Question New and reside in Japan

About 2 months ago I sold my TRD Sportivo Aristo 161 V300..... They guy I sold it to is leaving the country and Ill be taking it back. Now that I will possibly just keep it and build it I need suggestions on paint and wheels. I cant wait to get this started.
Planning on BC Coils or Upgarage Coilovers

You live in Yokouska? I got myself the plain JZS160 Aristo...kinda wish I got the JZS161, but didn't want to pay the extra cash on it with the yen rate at the time. Since you seems like you go to Upgarage why not get some HKS Hipermax, Tein CS, or something along those lines for coilovers? I wouldn't touch Upgarage products with a 10ft pole.

Right now no engine shots but ill do when I get it back
the engine bay is all stock 2JZ-GTE. The TRD Sportivo just comes with the lowered springs and the badge. I maybe missing something. But i know it sits lower than stock and handles really good.

Here is the link to a little day I had with the 161.... Sun was good to shoot with

its also my blog be happy if you guys would follow too

Talking

Another angle.
So paint was decided yesterday for a very cheap price.

@ Amgone Yo what up mannnn ...... I wish you lived back here in Japan dude.

Someone also mentioned why BC Coils? I have seen what the Extreme Lows can do in regards to slamming the 161... I also spoke with Justin Shreeve and he loves them. Also the price is not bad. Plus Japan has stupd prices for "cheap built coils" I mean yeah I can spend 200,000 yen for coils and just not worth it man. Its gonna be a daily not a show car. With plans on possibly drifting it but thats all in the future.

Someone else also mentioned about the Upgarage Coils......... I have tons of friends with them and they are actually not that bad. I know for 100% fact that they are better than the TEIN Flex and Street Spec ones...... along with the KTS ones.
