New Parts

I got a few new parts, my car needs an alignment bad and I go through tires under regular driving monthly. Getting tired of buying junk tires all the time I finally invested in some suspension that would help me adjust my alignments. On another note, my clutch has been slipping, so I picked up one for really cheap for $160. Also for those who do not know, the S14/15 SR20DE (maybe DET too) uses the VQ oil filter, when you go to look for one, VQ35DE uses the same one, aka G35/350z.

New Parts

- Stage 4 6 Puck clutch

- Front Tension Rods

- Rear Upper Control Arms

- Rear Traction Links

- Rear Toe Links

- Spacers

Pictures of progress will soon to follow.

After I get all the stance correct and suspension dialed in, it's time for paint and boost. Eventually this car will have streetable daily & reliable boost power. It's been a while since I've updated but I'm coming near to the end of things to buy list, I keep forgetting what I need so I have to keep writing it down. I don't care for 5 lug and all that jazz, would be nice but not my priority.

Next on the list

- Optima Battery

- Fix headlight wiring issue

- New tires

- OEM replacement ebrake cable

- New pads

- S13 Tein inner tie rods

- S14 OEM outer tie rod ends

- Paint

- Extend exhaust

- KAAZ 2 way or 1.5 way

- Boost

- Q45 front brakes & rotors

need bumper support-age for my ghetto sil front. maybe one of these upcoming weekends..

Facelift (face sag?)

This car is a lot of trouble. I still have lots to fix on it relating to electrical issues. I moved the front driver harness higher up on the frame (so much you can kinda see it bulging in the driver fender, temporary fix for sure. Blew two 75Amp fuses over two weeks, multiple 15Amp fuses for brakelights and headlight fuses. I have a major grounding issue somewhere. Sunova... Stupid car.

In other news, please do not drive while texting or drive while sleeping. My good friend jon lost hsi car because he was sleepy at the wheel, really shitty situation, I am glad he is ok and unscathed but please be sure not to drive tired. Also please do not text while driving, it is very much worse than a DUI.

Tail lights. Rear roof spoiler.

- Origin Crystal Tails (Smoked)
- S13 Coupe rear roof spoiler


Then sil front? Paint? More suspension? Power? Who knows.

Cressida out.

Well the p/s was leaking and then last night the radiator exploded, I let it cool down and topped off the radiator and just drove it somewhere for my friend to pick the car up. As nice as it was, can't achieve efficiency with 200~280 miles to an 18 gallon tank of gas and higher insurance than my crappy 240. Time to find a civic...

New Daily.

1988 Toyota Cressida

Mileage: ~117k
Owners: 3 (I am third owner)
Interior: Like-new (sickening like off the showroom floor and driven for 3 months condition).
Exterior: Excellent overall, has a few very small surface rust spots, but can be fixed.
Mechanical: Automatic. Everything seems to be decent, steering wheel feels heavy at times, I noticed it leaking PS fluid last night (hope the rack isn't leaking). AC blows cold but Low/Medium settings don't work, must stay on high. Radiator looks like it may need to be replaced (top of the rad is turning brown, losing paint). AC fan in front of the radiator (I assume?) does not turn on, this could possibly be part of the AC problem? Insight anyone?

Forza 2 / XBOX Live

So I picked up a XBoX360 again after not having one for like 3 years. If you have one, add me. My name is Mkei. I don't have too many games as I am only interested in very specific ones. I plan to pick up BlazBlue and Street Fighter IV with a MadCatz arcade stick soon.

Current Game List
- Blue Dragon
- Fable II
- Forza 2
- TNMT (1989 Arcade version)

My roomie has Left4Dead, Orange box, and a few other games to mention so just let me know if you want to play something! Be sure to tell me who you are in a message so I know, haha.

Take care.

Laundry list of "fixes" needed.

Well, after fixing everything that was obviously needing a fix, a few more things I'm adding to the list of do-want parts and random happenings in this order somewhat...this is all under the assumption that nothing breaks or gives out between now and whenever said time.

- Rear aero
- Working AC (Blazing summer heat, FML)
- DMAX vented fiberglass hood
- Origin crystal tails (with a suprise)
- RUCAS
- Solid subframe bushings
- Tension Rods
- Tie rods
- Competition Clutch (Stage 4/6 puck)
- Toe rods
- Traction rods
- 25mm spacers
- New tires
- New paint
- New front windshield
- Steering wheel
- Walbro 255 fuel pump
- Brake upgrade
- Bucket seat (non recliner)
- Power (Turbo boost goal: 250~260whp)
- Clutch type 1.5 way or 2 way LSD

I am speechless.

Seriously, this is hilarious.

cleaning. spraying.

I was bored Friday. Spray painted things. Cleaned the garage up. Kicked the car.

bored.

I was bored. I bought one can of white satin primer, fluorescent ultra retarded bright pink, and satin clear. Apply some coats of each, see pictures for results. Did not care about the dust in the air, they're SE slapper slide wheels for sakes. Hahhaa.

Fixed, sorta.

Well. I fixed the headlight. Kinda. Still needs hammering to be perfect, it goes up and down and works for now, but needs to be held in more secure. Hammered those nasty rails inward in the fender wells, but still need to re-route my harness on the driver's side if i'm ever to reach flush status. Sideskirts are on now...paint maybe next month? We'll see what's in store...


Thanks Alex for the jack, and James for the toolbox.

Current.

Added:
- Engine Temp (now works)
- DMax Coilovers
- Work Emotion CR Kai (17x8 +32 offset)
