drifting cressida?

[nightslider]

hello all, ive been into drifting for a while with my s13 and consider myself a pretty good drifter. however im looking for a 4door car to drift with, particularly a toyota cressida. they use them for drifting in japan, but i dont understand why no one(that ive seen) here in US does it? anyone tried drifting in it? is it a bit difficult without a turbo motor? i know they all come in auto, but im sure the old supra motor can be dropped in right?

I think cuz they only came with an automatic transmission

edit: oops, your post got me too excited, didn't even read the whole thing. Anyway, I've seen people get 6 speed trans for cressidas, some guy posted the whole process online somewhere. Just search around

-84-88 have mt and at tranny
-89-92 have only at tranny
-i am going to get one soon and hopefully drop in a 2jz from a lexus gs300 non turbo......they are beautiful cars...luxury and power.....v6 engine.......my dream car.....


EDIT**** www.toyotacressida.com they document a swap to manuel transmission form a a70 supra........ and www.jzx81.net for more videos and pictures and other tech.......

Yea, you aren't looking around much cause I have seen a couple and seen one or two for sale on here. They are a rare sight to see but they are out there. Also the 6 cyl in them should be ample power to Drift with.
