Its certainly pretty big. Got the oscillating vents like the 430 too. Got leather seat covers on but theyll be coming off as soon a its registered and useable
-
Will do .im supposed to be buying a really nice rs ltd mx5 tomorrow . But having 2nd thoughts now. Thinkimg of importing an aristo vertex now instead
-
These are leagues ahead of merc. Engine is the supra engine. Easily and reliably tunable to 400bhp on the stock engine. One of the best engines ever made. Ive not driven it yet but my importer said it goes well
-
Its a 2.5 turbo. 1jz. 280bhp give or take. 85k miles. Will be staying in kms though. Rwd auto .tiptronic 2001 Cost about 4500 ish
-
Well after nearly 3 months its here and well it big and white and the family think it looks like the ghost busters car
-
Thanks for the info. Had loads of imports but not had a toyota yet
-
Sounds dear. Do you import the parts
-
If i dont use the roon of the estate i may get a soarer or maybe a saloon crown 1jz. Have you had the cambelt done. Im wondering how much itll be
-
Im still allowed access through a company ive used in the past. My mate lets me use his too but normally you have to leave a deposit to gain access. You can try ts exports . Thatll show you some. Or tradecar view but they buy to sell. If you want some more info feel free to pm me. Its becomes a bit addictive . Even though ive got one on its way im still looking even though im skint now😆 -
They hide the gear shift knobs in the car so they dont get stolen . I think the crown may need a bit of a tidy up .as even though it was a good grade its got a mark on front lip and a possible scratch on rear quarter. Was reasonably cheap compared to others ive bid on. Looks very clean underneatg though. This was my 08 cube i just sold. Looks new underneath
-
Id have bid on this if i hadnt bought the crown. Bit gutted really. 80k kms .
-
Loads in japan
-
Sounds like its a breaker. Probably hiding more problems too
-
The first car i bought i used an agent who organised the payment and shipping. And i organised everything this side. Quite straightforward
-
My mate is an agent .
-
Theyre seat covers. The ls ones are bigger to i think. Will be an interesting comparison. Im a bit gutted though as a lovely ls400 went through last night but ive soent my money on the crown
-
I think it shares some suspension components with an is 200/300. Not sure on anything else. Ive had some pics sent today. Pretty stock barring the wheels and seat covers
-
I think my elgrand was limited with the cruise on. I dont think my crown has cruise. Ill know in about 8 weeks
-
Theres a few about but not many. Apparently theyre quite easily tuned and the engine and drivetrain is reliable to 350-400bhp in stock form Im not sure about mods yet. See if i get bored of the 280 its got as standard
-
Hopefully
-
As there's no crown thread i thought id post on here. As of thursday im the owner of a very white toyota crown 1jz. No the long wait for it to arrive from japan
-
Never been a fan . But as i get older im changing my mind.I may look into one of .Depending how much i like my newly to be imported toyota crown 1jz

We're aiming to go when the next Olympics is on. To watch the judo. My importer friend is going march. To visit traders etc. Im hooing he may spot something a bit special for me then. Just to say the elgrand engine isnt the same as the 350zs -
