The Celsior, just like its brother the Lexus LS 430, is the finest automobile made in the world. For those that are unaware, the Celsior is the name used for a LS430 in Japan. I have always dreamed of owning one and my dreams did come true.

My Celsior is a great ride and has had many modifications. All of the Audio modifications were performed by Music Lab in Okinawa City, Okinawa Japan. It has a Sound Monitor Pre-Amp with a Sound Monitor 6 Pack CD installed, all in place of the the stock Stereo. 2 of the AMPS are fine tuned Sound Monitor with a separate Power Supply. The 3rd AMP is a Bostwick 2000 pumping out 2000 Watts into 4 Bostwick 8" Subs wired into 1 ohm and located on the back window deck. All three amps were fine tuned by Mr. Masatomo Yamamoto the Owner of Music Lab and custom cross overs were built by Mr Yamamoto as well. Sound Monitor is the high end of Eclipse and produces a very clean sound. The Front Doors, the Rear Deck and the entire area behind the back seat have been Dyno Matted for superior sound quality. All of the RCA cables and speaker wires are Vanderhul. I have also installed a Camos DVD player and a Movie Cowboy 250 Gig Hard Drive in the Top Glove Box with a Panasonic 11" TFT Monitor in the front and an Epson 8 inch TFT Monitor in the rear between the 2 front seats.

The car comes equiped with Air Suspension but for more precise height adjustments, an after market Air Suspension Controller was installed. I do not like idiot lights so I installed a Defi Link Heads Up Display that gives you acurate Speed, RPM, Oil Temp, Water Temp and Oil Pressure. Although the lights are factory HID I upgraded to 6000 K bulbs and changed the High Beams and Fog Lamps to HID as well. I have also had a lot of the interior changed to Wood Grain as I hate looking at gray plastic. An Ingen Cold Air Intake was instaled and this has made a great improvement over the stock Air Box. The original battery was replaced with a Panasonic Dry Cell. I have received my Aero Parts from Tom's Racing and they have been installed as you can see by the additional pictures.

The Brake Lines have been changed to Stainless and all 4 rotors have been upgraded to Dixel slotted with Dixel no-dust pads. In addition all 4 Brake Rotors & Calipers have been Powder Coated Gold. This work was performed by Head and Hawk at their Garage that by the way goes by the same name.

Whatever suspension parts could be changed has been, using Toms Racing for more stability and better handling. A Toms Racing Tower Strut bar has been installed and this has made a huge change in the handling. Toms's Racing is a subsidary of Toyota. The rims are 20 inch WEDS, LXZ's (made by Works) with Yokohama DNA 245/35's on the front and 275/30's on the rear. The exhaust system from the Cat back, has been changed to Zelius, this system gives a very mellow sound. The Engine and Spark Plugs have both had a grounding system added.

I have recently added Chrome Head Light, Chrome Tail Light trim and the Euro Style, Clear & Red Tail Lights. The Brake Rotors & Calipers have been Powder Coated Gold.

More pictures of this to come soon. Please let me know what you think of my car.

Center of Dash has been changed to Real Wood and hand crafted by Mr. Kinjo at Music Lab. The wood gives a much nicer appearance than the factory plastic. Notice that plastic piece on the Air Con/Heater controls has been changed to wood grain and how all of this matches the lower portion that is factory wood grain.

Custom Speaker enclosure for the Bostwick System 65's. This enclosure was hand made by Mr. Kinjo at Music Lab and was designed to keep the door looking as stock as possible. Also notice the additional door parts that have been wood grained.

Custom Installation of the Amps in the trunk. Fans have mounted behind the Amps to keep them cool. At night the Blue Neon at the top really shows off this area.
