Mainly the mx83 guys, better suspension and beefier rear. The only supra diff that fits the mx73 is hard to find now its out of the mk2 or 3 i think.

Wow, very impressive work. The engine looks like it fit in there perfectly. Nice upgrade on the 5 lug and V brakes too.

Impressive build. I like that S13/S14 subframe jig you made. That brace between the front subframe mounts is a fantastic idea. Looks like you used Z32 or Q45 uprights too. Great choice on the S13/S14 rear suspension. Keep up the bad *** work.

hats off! bad ***

I built the motor in Luke's Cresida that runs Golden Gate Drift. medium cam in the 230 duration range, milled heads, LS1 intake, 30# inj, ported TB. Stock bottom end with 100K and rod bolts. He has been beating on it for 3 years.... hard. 6500rpm redline to keep it alive.... hasn't shown any signs of failing yet.

Here's another one.... different guy.

total sleepers.... love them

Very nice setup, in for progress. I'd sport the heck out of a "Helen Keller FAB" sticker too!

Man that is some impressive fab skills!!!

Also did these cars ever come with normal seat belts? Maybe a JDM option? Can't stand those "automatic" ones.

I still love this build oh so much. I never thought I would say anything even mildly related to Helen Keller would give me a chubby, but the Helen Keller Fab Cressida makes me smile in the pants. Great work, man.
