quite a list. some nice scores..
PnP... I was always under the impression that the GReddy intercoolers.. the RSPL was polished, and lower capaciity VSPL was natural finish..
The naked guy.. (
) is in for ride in modding the aristo.. but i dare say that he is in a better position than us in the US market to get er done.. (doh!)
nice choice on the JUN gears.. glad you didnt say HKS.. 100s of problems with them.. mine included. JUN use the factory steel sprocket.
still jealous on that V160..
keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the input guys.
The bits that I've picked up are all of the Japanese Yahoo Auctions and have cost me VERY little, compared to what I would be paying if I wasn't in the business of bringing in gear from Japan
I've heard of probs with the earlier model HKS cam gears, but as far as I know, they released a revised model which doesn't chew out cam belts like the first series did?
The leather interior is a full JDM Aristo set of front and rear seats, plus door cards with the leather inserts. Plug and play
This is the cooler kit, I'd be really surprised if it isn't a direct bolt in - all greddy stuff I've had has gone straight in no problems. My car is a JDM model equipped with the 2jzgte from the factory, so hopefully that will make the difference
Here are pics

I think it should bolt straight up with only require cutting the front bumper to clear the cooler and pipings.

only thing about removing the front bumper support entirely is that you lose a lot of structural rigidity in the frt end. i had a thread on here about it last yr.. experimented.. i made a new frt bumper support and got a lot of road feel and response back that was lost.

Greddy FMIC will bolt right up. the bumper support will get in the way as will the ac dryer but with a careful bending it will fit.
I'm making a custom bumper support to keep structural integrity and also some protection for the FMIC.

For now thats it like you said expensive bumper support ......
I'm making a support and cage that will go across the top of the FMIC so the bumper skin has something to sit on and also mitigate frame flex and some protection for the IC. The concept is like having front pickup truck brush gards thats made to fit inside the front bumper cover. I'll post picks up as soon as its assembled and then when mounted.

Something to look into.

I ordered some sticks to try it out. havn't received it yet. When I do I'm going to experiment to see how easy it is to work with.
