I'm over here from LOC (www.clubaristo.net) and figured it would be polite to show the project i'm working on with my JZS161 Aristo. You will recognise these as a JZS160 GS300, but it has the 2JZ-GTE engine in it...the same one found in the Supra TT. And so we begin...
I previously owned a 300bhp Nissan 200SX (s14a) which was a fully modified drift car. It had Tein coilovers set to hard. It had a very aggressive Cusco mechanical 2 way diff. It was very loud with its straight through 3" exhaust system, and it had a massive bodykit and sponsorship decals all over it!
Did i mention that this car was my daily driver and that I work as an estate agent? Yes, I did take clients out in this car!
It got to the point that I was clamouring for something a little more sensible, but still unique. I had noticed the VIP car trend in the US and Japan, but had yet to see anything like that over here in the flesh that I could buy. So i was resigned to buying something like an M5 or an RS6 Avant when I reached 25.
Then I saw a thread on Driftworks, when Phil Morrison was putting his JZS161 Aristo up for sale. It style caught my eye...it would be the perfect car for me. Tuned turbocharged engine. Subtle bodykit. VIP style wheels. This was a one off opportunity so I went ahead and bought it.
