic... Do they match? The sportmaxx's on your car look... better...

they match

the wheels are currently at 18x 9.5 +15 in front
and 18x9.5 +12 in the back
both have stretched 215/40R18

still gotta add more camber the rear to get the procise fitment.

any of you guys with mx's entered in toyota fest??

chokudoriS13 · 04-21-2009, 03:23 PM

Guess I'll bump this thread with my Cressida pics. I'm going back and forth between selling it and dropping an LS1 into it

ZilviaKid · 04-21-2009, 04:43 PM

oh wtf, more pictures!

SexPanda · 04-21-2009, 05:19 PM

LS1 Cressida FTMFW!!!

But the LS1 goes in just about anything with a rear dif... BMW, Mercedes, Honda (LS1 S2000 FTW) Nissan... Dodge, Ford... Yeaaaahhhh.

sb253 · 05-02-2009, 02:08 PM

***FaLKoN240*** · 05-11-2009, 05:33 PM

I got my "new" Cressida last night.

Washed it, changed the steering set up and put my crystal knob on.

Pics will be taken after first claybar, and when I get a rear bumper on it

Needs-

Lower shift bushing

New inner/outer tie rods

Brake pads (and a good bleeding)

Alignment

Rack bushings

AC recharge and belt

Radio

Shifter bezel (have to make a custom one

)

Vision Garage · 05-13-2009, 02:06 AM

Man I was driving cressidas before they even became cool! Shit got stolen every other week. (key cylinders were bad) MEXICANS love to joy ride it. Left them a message to fill up the gas and repark the car and everything was koo again!

***FaLKoN240*** · 05-13-2009, 10:44 PM

It's only going to get better.

I'm getting a custom shorty bumper and R33 wheels eventually.

Car is on S13 custom made stance with R154 5 speed swap.

I recently cleaned the crap out of the interior

Installed HIDs and put a new Alpine deck in it.

Sileighty_DRFT89 · 05-15-2009, 11:47 PM
