Forum Drifter
I figured I would put this here. Anyways, me and my friend Jesse recently purchased a 1986 Toyota Cressida to turn into a drift car. We are putting in a Lexuz 1uzfe V-8 all aluminum quad cam engine. Hoping for around 300rwhp at first, then upgrading. We are documenting this as a budget build up. We have a sponsor though who is giving us a discount on the engine and transmission. Anway, here are some updates that have occured over the past month or so:
First up, the engine. Of course, this engine is going bye-bye, but it still deserves pictures. Have to use a stick (in our case a piece of hardwood floor) to prop up the hood. The stick came with the car though so that's a plus

The emblem, which I think is bad-ass looking:

Jesse went down to a Toyota place and snagged a lip spoiler for the Cressida. Well, he actually took the whole trunk, but that works. It's all getting repainted anyway. And now we have a spare trunk

It has been cleaned since these pictures lol.
Now the Cressida is ready to be torn apart with no mercy. She will eat your children in their sleep. Beware, the Cressy.
