My 1992 Toyota Celsior
Discussion
Here it is... the 4.Slow as I like to call it.
The Japanese spec Celsior differs from it's European cousin the LS400 mostly in the options offered with the chassis. There are enough differences to justify it's own chassis code (UCF11) however most parts share commonality with the euro spec car.
Items you won't find on the LS400 include:
- an air purifier/ionizer which is located behind the rear seats.
- An upgraded sound system (though still 2ohms, which makes fitting new amps and head units troublesome)
- Air suspension (I believe it was possible to option in Europe but very rare whereas came standard on celsiors)
- No EGR pipe (an awkward and common replacement on euro spec cars)
- Only 2 CATS
- A corner marker which can be raised and lowered
It's done 96,000 miles as of the moment and has had a little bit of time off the road as I've sorted out one or two issues.
Since purchasing her it's had:
- New disks all round
- A new caliper
- New inner and outer tie rods
- A new upper control arm
- Anti-roll bar polybushings (in the mail)
- Custom stainless exhaust
- new gas struts for the bonnet
- New plugs, leads, distributor caps and rotor arms, filters
I am currently in the process of repairing the traction control wiring loom after jumping a humpback bridge accidentaly, which resulted in the wheel punching through the wheel arch liner and into the loom.... oops

There was also a Celsior with the same UCF10 chassis code as the LS400.Didn't see the humpback bridge yor honer 
Trying to hunt down a celsior grill as someone has put the lexus one on at somepoint.
The wheels are standard lexus that I bought after a pot-hole ruined the alloys it came with
Ive spotted an immaculate interior from a 1999 which I'm giving serious consideration to
