Hello new Aristo fan

Jester21 · Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 4:12 pm Post subject: Hello new Aristo fan

Hi All, my name is Jerry

I'm from the South East suburbs of Victoria, married and work of telecommunications company.

I currently own a 99 WRX and 86 Toyota Supra as a daily driver, however as the Aristo bug has hit me I am in the process of selling the WRX as I have an Aristo arriving on Australia shores in a few weeks. Some of the cash I get for the WRX will go into the Aristo.

My love for the Aristo began with my love for the 2JZ Supras, as I was a huge Supra fan during my Uni days, but needed something with 4 doors and a bit more VIP. Thankfully Toyota answered my needs with the Aristo and it has the Supra heart. Always been a Toyota fan so I am glad to be owning another one.

Can't wait to get mine soon, here is a pic from JSpec

I think the rims on it are 18s, but will hopefully get some 19s or 20s, black or grey deep dish with chrome lip. And also an exhaust is on the to do list when I get my hands on it. Has anyone used Magnaflow on an Aristo??

Thanks Gabor

Yeah its a 95.

Looking to get exhaust, and also some 19s or 20s, but will wait and see how the rims look when it arrives. Still a long way to go before it hits our shores, but really excited and haven't stopped surfing the web for any mods I can do.

nice!

Very nice. I get jealous everytime I see crystal clear headlights on Aristo's. Mine were like that, until they tarnished badly within a year. It must be something to do with the Australian climate...

Well done.

Thanks guys, really looking forward to having it on shore and sharing my experiences with it.

Yeah Daz, definitely hope to seeing you around as well. I'm just at Noble Park and work at Mulgrave, so just nearby.

Thanks Peter for the pics, I like the way Magnaflow sounds so definetly will be going with them. Did you paint the pipes black yourself? And also picked your own tips, I can see from the pics that the have been welded on, thats what I did with my Supra.

Just received some good news from JSpec, it will be on ship by this Friday 18th and ETA is 5th May. Really happy with the quick turn around specially I just sent money transfer on Monday 14th.

Looks like a good example of an Aristo you got yourself. It’s a great car, in my OPINON the best sedan in the world for the price.

Jester21 · Posted: Sun May 25, 2008 8:36 pm Post subject:

Thanks Quinn

Yeah I was very pleased about the overall condition of the car. It was very straight and no major issue with the body of the car. Putting clear side indicators for compliance instead of the normal yellow ones.

Interior needs a good shampoo and steam clean, previous owner was a smoker!!
