Default New Celsior member from up north

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself as a new member from up in Canada. Finally have some pics that I can share of the new Celsior which should arrive from Japan in the coming weeks.

Its a 2001 Blue on Black C/F spec, which is the UL model here I believe. Its done 33k km which is about 20k miles and was auction grade 4.5A. Super excited to experience this car, as I've always had sportier cars in the past... decided to get something a bit more daily commute friendly.

Looking forward to learning/contributing!

Nice looking LS, er I mean Celsior.. That is a super clean interior!

The 16 inch wheels still look odd to me.. Rare to see one with those wheels installed...

Welcome aboard!

Wow! Congrats on a fantastic find. Its looks absolutely mint.
My ‘03 Celsior has the same black leather interior.
Rear passenger grab handles along with Japanese script marked buttons and on display menus make it uniquely Celsior.
Toyota retired the Celsior name after UCF30/31.

*BTW , the only thing I dont like about my Celsior is that the FM tuner doesnt go much higher than 90Mhz like many Japan Domestic Model cars. Both CD changers are still working fine though.

Yeah I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing with the 16s yet, they have brand new tires on them so I'd feel bad letting them go... but I've also picked up some 19s for it

Thanks! I was actually just in Malaysia a few months ago and didn't see any! Was in KL, Penang, and Langkawi, as my GF is currently living in KL.

I have a plan for the radio because that would bother me too - I've gotten the beatsonic kit and a double din android deck, I'll be sure to post it

in USA used Japanese cars have to be 25 years old to be imported but in Canada much less. I think I could drive a car with the controls on the opposite side. would be kind of fun for a while. but for now Canada and other countries get all the good ones before they can come to USA. sad
