    Pffft, Cressidas don't count.
    I nailed it off the lights a few weeks ago in the Cressida, with a little bit of wheelspin, and the nearby cops promptly pulled over the silvia behind me!

    Question. how ghetto do you want to go with this conversion?

    Here's a crazy idea for you.

    On a recent trip to U-pull-it (lonsdale), saw a few cressys with 5M-GE's sitting in the bay. Pick one of them up for bugger all, Rebuild it (get a mate with some mechanical smarts to help you if you don't feel confident, an cause it's a u pull it motor, it'll probably need a bit of machine work done to it) then.... this is where it gets filthy.....

    J-pipe turbo.

    2nd hand T28 / T25 of some dirty nissan will do the job.

    And that's pretty much it.

    Pros: it's cheapish. it's simpleish. it's very, very DIY.

    Cons: Some people would consider you a retard.

    It's a nice idea but I've gone the way of the 5MTE hybrid. Turbo and gear has been ordered through some very helpful gents on the forums (thanks guys ) and I will post pics when it's complete and running

    This is quadrupled by going the way of the 5MTE so I think I've nailed this one on the head

    I've often said that you could drop a skid in front of the cops in a cressida and they wouldn't notice

    Yay to Joel for proving it!

    Lol, in fact, I did an even better job last night. I was sitting at a set of lights, and noticed a few cars coming up behind me. The one that stood out was a series 6 RX7 coming up on my left, so I got ready to give it a bootfull. The lights went green, just as another car was coming past on the right, so I nailed it, & with my dodgy tyres the rears just light up & the ass steps out a bit with squeel from the tyres, then I notice that the car on my right was a police station wagon!!!
    I didn't actually pass them as they got the jump on me at the lights and I backed off, and obviously the RX7 didn't try to run, but I don't think they knew what the hell happened, they certainly didn't suspect it was the cressy! I trundled along behind them for a little while then bailed off at the first side street. I was in hysterics after that though!

    Hahaahahah would this happen to be 'LAYLOW'? black FD, gold accents, 16"bling stars, big sparco sticker across the windscreen? (for the reference, it's the most hideous RX7 i've ever seen, including some absolute boonger S I - S III's i've seen)

    If so, she DESERVES to get pulled over. absolutley, blatantly dangerous and terrible driver. i find it funny, she has a sparco sticker on her car, but even if she removed everything bar a sparco bucket, the car would still weigh more than standard once she got in....LOLOLOLOL

    Yeah, i've had run ins with her before, incase you havent picked it up lol. Good luck with the conversion, although you shouldn't need it, it should be fairly simple.

    No it wasn't, it had NVMYRE plates, and featured fully hectic gull wing doors. I somehow found myself on a cruising SA cruise tonight (shhhh, please don't spread that around! ) and this very same RX7 came along.
    I think if he could he would have had both his fully hectic gullwings open while driving, every time it stopped they were up & open for all to see. Apart from being choked by his exhaust smoke for one long single lane stretch, I had a chance to line him up at one set of lights. The only thing I can say is, what's the point of having any power if you can't put it down?
    1JZCYA strikes again.

    EDIT: sorry for the slight topic derailment....

    It's a T3 from an MZ10 soarer. It's more than capable of killing the 5ME, I'm not after big power but just a bit more. If I get greedy it will most likely kill the motor so I'm going to try and keep it safe.

    BigWorm, ahaah I've seen that envymyre BS before! I know exactly the one you're on about
