i always wanted to do a VIp car, but too expensive for me. i wanted to VIP a q45 or something, but cant afford that. so next best thing is old school VIP cars

if this is in the wrong section, mods can you please move it

and just to clear some things up. after some research the 85-89 cressida is RWD? what about 91? because the 91 looks like it too

thanks

ahh dude if you wanna start the reasearch you wanna look jdm mx73 pics i believe its the car over there.. good choice on a starting car though i was thinking of doing a cres but its ether hack away at a kit or wait months for jp kit i dunno ... my mind is still in thinking mode about such,,,
and yea it can be a costly project to do a current vip car but i like your taste if anything do that. and all cressidas are rwd from the early gens to the 91- they are drift compatible loll ....

YES, the 85-89 and 91 Cressidas are RWD. A buddy of mine restored one and it came out so clean! I'll post pics later.

If you're thinking about going old school, doooo it! The Cressida is a great platform and it even shares the same motor as the first gen Supra -- NA 3M. It's also a great platform for a VIP car. I saw a few featured ones a few years back in Vip Style magazine. One 91 Cressida even had an MR2 T Top.. it was HOT SH*T! Too bad I don't have that mag anymore.

Oh well.. 

Hope this clears everything up. 

Good luck!

actually the early body style runs from 85-88 mx73, the style changed for 89 gx81 jzx81 mx83(?). the pics you posted are the newer body style, 89 and up. the chaser, cresta, and markII share the same chassis with the later cressida, kits made for them should fit the cressida with little to no mods. the cressida is sort of a combination of a chaser and markII. i'll try to post some pics later ;)

thanks for clarfication 137 i didnt know the which gen was the mx73..
also last night i remembered that in fact the cres came on the mark II cresta platform so yea basically them kits from jp 
can be fitted also if you wanna go custom i seen a cres with a 1st gen legend kit so theres a thought there not very vip'ish 
but if you mess with it should turn out nice...
btw the cres shares the same engine on the na-7m.

awsome thanks 137. this forum has a lot of nice people. hahaha every other forum im on people flame people easy

but i had some questions. you guys say that these cars share the same platform, but what about headlights taillights?

i like the headlights of the MarkII, the grille and taillights of the chaser. so would i be able to make them work? or am i just dreaming?

well i can only speculate but: the markII headlights most likely will not work without converting the rest of the front end (fenders,hood,bumper), the chaser grille may actually fit the stock cressida, the chaser taillights may also fit but you would need the filler panel below them, this would cause the loss of the tag mount however, unless you converted to the chaser bumper, or mounted it elsewhere (imagination ;) ). much can be acomplished with enough time, money, and skill of course. again this is only speculation, and my opinion. 8)

how bout don't worry about body kits or light conversions or anything like that... step one: get the car. step two: slam the car. step three: get well-fitting wheels
try and accomplish those three first before even worrying about anything else, and you might find that you're already ahead of the game

You're asking for too much.

nope, i used a chain saw! it does look like ass but those fenders were junk so i didtn want to waste alot of time making em perfect. i'll get some frp 20mm Mark II fenders someday.

Hmmm... why did you just not wait and do it all at once and have it look awesome...? Instead of succumbing to "poor norcal 240 owner" syndrome? Cuz wasn't the car all nice and one color with straight body and bumpers before?

I think he bought another chassis, the blue one is stock again.... although i'm not sure why. As rare as cressida's seem to be I sure wouldn't have a problem beating the crap outta a nice one. :P Then again, i beat the piss out of my Soarer... haha

i have two cressidas. the blue one and the ugly black one. my fenders on the black one were garbage so i decided to see how the Mark II headlights look with cressida hood and hacked fenders. it looks like garbage, i need a Mark II hood, fenders and a bumper. not many people work on cressida's so you gotta experament to figure s*** out....
