What are celsiors like?

[DanWA]

Been offered a Celsior (LS400) for my hatchback but i know nothing about them or 1uz's


Would you swap it for a nice tidy Toyota Celsior (LS400) with 200km on it lowered with BBS alloys.

1UZ engine package with 105 on it and $$

Could make a quick/easy skid rig, can you get lockers for them? 1uz's don't mind skids? reliable?

[Yakky Bear]

unsure about lockers but decent engines.

[Lump]

not worth much & hard to sell

[Marti]

Engines are tough as nails but they don't look too good

[Skitzo]

Would run one as a daily. Pimp n shit.

[shifted]

Common motor for conversion to Supra and Hilux (1UZ is the V8) - I think anyway...? Would run one as a daily.

Seen them for sale from $4k to $7k - one was for sale not long ago on here?

Wouldn't get too excited about a celsior as a skid rig, They can't do one.

Unsure about the locker's. But why would you want a soggy whale with a locked diff?

1UZ's are a good motor and strong, but struggle in such a heavy car.

Celsior's are reliable only when driven like a nana, even then they are thirsty.

Push a celsior for a long period of time and you can kiss goodbye to the harmonic balancer and the gearbox

[Sciflyer]

AFAIK they use a unique diff housing and never came with LSD so welding might be your only option

Regardless, they are heavy and high-geared for cruising so skids aint gonna happen unless you shove a blower on the UZ

They are a luxo-cruiser, they are not the car for thrashing about

[DanWA]

There goes that idea then

[Mr Scorpio]

They are pimp!

Electric everything, leather interior, sunroof, (I believe the top model has reclining rear seats), all the goodies! Dump it with some fat wheels and I'd take one.

[DanWA]

I don't need a daily

[coFF33]

then you dont need a celsior

[Mad_Aussie]

Nobody needs a celsior, just like nobody needs herpes. But once you have it you'll never be able to get rid of it. Like herpes.

[kurbn]

rather an Aristo over a celsior

you could thrash the 1uzfe engine all day everyday, and it would still keep going hard.

Thirsty??? these are awesome on fuel for a v8! especially highway driving.

As for LSD, never came in the celsior/ls400 - They run an A series diff, I heard the best way is to use a lsd from a jza80 supra (a series aswell) which still needs a bit of work

[Drift_R32]

have heard the alternators are pricey
which seem to blow when the power steering leaks onto them which is a common problem..

anyways thats what ive heard when i was looking at afew..
definately look fucking pimp as..would have one as daily if it could tow a trailor lol.
