i think it is a hit or miss. like you said, some do some dont. is your friends a V, S, Grande?? that might make a difference.

yes the Aristo was a nice BIG car but i like the agility of the Mark II. i still miss the Aristo sometimes.

Oh man, Congrats on your MarkII.

They are still one of my favorite cars that I have owned to this day.

I had 2 Mark II ( both GX 90 series, one was 2.5G and Glorie which is Diesel Turbo version) and 2 Chaser (both diesel, and one was stick shift) in the past while I was living in Asia.

I loved them so much.

Congrats again.

i dunno how it works with Y plates, but good luck passing the "shaken". You're screwed if you get pulled over w/o a cat. My grandfather had a JZX90 and it was really more agile than my old Aristo V300. He also had a UCF21 but those were a friggin boat of all Toyota sedans lol.

His car is a Tourer V.

btw, the 1st gen Aristo is nice, but we can only bring in the 3.0V or the 4.0 Zi-FOUR into Australia under SEVS, not the 3.0Q.

your grand father is a pimp!!! the shaken is no big deal. they dont give us too much of a hassle. the car looks stock except for the muff so that helps too.


on a side not i added an Apexi intake the other day. sounds nice except the BOV is louder (my non car loving buddy says my car sounds like it sneezzes every time i get off the throttle). now i need an LSD to help the launchto 60kph spin. i hae the way the trac cont kicks in and kills the engine responce. any ideas where to get one?
