Default New to ClubLexus. 1992 Aristo.

Hey everyone, a friend of mine referred me to the site so I checked it out and had to sign up! Just a couple pics of my Aristo and what I've done. I'm building the car on a pretty light budget.

1992 Toyota Aristo

2JZ-GTE
Apex'i intake
HKS Front mount intercooler
HKS EVC IV Boost Controller
PLX devices Wideband O2 sensor with display
1 off custom 3" stainless downpipe
HKS 3" stainless exhaust splitting into dual 2.5" from midpipe
18x8J +45 (kinda weak i know, but they were cheap) Work Euroline DH on all 4 corners wrapped with Nitto Invo tires.
+20mm hubcentric wheel spacers
Slotted front rotors
AP racing brake pads up front and Akebono pads out back
Tein Comfort Spec coilovers (the gold aluminium bodied ones not black steel)
5000K HID conversion.

Thanks man, I guess it would be a good time to put up the future mods.

I have all the parts ready to go for a single turbo conversion as my front turbo isnt feeling too good anymore.

Stainless tubular manifold, heatwrapped
40mm external wastegate
