1993 Toyota Celsior Review - The BEST Starter JDM Car!

[@jackeldridge1319]

Just graduated with a degree in Japanese, the button at 4:43 says 交通情報 (こうつうじょうほう) meaning "traffic report". Common feature in Japanese cars of the era, it would tune you directly to the local traffic report station that you'd preset on the head unit. Was useful for people running on tight deadlines so they could know where the traffic was in an instant

[@brdllc]

That’s so cool, we have to go back. I’m tired of flat screens and the latest redundant tech being the new “features”

[@jackeldridge1319]

@@brdllc Ikr, can't stand it either. I still insist we went wrong by abandoning carbies and mechanical diesel pumps for EFI. Took the ability to work on your car away from even very handy people, and made working on cars an expensive nightmare for mechanics

[@jun_suzuki42]

Traffic information the button said. It is used to listen the traffic radio station that broadcast on AM frequency.

[@rv9990]

The japanse button says: 'transportation information'.

[@unnamed122]

I absolutely love this car because it's innovation, especially with the XF20 model I really want one so bad

[@michaelcowling9928]

Today at work I was talking with a coworker that used to kive in Japan and couldn't bring his car back to the states due to whatever import restrictions are in place. His car was a Skyline, not one of these, but still in the same subject... And then on the way home from work I was parked next to one of these at a stoplight today and my first thought was, "wait a minute look at that right hand drive car. What IS this thing?"

[@gary5717]

The seats are pure wool, not cloth. This is to stop squeaks from the leather. I love mine. Hello from Ireland.

[@CoolStuffInWeirdCars]

Nice video! Glad to see you enjoyed it :D

[@dave11686]

Holy moly that’s Max’s car!

[@murraysaucedo897]

The Street Fighter II Bonus Round brought me here 😉

[@RIZFERD]

Lucky us Indonesia, UK, Australia, etc We drive at the same side of the road :)

[@gary5717]

Don’t forget about Ireland.😂

[@shreda125hilux7]

Im from Australia (we use right hand drive everyday) and listening to you being so excited for being in one had me like.. -.- hahahha

[@RIZFERD]

Indonesian here LOL also the same!

[@chitpaul]

Also called Lexus 400 series.

[@shreda125hilux7]

Lexus uses real pine tree wood buddy, just covered in a plastic finishing , no fake wood here.. this isn't a Kia

“This is not a powerhouse of an engine...ummm did you know the block of the 1uz-fe engine come forged from the factory and it is said that the block hold up to 800hp like nothing.

[@alexnagy3386]

Man, imagine if they made 800hp.... Then it'd be a powerhouse of an engine!! But unfortunately they make the same power as a honda civic

[@mikeypv6]

No UK cars have indicators/turn signals on the right... its a JDM/Korean thing... it spins us out just as much putting the wipers on instead 😂

[@markhealey9409]

Yes,this is true of UK/Ireland cars in the past 4 or 5 decades,w/ the turn signals on the left on our right hand drive cars....but they the stalks on our right hand drive cars were mostly on the right,until the 1970s,when they started to put them on the left...EXCEPT for some Japanese right hand drive cars in UK/Ireland,which still quite often had them on the right.. I had a friend with a late 80s,or maybe early 90s Mazda 626 here in England,which I borrowed a few times,& I kept putting the wipers on,by mistake! 🤣🤣

[@markhealey9409]

But Korea has left hand drive cars,& drive on the right,not left.

[@Oscarutabaga]

Lmk when youre near stl i emailed you a while back about reviewing my 300zx

[@DeathsTacoIsHere]

sir, would you mind deleting this? i want them to be semi-affordable by the time i can buy one thanks.

[@kierenalvarez]

that button says am mono in my ls400 93 model

[@saro6043]

I’m not sure if it this car but I think it is, but the warning light on the dash are holographic! The actual lights are on the ceiling of the inside on the dash

[@dmitryk2058]

any celsior users out there can comment on any electrical issues ( faulty ECUs, leaking capacitors etc ) .... Are these really as common as people out there seem to state ? And if yes, any comments on how difficult it is to do diagnostics, replacing ( ECUs or capacitors ) ? I really like the vehicle but my biggest fear is that electrical issues ( from what i've read on the web ) are very very common on Celsiors and can make the ownership a miserable experience. I've read people had all sorts of issues due to electronics failing: ACs not working, window regulators, throttle response, air valves and what not, transmission acting funny to vehicles just not starting all together ....

[@bradscott2432]

I'm in the UK and indicators are on the left

[@markhealey9409]

Yes,they have been since the 1970s,but they were on the right on British built rhd vehicles,before the 70s...except for some Japanese cars,well into the 80,s,& maybe even early 90s.

[@Queso_19]

it looks like i can destroy it using my bare feet and fists

[@deanmartin7637]

I love mine. 91 👌🏾

[@bobh1435]

I picked a 1993 body number ucf11 up the other day with cloth seats. (Electric seats front n rear) I can't find the x3 rear differential bushes anywhere.. they discontinued the line can anyone help? ?

[@dailyrider2975]

FYI: Seats are WOOL. 😊

[@shreda125hilux7]

Cloth seats are very rare for ls400s/celsiors

[@rafterman02]

They were a rare option, but most people opted for leather.

[@bendover1128]

I heard that leather seats are rare because cloth was better than leather in their eyes

[@arnychedar6112]

what is the name of the font in this video?

[@jeffyu8854]

Toyota Crown parts have to be import from japan

[@ilgwent8061]

It looks way less luxurious than the LS400. Inside & Outside.

[@fenwa592]

It's nearly exactly the same as the Lexus LS400

[@saro6043]

It’s almost exactly the same just some interior stuff changed

[@adamantking6452]

Looks just like the 1st gen Lexus ls400

[@Real_British]

Bcoz its basically LS400

[@Ok-nc8hq]

Wrong they had leather in japan

[@christophedecavalla2941]

The wood is real. The seats are wool

[@landcruiser6652]

time to do some workout for your health, bro.

[@mattv7012]

The best car till you realize all the parts for it are expensive. Most people neglected it because of that.

[@brysondean6707]

But i mean its all LS400 stuff

[@mattv7012]

Bryson Dean I’ve had an ls400 and sold it because e36 parts were cheaper and more plentiful. Could just be where I was looking

[@deanmartin7637]

Think it was where you were looking. I’ve got a 91 celsior and all parts are Available through auto zone. And oreilys.

[@jimzangora]

My celsior is so easily maintainable, if you want OEM lexus parts, its only Lexus expensive prices, and it's not 'expensive.' I can get them at the my dealership. The points in this video are on point.
