I am the proud owner of a 1989 Toyota Cressida (stock for now), and I was about to purchase a 1989 Toyota Supra for $300 as strickly a parts car.
Now, I was wondering if the:
Cams (More aggressive profile)
Heads (better valve management and stronger valves)
Exhaust Manifold (better flow)
Brake Rotors (bigger brakes, 5 lug instead of 4, and 4 Wheel disc)
Brake Calipers (to go with the bigger brakes)
Rear Axle (to handle the possible GZE or GTE upgrade)
Sterring Wheel (cause it looks better *laughs.*)
Seats (I have always loved the Supra Seats.)
Computer (Sportier Engine Management)
And possibly Pistons (better compression)
would transfer from the Supra to the Cressida. Both have the 7M-GE powerplant, so I figured the Supra would have the more sportier designs for the parts than the ones on the Cressida.
If anyone can help me in selecting the proper parts to swap over, please, let me know.
And the reason I don't just drive the Supra is because it is tore up. There is massive body damage, and the rest of the interior is shot. I would have to buy a whole new '89 Supra with no motor to make the Supra I am looking to buy look nice.
Thanks for your time, and hope to hear from someone soon.
Also, as a side note, does anyone know of a good Powdercoater out in OC/LA region? The Supra is sitting on demolished 18's and I was looking to get them refinished.
