Default Hello from Poland!

Finally decided to stop lurking and say hello

After being into German cars for the past few years I turned to some Japanese machinery and bought a 2nd gen GS300 with Aristo swap in mind. There were numerous difficulties with the shop, but finally I got the car and have been enjoying it for about about two weeks now, lol

As for now there is nothing really outstanding about the car - just a few mods apart from a 2JZ-GTE:
- 18" Rays Grammlights,
- Tein coilovers (required rear fenders rolling),
- front mounted Autobahn88 intercooler,
- HKS fuel cut defender,
- random blow-off valve,
- LED taillights.

Currently I am dealing with minor remaining issues here and there. In some perspective I plan to go single.

Sorry for crappy pics, didn't have time for anything more sophisticated.









And this is how the car looks after rear fender rolling and lowering coilovers:



Talk to you soon!

Welcome. Nice ride

Nice draw against England. Loved the Polska fans to sliding across the field in the rain. That was great
