Machine Check - Jon's Cresta

When most people think of the JZX100, the Chaser and Mark II are typically the ones that come to mind. What's overshadowed is their other, softer, sibling, the Cresta.

The Cresta was a popular model, especially among enthusiasts for its JZ engine and FR layout. While tens of thousands were produced, they still some how remain a niche model outside of Japan. Overall, it's a car that offers a unique blend of luxury, performance, and old school Japanese style that makes you look, and feel, more sophisticated.

There aren't many kits out there for this wonder of a machine, but luckily BN Sports is one of them - thank you BN. In typical BN fashion, they gave this car the body kit it deserves and Jon definitely knows how to pull it off. I literally will never look at an all one color Cresta and think it's cooler than Jon's - except for one. The only other Cresta that comes close to being as cool as this one is Akira-san's Mazda Soul Red Crystal Metallic Cresta on AVS Model 6.

Jon's Cresta is one that I hope other people see and use as inspiration for building theirs, or at the very least be the reason nobody makes an all white Cresta. There are too many white cars anyways, lets be different shall we?
