Nice, although an expensive swap unless you're going out all race. Your car looks really clean though, and is surely one fast daily driver.

Expensive swap? Aristo clips can be found for $2500. More expensive than the 1jz swap; but it isnt ridiculous like the old Powerhouse quote of "$15k" or something

The EMS will work with the Aristo harness but alittle wiring need to be done... If you want to know more call mainstreamperformance in powder springs Ga and talk to Dave.. He has became a pro at EMS and Aristo harnesses....
