1985 Cressida Wagon - 1UZFE V8 swap - CA BAR Legal!!

Postby uspspro » Tue Jan 12, 2016 2:46 pm

Hi everyone,

I love this car so much, but unfortunately I can only keep so many vehicles where I live, so I have to let this one go. The parts list, on this car is INSANE! I could part it out for a ton more than I am selling it, but I just don't have the time, and it would be a cryin' shame to see that happen to such a great car. Also this car has been BAR approved, and has passed smog on 2 occasions without a hitch!

Unfortunately it had a minor accident recently, which I am in the process of fixing. I rear-ended an SUV at low speed, however the SUV had a tow hitch, so the impact was concentrated on the hood, grill, headlights. I am picking up the parts this weekend, and hope it have it all fixed up in a few days.

Here are the specs /parts / maintenance:

Drivetrain:
- 1985 Toyota Cressida Wagon ~ 140k miles
- 1995 Lexus 2nd gen 1UZFE 4.0L V8 swap (CA BAR approved)
- 1995 Lexus automatic transmission
- Fully functioning ODBII (but since it's a 95, the techs still do the ODB 1 procedures for smog)
- Custom 1-peice driveshaft
- Mk1 Supra rear end (rare!), recently rebuilt by Weir Performace with their solid pinion spacer and new Toyota bearings
- Custom stainless exhaust with OEM lexus cats, and V-band connections , Borla single out and turn-down tip
- All aluminum Griffen circle-track radiator with transmission fluid cooler, aluminum shroud, and dual Derale fans with controllers
- New timing belt, tensioner, and all idler pulleys replaced during the swap
- All new engine seals during the swap
- All new ignition components during the swap
- New alternator and battery during the swap
- New idle speed control valve
- New transmission gear position switch
- AN stainless oil filter relocation

Suspension / brakes:
- Custom short-stroke front coilovers with Koni adjustable struts and camber plates
- Front roll center adjusters
- Custom rear spring perch, to use off-the-shelf 5" OD springs, with eibach springs
- Tokico HTS short-stroke AE86 rear shocks - adjustable
- Custom adjustable panhard bar with heavy duty joints
- Addco thicker rear sway bar
- Aluminum Nissan Z32 300ZX 4-piston calipers and rotors with Carbotech pads
- New larger master cylinder
- Rebuilt mk1 supra rear brakes with OEM pads
- All bushings / ball joints etc have been replaced

Steering (full overhaul):
- New power steering pump
- New complete steering rack
- New tie rods

Wheels / tires (2 sets):
- Set 1: Avid "CCW style" wheels 16x8 with VERY sticky 225/50/16 Bridgestone RE-11A tires
- Set 2: Authentic JDM Hayashi Racing Perrier Mesh wheels 15x7 with Blizzak WS-80 snow tires (for trips to the sierra)

Interior:
- Very good condition
- 1995 LS400 gauge cluster adapted to Cressida dash (this one could use replacing, since it's on the fritz... common for these units)
- Authentic 90's era TRD Sports (reclining) drivers seat. Very rare to find in good condition!!!
- Replaced heater core

Audio:
- Pioneer AVH-X3600BHS 6.1-Inch Bluetooth headunit with iphone cable
- Old school PPI Art Series amplifier 4x50 setup to run 2 front channels and the rear bass drivers as a subwoofer.
- Polk audio co-axials in the stock dash location
- Custom fitted Tang Band bass drivers in the stock rear location
- This system won't blow anyone away for power. But it sounds good, and does a good job without modifying the interior too much, and takes up ZERO cargo space.

Extras:
- Nice custom trailer hitch!
- OEM Toyota chrome roof rack (never got around to installing). Very hard to find!!
- True projector HID conversion with ballasts. Even though the headlight housings were damaged, the HIDs are still fine! These things kick ass. Very bright, with good cutoff.

I am looking to get $4500 obo (including the front end fix).

I am located in the SF Bay Area.
Send me a PM, and come check it out!

Thanks for the offer, but no trades in this case... unless you have a very clean AW11 SC :)
