Hello,

New to Club Lexus but I figured it is better late than never to join. I am currently building my daily Aristo and will keep the pics coming as best as I can on the build. It is fairly basic right now but has some interesting mods in the future lined up (6spd manual conversion, bigger turbo and supporting mods, Serialnine upper and lower arms, shortened knuckles, bigger brake set up, Bride seats, etc)
I am looking forward to the build and will do my best to photo document the build and answer any questions you may have.
Cheers,

-J


Currently the car stats are this:

1995 Toyota Aristo

Stock 2JZ-GTE with a few mods

here are a few current pics of my aristo

 

Looks pretty damn good. Nice ride

 

That is one sexy ride. You live in the states? I would love to make mine have that mod list lol

 

Welcome to Club Lexus

That's one nice first gen you got there

 

Thank you, its a long way from being done but I am excited to start the project

 

Thank you, I am in Vancouver BC Canada, from what I understand JDM cars are hard to get into the states the scary part is that the list keeps growing lol. First up is wheels and supporting mods to make them fit(arms, knuckles and fender work) once that is done will have to see what I need to save for next on the list lol

 

Cheers and thank you

 

Helll yeah!!!!

This car is gonna be soooo dope very soon!!

SERIALNINE sedankings.

 

Ya man, pretty stoked about the whole build, 2014 is going to be an interesting year for us

 

well it has been a while since I have been on...guess it is time to update and show you what has been in the works this year... early this year I ordered up my custom Work Gnosis CV203 19x10 -12 and 19x11 -21 .... here are a few pics of when they came in. I am running 225/35 on the front and 265/30 on the rear.

 

As you can see there is a fair bit of work needed to make these wide wheels fit on my stock body Aristo...

 

Prototype front upper control arms





Prototype rear upper control arms





Custom short knuckles with extra camber added and roll center adjusters





Decided to install the rear solid subframe bushings too since we were under the car lol





A quick pic of the delrin diff mounts

Soooo now it is time to install and try out a bunch of prototype parts to get these wheels to fit and the stance I want...

 

Well here are some pics of the initial fitting of the wheels and suspension...




things are starting to come together...had to roll the fenders a bit but managed to keep the stock outer body lines...





everything is starting to come together...





tight fit...





just rolled out of the shop after a long night of installing and fitting...





soooo excited to see that it is fully drivable and everything clears...

 

A few pics of the car after the livery was applied...

 

So overall here is where I am with my build... it has many other things in the works for 2015...I will try to do a better job of keeping you up to date on things... it has been a crazy busy but fun year and I am excited to move on to the next step of the build...
