clubby2084 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Wanted to show off a previous toy I once had. It's a 1981 Toyota Cressida with a mild Holden 308ci V8. Crane cam, Edelbrock manifold, Holley 600. Worked Trimatic, and Ford 9 inch diff to suit. Hilux struts, front brakes and calipers, Ford drums rear. Had a 2 & 3/4inch exhaust (so it was loud). And it attracted plenty of attention. Surprisingly plenty of it good attention. I once got let off for doing a burnout in a shopping center car park. The Police Officer was more interested in the car than what I had just done. I also got death threats from a Porsche 911 owner, who, I easily hosed down. I was assured by QLD Main Roads that the car could be registered in QLD due to a common agreement with the NT. I was assured this before I moved to Brisbane. I rocked up to Main Roads to get an inspection, bloke pops the bonnet, says "absolutely NO WAY" and closes bonnet. End of inspection. Sadly, I sold if off for parts in 1998. Around 2 years later while on Brisbane's North side. I saw a Blue Toyota Cressida (same model) with the same style XC Falcon wheels, and a very deep rumble to it. Some times I wonder. Sadly missed. >>CLICK HERE<< Edited August 3, 2010 by clubby2084 Quote
