Vip

[racsov500]

hey

anyone got any good shots of vip? particulary the president and cima

show us if you do

[Demon Dave]

Here are some to get you started...

[racsov500]

thanks dave. what do you know about the president? is it the same car as the infinity? thnks

[Mazinger]

president is the same car as the cima, exept it got more features, not really in the toyota century league.

[Parag0n]

Celsior is my favourite VIP

[Demon Dave]

The President is also (IMHO) one of the worst styled luxury cars money can buy. Truly awful

Celsiors are nice, with a sensible kit and decent wheels. Trouble is, more often than not they end up with some monster kit, wing's bigger than most planes, drainpipes...no sewage pipes for exhausts and massive wheels at a ridiculous camber angle squeezed under monster fenders....

[racsov500]

Well, thats the japanese VIP for you. Try to explain their vans, with the wings and such

not quite...not to be nitpicking but the G50 President ran a VH45DE and the Y32 Cima ran VH41DE, but the best thing was the Cima also came in 4WD

I love to get myself into a F50 Cima...

[Mazinger]

the older presidents from the eighties are really nice though, great styling imo.

celsior is definetly a good vip car, realiable too, but what about the crown, what do you think about it (royol saloon and athlete i mean) not the taxi/cop cars

[Demon Dave]

There's a real nice athlete estate in black near my place - looks really nice with a kit and rims

[racsov500]

i saw a cosmo the other day. what do you guys think? not exactly vip?

[Evo_Lee]

uh no...

VIP strickly speaking mostly sedans and vans which enables you to fit a bigass sound system and still have your mates in the back to cruise around with you. Not to mention it's suppose to be a slug, heavy and with very little performance thus it's a show car. Which is the reason for it's popularity with bitumen scrapping bodykits but they seem to think they can still drift the car which results in an even better bodykit, one with a damaged/torn front bar...mostly entered in SPL comps.

[Mazinger]

demon dave, care to post some of the wagons pics?

and evo_lee, yes i have seen those celsiors with cracked body kits, makes you wonder why they have chosen such a heavy car out of all the rest.

[Demon Dave]

Just been browsing through my pic collection and realized I don't have any good VIP pics, especially of the vans.

Will have to try and get some sorted this summer - in the meantime, anyone else have any VIP van pics for our viewing pleasure?

[lwells]

F50 Cima has *the best* looking headlights -- gattling gun style

LW.

[Evo_Lee]

Dave: now VIP vans is something I would consider myself...more practical, more space and looks so much more better then a sedan when dumped on 20". A van would be no heavier then a sedan, plus it has a greater sleeper effect...with a 4WD version and the fact they are now front engines tuners have been able to slap on S/C anc T/C for some mild boost. My choice a Hybrid Estima, black of course, 20" with a nice kit , the guy who installed my alarm had his new demo white Alphard at the shop...very very nice. Because it was a shop demo car it had every freaking alarm possible and security devices install on the market to demonstration to the customer. He joked if this van could be stolen via means of entry the theif is a genius.

[racsov500]

heh

the celcior and various lexuses are nice, but i still dont get the wings. especially on the vans. how mocked would one be if they drove one here.
