The Toyota Cressida

2010-09-21T11:47:00.000-07:00

As i mentioned in my previous Entry I am doing a small lesson on 4 Door Drift cars, but more specifically my favorite 4 door. The Cressida

The Toyota Cressida is, well a boring car to look at in stock form. Actually it looks like a Toyota Camry and is most often thought of as a FWD Box on Wheels. You would be wrong to assume this. This car is actually, according to some people, a "4 Door Supra."

Why though? for one, the car is RWD, not FWD, secondly, the engine and transmission(Yes, Cressida's came in manual) are lifted straight out of the legendary Toyota Supra. The 5m-Ge and the 7m-Ge.

So basically, it's the Gentleman's car by day, and a Honda head hunter by night. Back in the 1980's these cars hauled on the highway and were very technologically advanced(digital speedo's, climate control, etc.)

Drifter's now are discovering the hidden gem about these cars. The JDM counter-part to the Cressida came from the factory with a 1JZ-GTE, and yes, the USDM Cressida can be fitted with a 1J quite easily. After that, the car just took off. New aero, true coilovers, suspension pieces were ordered on the quick!

And Just like that, the Cressida became what it is known as today, The Gentleman's Daily Drifter

As you can see, i love the Slammed on OEM aero look, that does it for me, but for others, There is aero available from Works9 that makes the car look Jaw-Droppin' in my opinion

Both these cars wear Works9 aero with the Works9 coilover kit as well

The Cressida has come a LONG way since its humble beginnings, and I hope the car keeps gaining popularity

PEACE!

Honda's

2010-09-21T11:41:00.000-07:00

Ok, first off. i LOVE Honda's, especially civic's. They are cool cars, and can look really good without trying too hard

Integra's as well

So, learn to like the Honda's, because they are still a popular tuning base, and will still be EVERYWHERE

GET WITH IT OR GET LOST

Peace

FUUUUUU

SO cool!

Old School vs. New School

2010-09-20T15:31:00.000-07:00

The Germans got it right with the old VW Scirocco that's for sure

Thankfully, they didn't screw up the redesign for the new 2010 Scirocco

So which do you think is best? Old or New?

BMW M Coupe

The Ridox Toyota Supra

2010-09-15T12:20:00.000-07:00

Hello all, welcome to another Car Style Lesson. Now, if you don't know. I do like Supras, I'll admit it. But most Supra owners make me shake my head in disappointment. Most owners will follow these rules.

1. Supra must have MASSIVE amounts of power, I'm talking 600-1200hp easily!
2. Drag Slicks or Drag Radials in the rear
3. Wheel choice usually the same old HRE's, CCW's, or sometimes even Volks(Very rarely does that happen though)
4. Stock ride height or coilovers set at Stock ride height for their "Drag Setup"
5. Stock Body, with the TT Spoiler on or off

and that's it. i promise you, look at Supraforums.com, i guarantee about 95% of the supra's you see follow that formula.

One day, a race car driver by the name of Max Orido decided he wanted his Supra to stand out in the crowd. So he created his very own aero using his company Ridox. What he ended up creating was a 600hp Fire Spitting machine, that would not only blow the doors off of anything on the street(the Supra was his Daily) but look good doing it.

This, in my opinion is the BEST kit you can get for your Supra. i plan to one day build Supra like this before i die lol

As you can see, the kit consists of a modded 98+ TT FB with a carbon front lip and canards, Modded OEM sides with carbon add-ons, Front and Rear Overfenders, and a Stock rear 98+ TT bumper with a Carbon Apron, and of course you can't forget the massive GT wing, stock lip spoiler and the carbon rear window spoiler.

So ill, and so nicely exucated! Here are some more pics, the white supra with red stripes is the only i've seen in the US pull off the look almost correctly. The Blue supra is actually Orido's, that's his track machine. the red one is the Daily

Peace!

The RA64 Celica

2010-09-15T12:06:00.000-07:00

This post is mostly directed towards my good friend Freddy, or as you know him RA64Freddy

The RA64 celica is peculiar looking thing, straight from the 80's, ya either LOVE IT or HATE IT, i personally am falling for these things haha
