Juvi22003's RHD Toyota Aristo Build Thread

I still own my 3IS currently my daily but decided i wanted something different, a project, something faster. Had my eyes on a Silvia but it was a non turbo, the aristo came in and it already had the 2jz-gte so i went with the aristo over the silvia saved me the time doing a motor swap.
I plan to do some body work with wider fenders, vents, might eventually change the color but definitely will have the whole car repainted and basic engine mods. btw i'm looking for a downpipe for this car if anyone can post a link of where i can find one i'm trying to avoid getting a custom one done.
Cleaned it up a lil today here are some pics

I'm already having problems lol
Yes i got it for a lil less than that
Thats why i got it instead of the silvia saved me the hassle of doing a engine swap
You may be right because there is another one for sale in Orlando i think for 15 but i paid less than 16k for mine.

I agree with you there... even the used car market in the States is a bit ridiculous (I'm comparing it to the Japan and UK markets). Aristo's in the UK are going for around $8-12K USD for nicely modified ones, stock ones for a little less, and I bought my 01 GS430 Sport in excellent condition with 130K miles for approximately $3500.

when i got mine thats one of the first things i did hahaha
congrats on the purchase though, looking forward to seeing this thing after a few mods.
I wish i had gotten it for that cheap, but the car is rare here in the US so you know people will always try to sell them for high dollars. Sometimes i think i just bought the engine and rhd lol but i'm ok with it. Should be ordering my body kit next week then i gotta wait 3 months for it once it gets here it will be going in the shop.....
