Default Dropping a line from japan.

Hey guys gotta run real quick, but just saying hey from over here. Made my move from this to...



To this





94 Aristo

So far, coil overs, brembo brakes up front, intake, and ebc. Sitting in the garage for future proejcts is the Fcon, R154 5 Speed, an lsd to test fit.

Plans... Tossing twins and going single, going to have fun dropping in the manual, and tackle a more difficult car to drift. Hope to be here a while guys.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I will be putting up more pictures tomorrow if the rain stops. So far i really enjoy the car, engine has more potential, smooth powerband, and very comfortable... Got tired of the last platform, trying to hold only 400whp i went through 2 engines, 3 transmissions, and many hours under the hood... theres a point where you just say your done.

Man, I'm so freakin jealous, but congrats on the Aristo TT. Everytime I see an Aristo or GS300 with 2JZ-GTE, it make me want to do the swap right away. The reason I wanted so bad because I have a MKIV TT and I love it. It would be so fun having the same motor on a 4 doors, perfect sleeper. Think about it, WRX and EVO both are 4 doors with turbo but a Lexus with twin turbos, you have class, beauty, and power combine. I guess you can't go wrong with that.

As promised here is a quick update of the interior. Trying to find a place to put the gauges... Don't have any idea right now and want to keep the interior clean. Other then the driver seat being a little messed up the rest of the interior is clean. Want to replace that wood grain finish though... Not my style.
