I just picked up this today, ive been looking for a tow car for a while and come across this its a 1990 Toyota Celsior. I cant believe what you get for the price of these things all the electrics work it is 100% stock and has all the orignal japanese books and service history. Its done 143xxxkm i dont really have any plans for it apart from a tow bar and trans cooler.


Suspension set to high stops it scraping up the driveway

tranny cooler.... nothing sus

[Jman_KE70]

lol, for some reason when i drive it forwards up the driveway it decides to dump the air out the bags but if i reverse it it stays normal.

[Jman_KE70]

Looks good man. Whats the fuel economy like on this? Had considered one for a daily but was kind of put off by the 4lt v8 thingo

[Jman_KE70]

I'm still on my first tank of fuel so im not too sure what the economy is like ltr/100km, so far its not brilliant but i'm only a 10min drive from work each day . I'm going to reset the engine and trans ecu's next time i fill up apparently that can make a difference so i will see what happens.

Well the car is slowly coming along, I fitted new slotted rotors and pads to the rear today and am waiting on the fronts to turn up. I noticed the car has been fitted with ADR approved braided brake lines which is a bit of a bonus. I fitted a set of clear front indicators i got off US ebay which look a bit better then the old orange ones. I am also waiting on 2 new rear air struts which are coming from Rutherford & Bond Toyota in NZ they are half the price of my local CMI Toyota.
