Tranman.. Nice rims.. It's like my B&W twin. The black center really blen well with your car. What size are those?

Do you guys have speed limit cap from factory? Mine is Jap's 180 kmph (111.8mph) cap but I got the car chipped. Fastest I ever done was about 220kmph (136mph) but then I chicken out, not sure what the real limit on the engine.

I'll post the interior later.. Just to share the idea and may be give you some ideas of how we do it in the far east side..

Not sure what our Max speed is but I believe it is 136-140mph. Some interior pics would be nice. Do you have blackwood?

Here is the dash. I got the japaneese on board computer which display, average speed, consumption, time of travel, etc.. very similar to the one I saw in the 3 series... The audio is 5 spekers JBL. The seats are black with grey trim and black wood interior.
What's left for me is the ICE and maybe Borla exhaust (they dont sell borla here so i got to find the way to get them first). The red LED you saw is the Apexi turbo timer. I was trying to keep the interior original and avoid those racing stype meters all across the dash.

Here is the speedo. You can see that the max speed there is 180. When I push it the needle actually went beyond that I got a friend on a 5 series next to me saying it's 220 before I backed off. Do you guy get the balck out speedo too? I don't really know how you call it but it turn completely black when you turn the key off and light up when you turn the key.

The wheel. Do you guy get the tiptronic button on the steering too? The Lexus here don't. (Another reason why I pick Aristo).

black leather grey trim & black wood.
For the max HP. Just got a call from my friend. One of his mate is selling an Aristo. Fully tune by HKS japan. The guy has the car shipped to Japan and HKS japan did all the mod & tuning then ship the car back to Thailand. He said it got about 400+ under the hood. Now that's pretty hardcore. I'll try to get some pics of that car.
Anyone interested?

Why do they get the faster engines overseas, but limit them to 110mph? I think our GS4's go to about 140mph before they hit the limiter.
