Newbie also with a Toyota Crown!

[Tony_Toyota_Crown]

hi guys and gals

altho not so rare in NZ, I am in UK and also run Toyota Crowns and other large oddballs like Century, Nissan Leopard and Gloria ,which defo are all rare here.
Have had 6g Galant (2wd GTi-16v saloon, what a car!!), then 2.5 4wd 7g(a backward step) and now from nearly new an X-reg '2000' 8g 2.5 manual standard model (not VR4), not sport, with nice beige leather. Great car. Unusually my immediate neighbour also now has an 8g, 97 VR4. Two on one street, how cool is that :)

I know all about nasty Mitsubishi parts prices.

Can anyone help with advice on non-Mitsubishi priced suppliers for ABS sensor for a Front Wheel?

Cheers in advance, Tony from Lincoln

Re: Parts prices - Camskill can usually run rings around Mitsu for genuine parts.

hi mate and welcome. I went to a local classic show this year and spotted a 69 corona, I think a 4th genaration Crown and a couple of awsome 81 Sunchasers. I think the "sunchaser" is a beautiful car.

Ill try and get them of my other computer tomorrow.

If you try to get anything off "Mitsubishi" in general regards as parts or even information, they all come under one heading "tossers".

Stay on here you will get cracking advice.

Toyta Crown! Man that gives me a major flashback. Neighbor had a white estate back in the 70's and I thought it was major cool coz it was huge, made nice rumble with that inline 6 and had power windows all around including in the boot door.

Pictures please!

Managed to get those photos off my phone, so here they are.

I think my favourite Japanese cars have to be the 'Let's just copy the americans in a smaller and better format' type! :afro:

Ahh the RA28 ?
I had one of those 2000 GT twin cam with twin sidedraughts.
Quite quick for their time.

Yes starting to fetch good money for a good example if you can find one.
