motavated Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 For my next project I'm looking for a cressy, starlet, or a 510. Just tell me how/what type of drop your going to give that car. They look sweet with some old school jdm wheels. Or you can roll as is... Very nice! BTW: I heard You need some Miata rear lowering springs to lower the rear on those I think. The front I heard Mr2 lower springs? I was doing some recherch on them a while back. Good luck!

DRIVEN Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Those cars were the beginning of the Lexus badge in the US. They run ridiculously smooth. I've worked on a few and always kinda wanted one. I'm sure you've seen the guys do the turbo Supra drivetrain swaps. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment

ezcruiser Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 omg! That's officially weird and awesome! I want 4! Quote Link to comment
jeks180 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 yeah i found that s13 front coils will work for the front and that the solid axel rear is similar to the 86 rollas' sept mine has a hard pan bar that makes lowering the rear a pain since i suck at math, but i' plan on pickin up some cool stuff soon air shocks electric fan cb radio with loudspeaker beaded seat covers some surf shop stickers from hawaii a white vinal of the islands of hawaii for the car not sure on the placement though so throw some sugestions if you'd like i'm open to ideas and will have some pictures of the interior and a sketch of a wagon that will inspire this build its no where as good as dude that designs stuff onhere but i do more of a graff style thing so yeah thanks Quote Link to comment
