Default Hey guys.. Aussie Aristo owner signing in :)

Hey Guys,

my name's Aaron, I'm here in happy Australia and I've just become the proud owner of a 2JZGTE equipped Aristo. I picked it up in Japan for next to nothing and I should have it here in around 4 weeks! Can't wait!

It's a 1991 model, dark blue

Immediate plans are for TOM'S Advox coilovers, a full dual exhaust system, Wald bodykit and some deep dish 19"s - unsure on brand/model yet - I'll see what catches my eye in my travels. Also looking at a full black leather retrim.

A little down the track, a tranny rebuild and a PHR turbo kit are on the cards.

This is going to be fun, since I sold my Supra I've missed the joys of whipping just about everything else on the road

Hopefully I'm welcome here, it seems to be a predominantly US site!

Cheers

Aaron

Thanks Okiaristo, I'll be in contact soon mate! I'm hoping to head over to Japan in the not too distant future. Been wanting to go for years! Ironically, my business is based entirely on importing from Japan, but I've never actually been!

DaveGS4 - thanks for the welcome mate, nice to see an Administrator on such a large site take the time to say g'day to a Newbie

Very nice! As a supra owner yourself already know what the ARISTO can do.

BTW, you mentioned PHR for parts, they are a good performance shop/store. I myself am working with Sound-Performance I can attest Larry and his team are great to work with. They also have MKIV customer down-under. Give then a shout and check out their kits. Keep us posted with your MODS.

Here's a quick pic of my engine bay as of last week.
