very nice cars, they are often the top of the line aristo's.
some of them have TEMS electronic stiffening and hieght adjustable suspension.
the V8 can be built up to be a power monster just like the 2J. and can yield some very impressive numbers. and can't forget the 4WD. i've been thinking about getting one for a winter car.

haha,what kind of gas mileage do yo uget?
with my cutout open and in boost, i get about 300 km's to 70L of premium in my 2J aristo.
the V8 can't be much worse than that, and i'm sure you can get away with using midgrade easier than you can on the turbo

Yeah? Well still waiting on the rims, Aero kit, Eaton M90 kit ... so the car is still in fairls stock form. No headlights in the car right now as I've been working on them for a while now. If you do want to see it I will be at Tunerworks in calgary on Tues at 4pm to pick it up. Fujitsubo Legalis Super R catback goes on then.
