The Chaser, Mark II and the Cresta are produced by Toyota. I dont think Toyota had a US spec on these cars, besides the JZX90
Chaser which is the Toyota Cressida.

sorry for this nubish question but is the Cressida a RWD or FWD and do they still continue that model in Japan?

[twcfc3s]

those are rwd and i dont know if those still on the market.jijiji

[MrodDrft]

chaser, mark2, cresta are jdm onli.... the jzx81 varient is most closely related to the mx83 cressida (89-93).. rwd of course

And the Cefiro is now the Maxima, right?

the cefiro is technically a 4 door silvia s13 with an rb20 in it.. sooo, i guess i don't know if it compares to the maxima of that year, or if they continued it then changed it into the 'maxima'.. but that's what it used to be

I would like to confirm that. <Bull$hit>
I can slideout, but I not quite at the point of actually drifting; maybe if I fix my e-brake and remove the 200 pounds of Crap in my car I could get one step closer . . . or not

I Used to think it would be funny to drift a wagon. BE CAREFULL!!! I haven't given up yet, but I pretty sure all the extra weight makes it impossible (but I'll keep on trying!) Watch out for your ride height, however, because with new sticky tires I have lifted two wheels off the ground. If you already have the wagon; don't give up! If you haven't bought it yet; DON'T!!!!!


(Keep in mind it may be easier in a corolla wagon; my curb weight is 4200 lbs!! Volvo builds their cars to last nuclear wars)

theres an 87 volvo 240 wagon for sale in reno for 950, i was thinking about buying & drifting it. also theres a guy here that owns a shop called infinite velocity performance with a dropped late 80s volvo 4 door. the thing has a chevy v8 in it...600rwhp! its funny as hell maybe if i get the wagon i'll swap a rb into it...mad style! lots of ideas. maybe i'll chop top it???

$950 maybe too much; I paid $800 cash and looking back; I think I got ripped off. In the car's defense; its only broke a transmisssion mount, engine mount, exhaust mount, PCV Valve; and the clutch is weak and it needs 4 brakes and not sure how many suspension parts. . .Holy *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored*, I never realized how crappy my car was! The engine and transmission, however are 500,000 miles and strong! I get perfect compression and the car still shifts smooth as butter.

FYI: you will not find parts for your wagon at autozone, don't try!

[DrifterWannabe]

Yeah the station wagon is RWD. so does anyone think its possible?

[DrifterWannabe]

Thanks for the help everyone. I already have the wagon so i'll be careful about drifting it. i just wanted to know if it was possible.

Why don't you go and find out?

I drifted an AWD Legacy Turbo wagon, so a RWD Corolla can't be that hard...

Just don't be an idiot.
