haha Bill you're too sweet man! Thanks for the congratulations. This has been a very interesting and testing process so far - I'll be thrilled to have it on the road in time for spring/summer!
Well I haven't made much time for the Cressida lately, however, I still plan on having it up and going for this summer cruising festivities!
In the meantime, I was fortunate enough that my work wanted to make a video profile on me for their website. There's a lot of SC content, and I thought you guys might enjoy it.
OK I accused you of making statement before but this is over the top, just might say outer space. Rudy I loved it, great job and you have a friend with a BMW e30 and for me that makes it more special since I am into those cars too.
Your guys' comments and reactions are awesome! It was such a nice experience and I'm thankful to have gotten to make this. Thank you all so much and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it!!
Ali - small world - I wish I would have put two and two together and would have gotten the chance to meet you when you came in back in December!
And Craig - this car does nothing but put smiles on my face. It was such a cool experience to get to make this short film for work. I love these cars and knew if anyone would appreciate this it would be you all. Thanks for the awesome comments!
Well, the dreaded time has come... My registration is due on the SC and it's time to pass emissions! Thankfully, after Covid, Colorado has moved to idle only tests for the time being (and hopefully it stays that way lol). Currently the car is catless and on a JDM VVTI aristo ecu (thanks Gerry!). I've purchased a GESI G-Sport 400 CPSI GEN 2 EPA Approved to weld into my 3" midpipe. I've done a lot of talking to friends around town about modified cars and what high-flows are actually worth installing. Everyone I spoke with said if you want to pass and not play games, skip the magnaflows and all that cheap nonsense and go straight for a nice GESI. The cat has arrived and once I finally make some time to weld it in I'll let you know how the process goes!
I'm also trying to make some moves to get the Cressida finished up. I'll keep you guys posted!
Took Friday off at the shop and went cruising with the guys up to Estes Park. The SC performed flawlessy and held it's own against dual K04 2.7T's, V8 R8's, etc! The car just pulls so hard, runs so smooth, and sounds so damn good...
BUUUUUUTTTTT..... I did manage to go through emissions with my new GESI EPA rated cat... Take a look at these CO levels... HOLY ****! What do you guys think of that? I do have an 02 sensor installed that I never truly believed was the correct one... Do you guys think that could be an issue? The JDM ECU does spit out some error codes, but I've never gotten it to say anything except for a speed sensor error since I'm currently on an auto ECU.
Any input would be greatly appreciated! And any input on a locally/online available 02 that they know works well with a JDM VVTI ecu would also be greatly appreciated.
