Um I'm not sure if I even did this when I joined, so here goes.....better late than never I guess.

Here is a bit about myself....I'm adopted from Thailand & came to good ol Oz when I was 4yrs.
I'm 30 now & have 2 kids, 1 my step son Maison & 4 months ago had my
first son called Lyrik. Bestest feeling!! I have a awesome partner of 3 yrs.
I work in a printing firm and looking to get into security industry maybe next year. I play basketball when I can to keep fit.
Love my UFC but not as much as my Aristo of course.
Best car I have ever owned thats for sure & can't wait to do so much mods to it both cosmetic and mechanical.

Aristo's/GS300's out their,..if you see one & you get a chance, say wassup.
See you all out their

Peace & safe driving all. Smile

Welcome aboard guys!!!!! Very Happy Very Happy

HEAPS OF INFO HERE!

Unfortunately, i find the search function frustrating to say the least. I would recommend trying Google to search the website. It works much better. Use the advance page in Google and type in this website and what you are looking for.

Hey guys, my name is Jason,i am 39 and live in Brisbane.Just picked up my Aristo last week and so far im very happy with the car.

Previous rides are a bit of a mixed bag of makes and models including:

* 1963 Prince Skyline
* 1982 Mazda Rx-7
* 1977 Ford Escort
* 1979 V8 Ford Fairmont

Had heaps of shitty A to B cars as well,looking forward to learning about the Aristo and moding her as it is pretty much stock except for a cat back exhaust.

Cheers Jason.

G'day guys,

My name is Iain and I live near Gosford/Woy Woy on the NSW Central Coast. I've had a long history with Subaru RS Libertys, V8 Holdens and E30 BMWs, but I'm looking for a change to something more comfortable for commuting duties but still have enough grunt to put a smile on my dial. I started looking at JZ-powered MX83 Cressidas, but they're a bit too close to an RS Liberty for me (ie: old and bunky) so i've been looking at JZS147 Aristos and 160/161 GS300s.

I'll be lurking for a while until I sell my current Liberty RS wagon. I sprayed it myself at home (first time i've ever done that), it's got a full 2005 STi Impreza drivetrain (box, diff, cradle, arms, etc) and plenty more mods. It's a lot of fun, but I want something more cruiser-spec than racecar for the road.






Cheers,
Iain

The JDM scene in Canada is mostly Skylines and S13s/S14s since most JDM owners are kids, not sophisticated folk like you or I.

Aristos are usually about 5-6 grand, with some nicer (low miles, super clean, manual swapped, etc) ones around 10 grand.

Some of them died a grisly death and others were way too good to partout. Alot of boys on here own cars ive sourced or done up & either onsold to them or sold as is for cheap.

I love the cars but theyre getting rarer by the day around the world.

Especially with them getting hacked up so importers can have a fresh supply of 2JZGTEs.

Hi, I'm Ken, from Calgary, Alberta Canada, I've got a 6month old little girl, and I work for a food distribution warehouse

I just picked up an Aristo 3 days ago, loved them for ages, and finally got one



my previous vehicles have been
91 buick century station wagon
85 toyota celica
84 toyota supra
85 Supra
84 supra w/ 7mgte swap
2008 ford ranger 3l v6 gas ( our rangers in north america suck)
1994 Toyota Hilux surf 1kz
1992 Toyota Aristo

I traded my surf for the aristo, should have waited a week, cause when I picked up the aristo, it was beautiful and sunny, that night it snowed.. and we had another huge snowfall last night.. the tires on the car right now dont care for the deep snow Razz
