Good choice, I used to have one myself. You will need coil overs or at least springs because once I got a lick on on your average UK country roads, the results were terrifying haha [url=https://flic.kr/p/XyLW6L

Appreciated, I'll give the car a test when it arrives before I take the plunge on new shocks or springs 😀
In my older more sensible years I tend not to push it as much as I maybe did previously 😉

Well turbo VVTI 1JZ, they've got 280hp stock, bit of a boost tweak and a fuel pump gives you over 350 so, not a bad dog carrier

Currently in Port Sudan on the Red Sea The stereo in the CROWN is a bit annoying as the double din up top also controls the air con. The usual trick is to install a beatsonic adapter and a new double din on the bottom where the cd changer is but I have a slightly different plan. The beatsonic is expensive so Ive decided on this: A Highway 600 unit, Bluetooth and allows for Mp3s and DAB, ideal Also got a special cable to convert the Toyota plug on the back of the head unit or one in the boot to Aux Should solve my music, radio and hands free for not too many beans

Yeah it should do, these kits usually just work with an Aux output so I'm sure youll be able to do similar if needed Just a simple way to get decent radio/music with the hands free bonus

Great story so far. I’ve currently got a 10 year old pure highway in my Mazda 6 and it’s great. Can’t beat a bit of DAB in your life.

Love these, always thought theyd make a decent stealth daily - I've got a 100 Chaser I've had for coming up to 2 years now, the VVTI 1JZ is a great engine!

Oooh nice I don't even know what one I need until the car arrives, I might go that route in the end I think there are a few versions depending on the number of speakers? Car getting closer on its journey:

I love a CROWN build. Not sure if you know of a guy Mark Finnegan? He just sold his that he built, was around 450 at the rear wheels with the stock auto box!
If you are in need of coilovers, I will be selling the HSD Monopros from my JZX100 once I get standard replacements. They were fitted new to the car just before I got it so they’re in good nick!

Well if you've got a wagon with nav, its that one Ive been told by the admin on the facebook group page that it can still be two versions if it has nav, I need to check if it has a sub in the boot I think, basically one version has 6 speakers and another with 7

Boat is currently in Livorno, Italy.. hopefully not long now. There was a slight issue with one of my documents, I was sent the wrong one. I didn't notice, the chassis number was similar bit Pacific Coast sorted it out. They even sent snacks again! Yay!
