Default Just Another Newbie

Hello to all

Ive had a Aristo/GS300 for the past year.
So far all i have done is fix the few problems that were wrong with it when i brought it, but now that is done the bug is starting to bite. the car is and will forever remain a daily driver and workhorse. as i go on, i do realize the car will become less practical for particular thing's, but that's the price for this sorta thing.





i hope you guys aren't to offended by my car earning its upgrades

very true, but in all honesty im not really trying to prolong the life of my engine/transmission. im not trying to break it either, but if it dies...... too bad.

It is almost hard not too, considering they are so inexpensive and they will make a big difference. I understand its a work vehicle so more reason to keep it running better and longer.

Nice car, but buy a Hilux if you're going to be doing stuff like that on a daily basis.
