Item:

1985 Toyota MX73 Cressida, heavily modified.

Location:

South East QLD

Item Condition:

Modified, Mechanically perfect, Paint and Interior is fantastic for age. Needs a proper tune, bit of dash/door trims cosmetic work.

Reason for Selling:

Relationship + cost. I was going to keep it forever, but you have to make sacrifices etc.

Price and Payment Conditions:

EOI: 12000 ONO NEGOTIABLE or swaps for an Aristo only. NO OTHER SWAPS.

Extra Info:

Note: For those who know what this car is and how much work has gone into it, you'll know why I've got that price figure, for those who don't and want to give your retarded, uneducated opinions; don't bother commenting unless you want to buy it.

There was no manual cressidas released in Australia

There was no manual 1uz's released ever.

There are very few 1uzs on standalone ECUs.

List of mods:

Engine:

1UZ-FE out of a Toyota Crown, Estimated around 150,000kms (like a new 1uz with a Celsior sump).

Rebuilt in February 09 with Cometic Stainless Steel Racing Head Gaskets and ARP stud kit. Originally torqued to about 50lbs, (spec) but after getting motor back in car was leaking out the gasket. Sent back and retorqued to 55lbs because of a repression in the gasket (Supposed to be there, just the way they're made). This also reduced compression very slightly (Wouldn't know exact figures, but Scott would).

Heads inspected, checked for trunes, cleaned and re-assembled.

All bearings, seals, and belts replaced, timing belt, water pump etc.

New 18" Thermo Fan

New Water temp sensor

Drivetrain:

W58 Toyota Supra box

New throwout bearing

New Exedy heavy duty pressure plate

Dyna Clutch

Detroit Truetrac Torsen 4.11 LSD (Worm gear driven, doesn't wear out, handles huge HP)

Custom tailshaft

Lightened Flywheel

EFI:

Walbro Fuel pump (not sure which model, decent one tho)

Wolf 3D V4 ECU with Hand controller, PC software and cable

Apexi Pod Filter

Entire engine-bay re-wired when engine was rebuilt and put back in

New TDK Spark plug leads

Accessories/Stereo:

Momo Steering Wheel

New Calibre Oil Pressure, Water temp and Boost gauges (black face with red illumination). I have yet to wire them in, probably in next few days.

JVC DVD Head unit w/ 7 band parametric EQ

7" Foldout LCD

JL 6" front Splits

Momo Polk 6x9 3 way rears

Kenwood 4 channel 400w amp

Response 4x150rms, bridged @ 4 ohms @ 320wrms per side

Clarion 500W 12" sub in box

Factory Electronic ariel hooked up to head unit

Remote Central Locking + Car Alarm

(Wolf hand controller can be set up with a pin code to start it for security, transporter style

Other:

Factory exhaust headers into 2.5" single to an X-Force twin tip muffler

Power Steering

Power Windows

Power Mirrors

Air-con option (No compressor, but easy enough to hook back up, all piping/condenser etc. still there)

MA61 1" drop Supra rear king springs (= 3" drop on cressida)

Antera 16" Italian racing wheels.

300ZX TT 4 piston calipers

Slotted front rotors and discs

ENGINE MODIFICATIONS ARE PLATED AND 100% LEGAL

All mechanical work inculding engine and drivetrain done by Scott Hampton (The 1UZ guru of Australia) @ Venom Custom Fabrications, with receipts.

All other labor and electrical work done by myself and Rich O'neil (The Celsior guru of QLD).

I generally bought the car as is. I have added the LSD, rebuilt motor with stainless gaskets, gaugues, and stereo, and rewired the engine bay. I was going to get it turbo'd but that all changed with the rebuild, ran out of cash generally, but everything is ready to go. Hard work is mostly done, All that is needed is bigger injectors and turbos/lines/piping. That motor will take 20psi all day every day without a drama, it's bulletproof. Estimated power @ 10 psi (which was what i planned to run it at) is about 400rwhp, give or take. If someone buys this as a turbo project Scott reckons it will run 12s easily, and most likely 11s in full street trim. Might want some wider rubber tho . Would make an excellent drifter. Easy to put an M90 on it Scott could also assist with that. Needs a tune. Running super rich at the moment, so with a tune it will save a lot in fuel and give you way more hp Only ever run on Vortex fuel and oil changed every 10,000kms with havoline fully synthetic.

Paint has a few little chips/scratches, but is original and in very fine condition. Interior is mint apart from dash (kind of butchered... hasn't been put back together since rebuild) and the front door trims, whic were wrecked when someone broke into it and ripped out gauges/front door speakers. But I know a dude who has a spare cressida sittin in his back yard for parts so could get entire dash + door trims most likely.

I really love this car to bits and never ever planned to sell it but have to be thinking of the future, and it's just not an ideal car at the moment. Pm me if you wanna come look at it/drive it. I already have a car lined up to buy, so I really only want cash offers, no swaps, unless it's a super aristo. Cheers

Oh and needs a wash

Thanks

Simon

[Distortion Guitar Addict]

[Distortion Guitar Addict]

bump, gettin some response now Probably won't last long hehe

[Distortion Guitar Addict]

Bump. No one wants to make me happy on my birthday and buy it?

[pepe lopez]

Seeing as its not selling as quick as you like, it may just be a good idea to do an add for SAU rather than provide links. I checked out the link and was very impressed by the car, I'm sure somebody that would never consider a Cressida might never click the link, I usually never do, but upon seeing it, might just change their mind.

Either way good luck, but you cant expect buyers to be enthusiastic about buying when you cant be bothered to put up pics yourself, the car really is worthy of pics, its a gem.

Just trying to help.

[Distortion Guitar Addict]

Point taken. How do I edit tho?

[pepe lopez]

Just add pics after my post if you want or start a new add if its easier

bump, no interest anywhere?

[Big_Car_Killa]

How hard to dump all this into a later mx83 cressy?

[Distortion Guitar Addict]

How hard to dump all this into a later mx83 cressy?

Fairly straight forward I would think, considering the same engine conversions get done. You might need custom engine mounts.. But everything else should pretty well bolt up. Not sure about tailshaft, and rear setup for the mx73 are 4 stud axles, and F series diff, whereas the mx83's are G series diff and 6 stud axles... ECU/Loom should be the same, considering none of the electrics are really original apart from accessories.

But, this car is setup, why would you want to put it in an mx83, apart from maybe 5 stud hubs? The MX73 still has eletric everything. Having said this, I do have the number of a guy who wanted to buy the car (who thought it was stock, but loved the look) So if you put the 5m or 7m back into it you could probably get some money back that way too...

Hope this helps Let me know asap if you're interested, won't be for sale for that much longer I don't think

[Distortion Guitar Addict]

Bump, need to sell!!!!! Next car is ready, MAKE ME AN OFFER!
