feels like a southern rap dvd from 2001

I love these builds! Sensible not crazy HP daily drivable and clean as hell! Mad respect to this beautiful build!

In 99 I built a 87 cressida waggon with a 1jz and 5speed swap from a supra that my buddy Matt totaled. Has the full cut down wiring and everything, no one even knew what I had. Most thought it was Nissan maxima. Would dust fox body with the family and shopping in back. Hearing this car was a flashback!!

best ending of an autofocus episode so far! Not sure if you'll ever beat this

I fell in love with this car earlier this year right after buying a mx83 cressida for myself. I go to school around the corner from the shop and often find myself taking the long way home just to drive by and see what's outside.

I just picked up a 1990 with 86K on it…minimum rust and actually so far runs like a dream!!! This video gave me inspiration definitely!! If anyone has any forums where I can find parts and more inspiration it’ll be amazing!!

I had a 1985 and a 1991 Cressida but I had to sell both of them after I was in an accident. I love seeing them getting the love and respect they deserve now as I got made fun of a lot for them. It always makes me sad thinking about having to sell them but I hope I can build another some day.

came back here for tyler ❤❤

I had a 90 with a 7mgte /R154 manual swap with Subaru WRX seats,Evo e brake Nissan Max rims and wrx front brakes plus Mitsu conquest seatbelts. And hole lotta other things .miss it a lot Now its revived in a Volvo 240 Wagon. Nice job !!!!

The MX73 had the birthday reminder but didn’t carryover to the X83. Love seeing more cressidas being built instead of just ripped up and thrashed 🙏🏼

This car is by far one of the best build/restores I've ever seen. The Cressida is the original Lexus and they are so rare nowadays in good working condition. I love that he's got it tuned just a bit so it's fun but still practical. I WANT ONE SOOOOO BAAD!!

90s JDM are making a huge comeback! What use to be the least desirable cars are now a hot commodity! 🤘🏽

Glad to see the bumpers I sold him are being taken care of 🤘🤘🤘

So basically Abraham Lincoln owns a Cressida

Finally a Cressida

I live in Trinidad, West Indies. I am an importer of used JDM cars. About 70% of cars on the roads here are imported used cars. The door visors are pretty common on these cars.

Rebuilt the head on a 7mge and drove it across the states back in 2010, and then sold that joint for 700 bucks lol..I still regret that day Fml

MX73s had the clock that sang happy birthday, tells you oil life and mpg readout. MX83s were one of the first cars with a factory CD player back in the 88 MY89. Canadian X8s had headlight washers, heated seats and LSD from the factory.

I believe it was the digital dash that would play the birthday song and flash initials on selected dates.

My brother in law back in the early 90s had this Badass Toyota Cressida, I remember he had her Midnight Blue with Deep Dish TRS wheels on it.

I have a 90 1jz vvti Cressida that I built here in Ohio. This guy has such a clean and classic look! Props!

I like how Larry has the best channel.

Everyone is about to be on Ebay, Marketplace, Craigslist after this video.

Larry this is my story, my first real girlfriend from high school in 1986 her mom had a 1984 Toyota Cressida I believe it was two-tone blue a very dark blue. We used to borrow this car to go out to dinner in. As a teenager I fell in love with this car I'm not going to lie this car was so more advanced I remember just the weight of the doors we're so solid compared to you anything else in that error especially a Toyota! The digital dashboard awesome sound system for its time sunroof plush velour interior with this pool pinstriping in the seats I have yet to seen a car like this to this day I wish I could have got that car I would have kept it and took good care of it. So that's how I ended up here today I am now in my 50s searching for an 83-84 Toyota Cressida with the same features and interior to be the same color the outside I can find the original paint code and have it painted but hopefully find one in a dark blue would help. Found a a couple here in Florida but they are all burgundy or brown I will keep searching to find a car and restore it

Awesome to see his badass car then seeing that he has purple lobster dunks on.

I stood right next to this car a few years ago and it is gorgeous!!!

A few are lucky enough to keep a favourite car for life , riding it till the end of days But most are forced by circumstance to move on. Gotta pay that rent , got hit by inattentive driver, fell at the wheel or common issues that send the prized cruiser to either a new owner or the junkyard.. Had a 93 with a 1jz gte-non vvti swap & R154 tripod shifter .. she was my numero uno, my sweetheart my diamound in the rough that eventually became my love lost .. my toyota cressida wagon.. Was forced to sell it last month & was left with irreplaceable hole in my heart. Sounds emotional for an inanimate object but for true ethusiasts we know its true love.. Never sell your blue lightning!!.. & Sorry 4 the book.

I had so much fun in my 87 Toyota Supra, I had her in 99, and she was one of the fastest cars I ever owned right next to my 77 Olds Cutlas supreme, wow, the rubber that baby left after peeling out.

EXACTLY how I would build a Cressida if I had one, maybe minus the roof rack but I understand why he has it lol

Yup, now I want a Cressida.

Now I know who owns that shop lol. I used to drive by it every day to work by the square.

Kill the music in the background 🙉

Johnny Knoxville's older brother obviously loves JDM

Tyler is the best. THE BEST!!

I love xchassis I own a 1jz-gte swapped 91 cressida. I daily it every day with a car seat in rear for my son here in SoCal lol 👍

Left man hangin so hard!!😭😭

This car is giving me serious vaporwave vibes... and I love every second of it!

More rare cars! Not so much this car is "rare" but indeed this build is rare! I love seeing things new to me.

I gave you a thumbs up for another great video but I might have to take it back if I find out Larry didn't give that man his high five.

Always come back and watch this. Rip bro

11:47 straight up certified hood classic

Cressida is the wave !! Super sleek and sleeper worthy to the max. -Cressida fan from a young boy

This was the car of the 80s for Jamaicans. Love this

The previous generation Mx73 with the optional super monitor is the one that plays happy birthday. Can confirm, I've got one.

Yeah the music in the background the entire video kinda sucks

You guys gotta chill with the Cressida video's how am I ever gunna get one if you keep showing everyone how awesome they are D:

As a fan of slammed sedans I can't help but love it, it's not excessive under any aspect, it's actually just right. These cars were actually pretty popular in London in the late 90s, among Gs and wanna be Gs. There were quite a few Cressidas, Crestas, MarkIIs and even Crowns, all rigorously white or cream. Then of course Lexus were too, the fugly Z30 Soarer in particular. Of course not a single one was at this level of cool, they all were slightly lowered over a set of cheesy rims. I often wonder if they survived their owners and are now in the "scene".

😄👍🏼 Jonny Knoxville driving a 1jz cressida awesome I love it

wish i still could have had the one my gramps was going to give me before it blew a head gasket on the 7mge motor and had to junk it unfortunately. was thinking og doing a single turbo 1jz swap with serialnine kit

Something of note that not lots of people know is the cressida (x31-x81) was sold as the cressida in aus/na is sold as cresta, mark ii, and chaser in japan and the X81 was the first model to feature a 1JZ although it was non-vvti.

Finally a car that hasn't been destroyed by the awful LS swaps - SO crisp

That guy has a nice car and nice shoes sweet purple lobsters

Hoonigan is literally just here to keep adding to my frustration trying to settle on one car to build and keep forever

I love seeing my town in this video!

how could anyone hate this vid lol

This guy reminds me of a fairly chill Johnny Knoxville.

it was an option to get a digital dash and on a set date the display could flash your initials and play happy birthday. dope as hell

(BIT OF A READ...) My youngest brother purchased himself a 2nd-Gen 1989 Toyota Camry Ultima CS-X Sedan (Australian 2nd Facelift) which was built in Altona, Port Melbourne Toyota back in late 1989 so in Australia that makes it a SV21. It holds a 2.0 liter I4 (Inline 4) 3S-GE engine and 4 speed auto FWD. Myself, my little bro plus our other brother we have our eyes on this (FULL WRITE-OFF) 3rd-Gen 1986 Toyota Cressida GLX-i up for sale real cheap because the cars been T-boned completely front and rear passenger. It still starts and drives so the idea is to buy this wrecked Cressida (by lowballing him obviously lol) strip both front and rear subframes with rear diff, the driveshaft, 7M-GE V6 engine transmission ECU & wiring harness, all upper and lower control arms, and anything we'll need to successfully complete a RWD conversion on a 1989 Toyota Camry. It's never been done before, well at least not in Melbourne. My only concern is the overall width on the Cressida is exactly 10 inches wider than the Camry. The overall length of both cars has also been addressed but its not a concern. If we can pull this off and have the Camry converted with full Cressida running gear and it runs and drives, any car guy would recognise this. Sorry for the essay lol. If you made it this far punch yourself in the face hahaha who reads that much lol. I never got into Camrys until I saw the bros one and the hype around around us with this car is legit so thought I'd let the youtube world know that someone's out there with ambitions in converting a FWD I4 Camry to a RWD V6 Camry.

Music way to LOUDDDDDDDDD

I’ve been to Koru before. Good dudes. But if you want a MX83 or S13 build I’d highly recommend Antech. Andy is a RB and JZ master.

RIP legend 😢

Whoa, Larry you didn’t give the poor man a high five, smh.

photo shoot in the graveyard flexin on corpses is tight

The ending was so perfect.

Wish the host let the owners talk more in each episode but dope episode especially from Atlanta and his dunks

i see them lobster sb's

idk about this mtv reality tv show, love n hip hop ass soundtrack lol

Confirmed spotting that dude in bluejz in the back round!

That color is nice.

Super nice “JDM tribute” car. Great job!

Such a perfect car. Love my Toyota’s.

You aren't kidding about how throwaway these cars used to be; a buddy of mine paid $50 for one a while back. I wish he would've kept it.

nothing beats the the mpg, and practicality of the early 90's honda, especially anything with a hatch my personal favorite being the split tailgate eg, and i can attest it's an awesome daily.

Clean car but even cleaner shoe! Purple lobster SB’s!!👍

Gorgeous classic! Thanks for sharing the video with us!

Better looking than my '91 LS 400

Wow Larry. Didn't have to leave the man hanging like that.

Blown headgasket lmao darn those 7m motors lol mk3 supra owner here so I understand 😂

3:29, I see Rutledge Wood's Hilux in background

Always liked the 2nd gen cressidas , when i wanted one back in 98-2000 they were still super pricey. Weird thing is i barely see them in other countries.

Keep cressidas clean! :)

Love the stance. Brings back memories of my family's '89 Toyota Crown Super Saloon.😆 Did anybody spot the Toyota LC60?🤗

RIP... love to all you guys

I miss my MX73... thanks Canadian winter...

Yeah I'd definitely build one. ▪paint all black ▪1jz twin turbo ▪VIP Scene but fast

What iconic 80’s or 90’s JDM street car would you consider to be the best daily / weekend party car?!

Larry you were 10 minutes from my house!

INDESTRUCTIBLE

hi larry, upload some material on the iconic mitsubishi galant vr4 1990

I was dying at the end 😭😭😭😭😭

Such inspiration thank you for the content!

Awesome machines of the 80s it's the mark 2 cousins

Birthday thing is a real fact. I have owned 2 a mx73 and mx83 both with the factory radio would sing happy birthday if you programmed in your birthday.

Bad Luck Club

Dude I always hated those lacey seat covers..when I was a kid I just wanted to rip them to shreds when my aunt came to pick me up from school😭
