67Rolla-Ken Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Fantastic! Can't wait to see her after cut and polish. Mate, I'll double your money right now... $600 for her? :lol: Well done, car looks sexy even as is on standard wheels. Quote
mungi mods Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) these are the new wheels for this......:wink: 5 x 114.3 15x ???? -6 i'll let you fill in the blanks :yes: Edited February 20, 2011 by mungi mods Quote
silverra23 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Nice score. Other M series engines fit without too much drama. 1UZ struggles thanks to the chassis / suspension set up. Engine is too wide. LS1 fits nice though I believe :) Quote
dfunkt Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 here's what they look like LOOOOOWWWW..... couldn't find a pic of one in adelaide that was wearing 15x7 0-offset dragways, but they did stick out unmolestered guards a bit..... Quote
ca18ae71 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Posted February 21, 2011 na lower then that lol yes they are the wheels i will let u all guess what size Quote
Onikage Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Great find on the cheap! Sounds like you have good plans for her. How about an improved suspension and chassis setup? Just so it'll handle better. Could make a nice little sleeper. Quote
ca18ae71 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Posted February 21, 2011 trying to find any info on upgrades and what not but no one is talking lol, Quote

ca18ae71 Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Posted February 23, 2011 hi guys , i have been looking at the motor side of things and getting paint quotes sorted out should go for paint around the end of July, I'm still trying to decide what motor to go with its between na 1jz and 5mge , kinda leaning towards the 5mge because its sooo much easier i don't want to start another long project but 1jz sound so good lol Quote

It's newer and there are probably more aftermarket parts for them than a 5M. But... Might as well go 1J or 2J if you'd go as far as 7M. If it were me I'd put a carbied 5M N/A screamer in. Just because N/A is so much cooler! Quote
Trev Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Nothing wrong with the M series engines, head gaskets are a factory fault which you can fix completely by changing the head gasket, cleaning/skimming the surfaces, buying new head bolts and actually tensioning them properly. I dare say that people will get sick of seeing a J series in crowns & cressidas soon, keep it authentic, go with the M series :y: Quote
