Hey guys
I have had my 1990 C-F spec Celsior for just almost 3 years now.
Was hard to find exactly the model I wanted but I got it at the right time and at a average price.

- 1990 C-F Spec Celsior
- Tan leather interior with rear seat controls (rear seat electrically reclines, seat heaters, full seat massagers, stereo controls, dual air conditioning controls, electric headrests and personal tape deck with ear phones)
- 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8
- "Fabulous" Expand polished wheels
19x8.5 +26 on the Front with 235/35/19
19x10 +26 on the rear with 265/35/19
- Modified exhaust with oval tips.
- Tubular Suspension Systems F/B/S/S airbag suspension
Triple convoluted bags all round
Accuair Self Leveling
GC 2spd valves with 1/2 lines
Optional touch pad and wireless key fob
- 2 year old respray in standard colour with white, gold, blue and green pearl in the paint, looks immaculate now
- Pioneer 7" Indash touchscreen TV
- Billet custom grill
- Clear front indicators
- 5% tint
- Red/clear aftermarket rear taillights
- Shaved badges on boot and front side quater panels
- Keyless entry aftermarket Mongoose alarm system
- White L.E.D. interior light kit

When I first bought it, I got it cheap due to some scum tipping brake fluid all over the bonnet, many many many scuff marks around the entire car, and also alot of acid rain damage on the boot, roof, bonnet and windows (anyone know how to get rid of the stained acid rain drips on the windows?)
I did have aftermarket airbag suspension in it for a while compliments of Breece (MAHEM) but due to very dodgy wiring and workmanship, I ended up having to deal with severe airleaks, and spending $2000 more then his quoted price, so with a very dodgy airbag setup due to his work, I ended up biting the bullet and putting brand new airbags in which were $2500 imported from the USA, 18y.o airbag quality was shameful compared to the new Arnott industries airbags that were in it for 2 years. So after spending $4500 I ended back to where I started (Thanks Breece).
But no use on dwelling on the past.

Now I know my car is not everyones taste, but thats fine Dont like it, dont comment, simple as that


Here are some before pictures. Sorry if they are too big, I will make them smaller if the mods request so.

I would just like to say a special thanks to Jake, Josh, Jase Shlink and Matty for all their help and persisting with my constant complaining.


Thanks for reading everyone

Brilliant looking ride mate you should be proud

Thanks TM, I am pretty happy with how it is now, I constantly turn my head and look at it every time I park it and walk way.

Looks even better in the flesh. I nearly cried laughing after hearing someone comment about rolling the guards, you whipped the remote out, dumped it and the wheels copped that much neg camber they just went straight in. The billet grill isn't too bad on the eyes either.

Pritty sick ride u get there mate.
ive seen a bloke who is friends with my mechanic
tht has the exact same car only tht it has the
airbags in it and makes it look really hot.
but urs looks so my schweeter with the camber kit

Haha thanks!
Its funny to stand behind it when its fully raised and watch it go down and the wheels just ever so slightly tuck under the guards.

Uhhh... What? again in proper readable English please?

It's actually hard to believe that the car will be 20yrs old next year and I think BC-152 was trying to say yours looks much sweeter than his mates one.

lol yea thts wat i ment

TM - Yeah it is very hard to believe, with all the little electronic gadgets in it, like the side mirrors have de-misters and also fold in with the touch of a button, the back seat has built-in massagers and duel zone climate control, the standard suspension has whats called TEMS which basically is a switch inside the car that controls the dampening rate of the shocks to give a smooth luxury ride or a sporty firm ride, all this and it is just shy of 20 years old!!

BC-152 - Thanks mate, sorry, was just hard trying to understand your previous post.

Wahhhh. All the gadgets and its almost 20year old.. Lol, thats impressive.
I likes the paint, and the rims.
And it sits nice when its dropped.

I'll have to have a go of them massaging seats when I get to see you if that's ok with you.

TM- If thats what tickles your fancy, sure, why not.

BU113T - Yeah it is quite impressive, and it is reliable too, not much goes wrong with anything in this car, mainly its just wear and tear on suspension parts like bushes etc, otherwise, its completely reliable.

Toyota were always ahead of the pack back then. A mates 80's Toyota crown had electric reclining seats front and back, a TV screen in the dash and adjustable suspenion, although the suspension was on it's way out after nearly 25 years. Sure as hell beats the camry's and corolla's they make these days.

that is one nice ride, im jealous it looks tough wen its dropped, makes mine look pretty pathetic XD

Kermit - You are right about the camry's, man they are dreadful looking cars, although, the Aurions look much nicer and I drove one at work the other day, man have they got some power! The torque steer is pretty crazy, but for a family "camry oriented" car they have so much power its just crazy!

Jake - Thanks mate, alot of work has gone into it, but now its time to look into buying something thats going to make me some money, not loose my money, so for now, I am looking into buying a block of land to build a house on so not much more will happen with the Celsior.

ah investments aye, but you've gotta have your toys along the way, otherwise life would just be boring.

car looks sweet as mate, it had being ages since i saw it, and when you rocked up at the wisemans cruise, i was like, dude, awesome kinda reaction, so yea, good job with it, and glad to see you still went ahead with it all after the set back and problems youve had.

Ever thought of signing your car up to a casting company for ads, music videos etc. coz I heard you can make some sweet cash off that.

Thanks for the comments Simon, yeah an investment is not often a car, its always a property so thats where my savings are going towards now.

TM - Nah have never thought of that, would not even know where to start
I have been asked to do a formal in Nov so I am considering doing that.

Yeah I'd definately look into the formal thing coz that can be very good and very worth while.

Yeah I am not too phased about it, If I do it, so be it, if not, does not worry me.
