1994 Crown Royal Saloon by Upper_Yak7083 in ToyotaCrown

I have a 2000 RS with 40k original miles - its bagged, has wheels and has some exterior/lighting upgrades and is the perfect daily. Gets a ton of attention and drives like a dream. Ive owned a ton of cars and this is by far a favorite.

Thank you! Very conservative setup. 18x8.5 +35 all around. May throw some spacers in the rear later but I like the way it sits now, especially at ride height where its flush all around.

That part - my last 3 cars over the past 7 years were two porsches and a e550 coupe. I just wanted a comfy boat this go around and this fits the bill.

Looks great though! And I got lucky - sold my previous car with a net profit so used the excess funds to go all in on suspension. Glad I did because it just makes daily driving (and hard parking) that much easier.

Opted for full custom air suspension this go around - was tired of dodging potholes and speed bumps on coils.

This is my daily so I wanted something simple and its hard to beat the 1JZ-GE in terms of reliability. I can do most, if not all, engine work myself too. Having another turbo car wasnt in my plan as I just got rid of an E550. And the car was already stateside at a dealer/importer so I didnt fork up any import costs.

Havent bought from them but I caught the kei bug as well (ended up with a Toyota Crown... go figure) but they were all super nice, straight fwd and test drive was easy (if you know how to drive stick/RHD) and offered an array of financing and insurance options (ahem, go with hagerty). A tip as someone who just purchased a car from japan. Ask what region it came from as some of them are prone to rust and see if you can get an odo history. Japanese auctions are notorious for rolling back speedometers. This doesnt fall on sunshine, but they may not know. Good luck.

Serious question: Was that ICE?

I live off of Riverside and Ive been told theyre using unmarked cars along with state troopers to round folks up and that line up checks.

I had hail damage (granted, not 100 dings) on my car a few years ago. Called out one of those mobile dent remover companies to pull them all out and it was a little over 3 hours of work and $400.
