No that's just the initial cost. Registration renewal will be like any other car. The only other major cost would be the taxes that I know DMV will try to rape me on lol.

So I took the car to the shop today and finally got it up on the lift to check out the small oil leak. Turns out the turbo or turbos are done. it looks like I'll be going single before I get wheels. While is was on the lift I also checked for Rear steering and LSD to which neither are present.

Other things I've noticed while experimenting with the car:
1. when the unlock botton on the keyfob is pressed once, the driver's door is unlocked. One second later
all other doors unlock.
2. Fog lights don't turn off when high beams are on
3. Fog lights come on with only park lights on (hence no need for the fog light mod)
4. The air purifier has a separate filter (larger than the cabin filter that's in the glove box) located in the trunk. this system flows air through two grills in the rear deck that look like speakers.

My wife also bought me this really cool key chain while she was away on vacation

I've seen multiple 161 aristo's get stripped down that did not have rear steering, contrary to what others may think it was an option. Rear steering would just mean you need to buy a toms bar or swap in a gs subframe anyway to delete it, but it does suck that you didn't get an LSD..

And the fogs operation is sweet.

So what kinda turbo plans you looking to do? Full fuel system or just a small single on the stock 440's?

Just like alot of people on the forum have gotten false information that all 161's have LSD's when infact it was an option, but a large portion of the aristo diffs opened up turn out to non-lsd..
ARS is STANDARD on ALL JZS161 V300 and V300Vertex Aristos. Did it ever cross your mind that it may have been swapped in Japan??? ahahahaha!

I have every brochure printed for the vehicle here infront of me BTW
