Default Sooooooooooo close now!!

Should have my Aristo back from compliance tomorrow and then I can take it to the roads authority for inspection and registration! WOOOT!

Within a week she'll be registered and driving, I can't wait. Soo many plans, can't wait to be able to show the before and after shots

just a taste.. this is not ME in MY Car of course, as I would never do anything like this. It's dangerous and silly and so on... But it's a VERY close approximation.. I would go so far as to say that you couldn't tell the real thing apart from this obvious photoshop

It looks to me to be accurate, as my car has a torsen and they've photoshopped this to look like both wheels are spinning

hehe, definitely needs a couple of inches out of the height - I just need to wait until tuesday when it's been through the registration checks and then the HKS hypermax LS+ coilovers are going in

Trying to decide on which rims to put on her. I'm planning for some 20" Auto Couture Magnifique if I can pick some up reasonably priced,NOBODY in Australia has Auto Couture rims which means I'll have to import them myself, but also means my Aristo will be a one of a kind

Lucky bro... congrats!

I'd love to get a RHD ARISTO and bring into the states.


BTW, my ARSITO JDM Torsen LSD had some play and didn't want to take a chance of damaging drive train so I upgraded to the TRD LSD now I don't have any week links in my entire drive lines. Should be interesting.....
