Default My 01 Celsior build

Just thought I would document and share the progress on my Celsior build. Imported it from Japan with 79k KMs, and have driven about 6k now and couldn't be happier. She is a CF Interior Selection (same as UL), so fully loaded. If you guys have any rare OEM JDM accessories for sale let me know, especially looking for rear seat foot rest. Don't really have any set plans currently.

Already got my coilovers in, went with BCracing extreme lows (14k/12k) and the rears still don't go low enough, if anyone has rear youzealand lowering blocks for sale let me know. This is how she sits now


and yes wheels are already on the way

Never had a problem with RHD, just takes a few days to get used to. Part of me kinda prefer it since it makes it easier to parallel park.

Get some 326Power wheel nuts on those johnnies to finish the look. This thing is screaming for a full JDM VIP look. As for JDM accessories, have a search around Japan or New Zealand, as that's really about the only place you'll find them

Got my grom audio installed, very easy install. Took out the glove box 12V socket and routed the USB cable through the hole. Pleased with the results, although sometimes there is crackling, going to try a different USB cable and see if that fixes it.
