My light doesn't come on when you press the button although the light comes on momentarily when you put the ignition on - I assume this means it doesn't work!

The multitude of unmarked buttons is confusing me! What does the red button next to the automatic gear shift do? Marked in Japanese. Should a light come on on the dash when i disable the traction control. Want to get some new wheels what offset/pcd is required and what size tyres with 8 x 18 wheels? Thanks for your continuing help

Collected my Aristo last night from Leeds and drove it back to Surrey. I'm well impressed! Quiet, smooth and pokey for such a big car. Pretty mint, needs small amount of paint on 1 wing and the temperature gauge only works some of the time - good value for £2200 I thought. I'll take some pics when (if!) it stops raining. A few questions - 1. How much do they weigh? (mark 1) 2. How does the cruise control work? 3. Nothing seems to tell me whether traction control is on or off - should there be a light somewhere? 4. Will Lexus badges go straight on the original grill or would I have to buy a complete grill?

Thanks for the advise so far, only going to be looking for mild mods at the moment so I think the Eibach springs, will be a good start and some rims to get her looking a bit less plain. On the engine side of things an air filter is a must and is it ok to just remove the cats? Is there anybody who can just remap the standard ecu for a bit more fuel and boost, I haven't got the funds for boost controllers and fcd at the moment as I have a couple of other projects on the go that I need to finish first - what boost do they run standard by the way? I see superchips do a chip - anybody tried it. 35 bhp increase seemed a bit lame! I'm collecting the car at the weekend so will take some pictures and post next week.

Hi there to everyone on the forum - I've just bought a Aristo Vertex twin turbo and had a few questions. Firstly what would you say was the right price for a 93 car 79k in excellent condition. Secondly I know its the same engine as the Supra but what are the recommended initial mods to liberate some more power - air filter and chip with small boost increase? What do you guys recommend/run? Thirdly wheel sizes - those standard rims look a bit lost, what have people found to be a good compromise between ride and handling. And lastly any mild suspension upgrades you would recommend - want to keep it comfy but looks like it could definitely do with a reduction in ride height. Oh and one more thing - any common problems I need to look out for. Thanks in anticipation for your help
