Yep, If I remember correctly, they're 15mm front and rear. The back looks a little sunken in though.. probably would have been better to go 5mm more in the rear.

i was SOOOOO bout to say that about the motor. And i do see the BBK peeping through

so how much you want to sell for??
NEVAR! i love this car ... the day I have to part with it and come home is gonna suck

酷 means COOL.... Haven't been surfing this forum for over 2 years, nice to see a fellow V300 owner posting pics up here. It's great to know there are still many people who loves their 2nd Gen GS; we hardly ever see any Aristo V300 in HK these days.....

Its weird how this car never caught my attention when I lived in Vancouver. It's definitely surpassed my expectations.

You can get blackwood in america. It is only found on the sport design model of the gs300.

The 430 is very nice as well. theres only a 0.3sec difference in 0-60 times in a stock 430 vs a GTE.

but i noticed you have supra calipers (or netz sports) on your aristo. do you have any spacers? from what i have been informed is that there is no clearence for the calipers but i clearly see them on your car with the stock wheels.

I like the side markers. Nice & clean ride.

I've driven in HK a few times, it's very intimidating compared to traffic in Vancouver.

Let's see some pics of your 161! How much boost you pushing with e-manage? I want to get to that point eventually after I get some stuff fixed on mine. I need a new radiator and it appears to be running lean for some reason.

I actually see quite once in a while. Most of them at least have rims, sus and a BBK. I saw Aristor's old car yesterday actually, that thing is gorgeous.

I'm running hubcentric spacers with extended studs both front and rear. The brakes were already done when i got the car, so i'm not completely sure how thick they are, but i'm guessing they're 15-20mm. They stop hard but pedal feel is a little soft for my liking though... probably gonna look into SS lines eventually.

I drove a small Honda for the first year here. It freaked the crap out of me at first, but you get used to it - just gotta rely on your mirrors a lot.

I find for the most part, drivers here are MUCH more alert, and respond better to traffic situations a lot better than Vancouver drivers.

Wow, car looks stunning. I really like the brake setup and the looks of it. Maybe someday I will go to HK hopefully.
