This car is too cool. Love the color. Would it be possible to have a video of the car? Wouldn't mind seeing some of the features our GS's never came with.

Nice! I didn't even know the Aristo/GS was even available in that midnight blue color until one rolled into my work yesterday. I wonder how hard it would be to swap in the North American GPS

He's heading up early. He should have come for labor day instead. He solved Curwani's problem with his IS300/VVTi swap in Ft.Lauderdale. Intake pipe was too big. Dudley had the same problem with his 98 Supra when he went single. Anyhow, we'll see how it goes. A guy with a MSP3 pass by yet lol? He can't run with now lol.

I'll make a short video soon. As far as the features go here's a short list that I've come up with so far

PROS

1. 2JZGTE
2. RHD duh!

3. Parking sensors which are really cool. Once you come too close to an object or person the lady starts speaking (in Japanese obviously). I'm guessing she says "you're too close fool!")

4. There used to be a phone in there

5. Power folding mirrors ( I always wanted that)

6. Air purifier

8. Emergency flare
Name:  IMAG0445.jpg
Views: 2574
Size:  60.7 KB

9. JDM HID headlights w/ yellow fogs

10. Windows auto down AND up with key FOB

CONS

1. No sunroof (I think I can get used to that)
2. No memory settings for the driver's seat


With all that said I couldn't be happier!
