We felt it mandatory that we address the nation regarding the Cressida's wheel fitment with the SSR MKIII wheels that we had previously been running. Even though they weren't in perfect condition, I still really liked the look of them. Alas, long overdue are some wheels that properly fill the fenders, and we could not be more excited about the new set of black steel wheels that we bought from Ben of Garage Tanoshi which he had been running on his MX73.
was ripped off on the speedbumps getting onto the ferry when we came home from our recent trip to Vancouver Island. Our friend Milo, who runs TS Performance, fabricated some dual pipes for us that we feel accentuated the tough new look. We also felt it was time to get an open differential to weld, which makes it a little bit easier to get unstuck since the car is so low.
This video is a bit of a 2-for-1 deal as there's a small update on my forever ongoing project R32 GTST. Before going to Japan, I was having some issues with my transmission/clutch not working. I decided that I would just leave it until I got back, and honestly tried to just forget about it, but Reid of Rudeboy Custom encouraged me to get back on the horse. He helped me pull the transmission and we found that the clutch fork was cracked, so I got a new one and took the car out for a spin around the block to test it out. After all that, I'm exactly where I was a year ago after our last Skyline update video. Alex is punching air right now because I haven't done anything to my car in the last 4 years of ownership.
In the end, the Cressida looks a lot cooler and I have a running, driving car once again.
All is well in the Checkpoint kingdom.
