Was the guy's sign-on Peewee on celicasupra.com or toymods.net?? I know he was making 1uz mounts primarily for the Mk II Supra (MA61) but he did say they would work in the MX73 Cressida chassis. He may have info on fitting the 1uz in the RX chassis.....

The mounts were about $220 (NZ) shipped.

wicked guys thanks for all that ! il start some research into it. It should have a warrant soon Ken all fingers crossed! im glad its got like stuff all rust and now its begging for sum grunt hehe

I like this idea, that would be a cool car for sure. To keep cost down try to make sure you get a *complete* engine and trans with all sensors, loom ecu, everything. Give the trans a good t-tech service and just drive it. Mean

yea im definately thinking about it now, just quite a few aspects would need to be taken into consideration such as rear diff - would definately need and upgrade, also axles and would i change stud patter and just bolt say a larger cressida diff from a 7m-ge newer model? but since ive got summer ahead of me and time i definately think il be picking up a 1uzfe for xmas ! hehe
