Fast Cars Fast Life

Since I bought another car, I had to move the Cressida outside for a bit while I got this other car up and running. I’ve finally finished the stereo installation and I must say I am quite happy with it. I still have to install a relay so I can get some DVD while driving action, but the components sound nice and the install went well.

I’ve also FINALLY gotten around to removing the front suspension from the car, and having my buddy prep/weld the knuckles for me. I’ve been extremely busy with work, house and family shit so the car has been on jack stands for about 3 weeks now. Hope to get it back on the road this week. I’ve also managed to pick up some extended wheel studs, which I figure is just one of those, ‘as long as its already out’ kind of things. Also have some new brake lines and some SerialNine RCA’s on the way.

Picked up some new parts despite not even being finished with the current ones I have. Got a good condition R154 for when the time comes, and also a JZ-R154 bellhousing.

I picked up these 300zx brakes off another cressida owner who was parting out his car. They already have the brackets and the spacer rings installed as well. As soon as I get my new brake lines and my RCAS these will be going on and the car can finally be taken off the jack stands.

I also FINALLY recieved my rear roof spoiler from DM. Positively SICK. Can’t wait to put this on…

Before the front end of the car touches the ground again I am also going to slap the header on it. I also intend to install the AFC that I recently bought for it as well. After that I’ll probably install my old NAWZZZZ system on it and see if I can blow the head gasket out of it before it has a chance to fail on me. I just can’t see taking out a perfectly good running motor, even if it is horribly under powered.
