Upgrade_Complete Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hello, About three years ago now, A firend and I were looking for a vehicle for our first attempt at drifting. ^Well after a failed attempt at purchasing someones blown 13B FC. ^We found this little gem ready to go to the scrap yard. Picked her up as a rolling shell for $300, with no engine no trans, and some wiring in the trunk. Picked up a 7MGE out of a MX83 with quite a story behind it, i will probably elaborate later... for $500 Found a W58 for $100 Some wiring and a radiator form an MKIII in a junk yard for $60 and we had ourselves a running driving cressida. It is most likely in for some love this winter, though i have still not completely decided what direction i want to take her power plant wise. Pics of progress. When I picked her up http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/IMAG0653.jpg While she still didn't run I had her in front of a friends house and this happened, I was not amused... http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/IMAG0644.jpg Wiring, Also I have diagrams for an 86 MX73 if someone needs them http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/IMAG0065.jpg Bag of unnecessary wires http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20121209_190610.jpg First Start up (open header, she sounded mean, but my ears hurt so she got stock exhaust out of a junk yard. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/th_20130127_123312.jpg Some engine pics http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130525_203154.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130525_205300.jpg "Interior" pictures http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130326_122448.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130326_122543.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130326_122629.jpg Cleaned up the wiring a bit (It may not look like much but the under hood fuse box is inside now and the driver side kick panel box is now in the middle, I will be running Mega Squirt so before I make it pretty I will get that installed and probably run LS2 Coils) http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130516_225727.jpg Acura RSX Seats http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130326_122647.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130411_152425.jpg Exterior pictures http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20130320_194131.jpg The lowest I have ever had her http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/IMAG0016-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upgrade_Complete Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Took the turd to a dyno day earlier this summer. It for sure runs like poo on the the stock AFM and I cant wait to go to speed density on MS. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/cressida_Dyno.png Finally A friend of mine drifting her and popping a tire. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/th_20130216_211646.jpg A few pictures since it got washed and most of the snow is gone. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20140309_154742.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20140309_155340.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/20140309_174423.jpg I should be getting real suspension under it soon, less sidewall, and more low and I think she will look pretty good. I She is an underpowered, bad suspension, low angle pig but she tries real hard lol. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x52/ghetto-thirdworld/42d0d718-b38c-4451-b337-c4ee89bd34f7.jpg?t=1403308813 Vimeo link (the cressidas very short appearance is at 1:50) http://vimeo.com/98447438 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
