Yes, I sold my S13. Which made me sad.. But I thought it was time to move on, I was kind of interested in VIP cars without wanting to own one.
-5 camber and bags are nothing I'd go for.
But having a sedan with loads of power in a car that looks like your every day family carrier was a nice idee.
As I had a look at japanese auctions I found the Toyota Aristo, which caught my eye with its looks and caught my heart as I found out that its powered by the legendary 2JZ GTE. And it even had this engine before it has been thrown into the MK4 Supra.
First step was buying a daily, I found a 320i, which was a bargain considering how well it was treatened.
It looks like a bit like this with uglier rims:
I registered on the aristoclub.net and jzs14.com.au for more informations and met 2 german aristo owners. Which are like the only people in Germany owning one.
After several weeks I got the offer to buy one of these Aristos that are already imported and MOT'd (TÜV). After having a look at the car and test driving it, I bought it the same day and drove it home.
I was shocked that the engine is such a monster! As the weight is similiar to the supra, I thought it may be a bit too heavy and won't accelerate that hard.
Sadly it became obvious that there was coolant leaking. So its off to a garage to swap the old turbo lines for new ones.
Facts are:
1992 Aristo,
100.000 km,
all services just done,
front suspension has been refurbed,
stock hifi system with subwoofer and cd changer,
16" ugly Lexus rims,
Blitz ECU with FCD,
ARC LLK,
KYB suspension,
LEDs all over the place (white ones)..
As this thread would be worthless without pics, here are some fast ones I took after it arrived at my place.
