Helloo. Big change. A week ago I finally moved from Nihonmatsu to Tokyo, Minato. I had to move because I had really good opportunity at new workplace as a manager in a company that manufacturers vending machines.
New house is like the rest of the houses in this suburb, narrow. I'll make some photos when I have time. I have a garage, which is very small compared to my old one. At least something. I decided to leave my taken apart AE86 & bosozoku Merc GX71 back at the big garage we used with friends. They aren't really suitable to keep here in Tokyo with such less space (parking costs, no place to keep them). Nihonmatsu is about 290km away, so I can take a visit to see the cars without much trouble. So don't worry, you'll still see them in the future! Also the garage where I hold my oldies is few minute drive to Ebisu, I can ride my 86 there.
But the coolest thing about new home? It's next to Shuto Expressway! I love that, especially at night. No need to answer why. (｡>﹏<｡)
If I did leave my two cars back at old site, what's my car in Tokyo? I bought a Toyota Cresta JZX100. And nope, not a drift build, more likely a daily wangan racer! Which isn't the brightest idea, tho.
I've been enjoying and exploring this sedan for the last 2 days and seems pretty decent for its price. I'll give you a short list of what's worth mentioning.
Spoiler:
1998 Toyota Cresta Roulant G
30% of the car parts are replaced within last 7 years
Factory installed 1JZ-GTE, 206kw, 377Nm (with a lot aftermarket spare parts)
4 speed automatic gearbox (got a 6spd manual gearbox with spares)
Freshly painted stock Roulant rims and damaged Work Meisters S1 (both 5x114.3 lug pattern)
3.9 Torsen LSD differential as a spare
Sport springs and shocks (?)
Light grey interior with wood dash panels (electric seats with retrofitted memories modes)
Bluetooth stereo and reverse camera
Remote ignition and lights
Problems:
- Rear brake lights sometimes strobe (oxidised connections)
- Transmission switches into 4th gear too late (sensors?)
- Check engine light
- Parking brake engages badly
- AC a little noisy
- Interior door panels rattle slightly (they've been changed by previous owner, maybe that's why)
