Cressida Question (since there is no Cressida/Other areas):

[daidaikonnootoko]

What was the first year that the Cressida became a front wheel drive vehicle. I think it was the '89 Cressida, but I'm not entirely sure...

[Slow86]

The cressida never became FWD. Today the cressida is called the mark2 and it's very rwd.

[cdnsupra]

the mark 2?
is that a japanese car name?
i never heard of the toyota mark 2.
i have heard of what we call the mk2 supra, 82-86.

as far as i know, the cressida was always rear wheel drive, very similiar to the mk2 supra, but with 4 doors.

NAN DAI YO!!??!!??
huh... I guess someone did a really custom job on their '89 Cressida.
To think that cooking my breakfast in a spoon would be bad for me. (j/k)
Now I just need to figure out what kind of rims can go on a Cressida (there's a pretty lacking amount of selection of rims for RWD cressidas, especially from '86... damn!)

[[yeah, In Japan it was called MarkII or Cresta (slight variation in the way that the name is said?), I've heard both, but more to the side of MarkII]]

Thanks guys

Cressida never was, never will be FWD. In japan its called the Mark II, thats not a certian generation or anything, thats the name of the car. I have a few links in another post to all the Cressida/Mark II/Cresta/Chaser sites i know of, well atleast all the ones of my generation cressida i know of. Heres my Cressida forum/club http://pub95.ezboard.com/bvipcressida and heres the link to that post with all the links......ok, nevermind, i searched over all of TN and cant find the post. Maybe it was deleted, i dont know why though. If you want my list of all the links go to my forums, im goin to post them all eventually. What year cress is yours? Do you own one?

i know the supra guys(2 door cressida) have lots of problems finding nice 16 or 17 inch rims. they just don't use that bolt pattern and offset any more, and the manufactureres have dropped it as an option.

i have seen guys make up their own spacers, and custom dirll wheels. those are your best options for any kind of new style rim.

[86CRESSIDA86]

Theres a guy on here, and he posts on my cressida forum, he has 91-92 supra 5 spoke 16's painted white. They look pretty sweet w/o the center caps and so on.

Actually, I currently own an '88 Accord LX (I know, I know, it's totally blasphemous :oops: ), but I was supposed to be buying a white '91 Cam (hence the banner) from www.autotrader.com this next month but found out that it was sold (couldn't find it about a half hour ago... so i assumed...). I'd still like to, but now I saw your forum site and I'll relentlessly try to find an '86 Cressida Wagon if one pops up before another good '91 Camry does. (I'll cross my fingers)

Maybe I should remove my bottom banner, since I may not get that Cam... hmmm... nah... I still might find one close to home!

Jaa

i posted about a great 1991 corrola for sale in the for sale section. 5-speed, 4cyl, well maintained, no rust, new parts recently, e-tested and certified 3k cdn!

[daidaikonnootoko]

I dunno if I can buy the corolla... if it's in Canada. I live in the US, and so I'm not sure if they carry over into the US very well. Guess I'm just looking for a Cress or Cam (maybe even an older MR2 if I can find one in REALLY good condition), but I'll consider...
Thanks, cdnsupra!

whoooops, didn't realize you were from the states. all the paperwork for a 3000 dollar 10-year old car is probably not worht the hassle unless it was something you really wanted. there is about 30 1990-92 corollas in the auto trader currently, so there is lots to choose from. probably your area has the same over population of early 90's corollas.
