2000 Toyota Aristo JZS161 TTE "Princess"
Such a special car and my much loved "Princess".............I feel so fortunate to own this car even though I have a passion for GTR's. My partner Andy and his friend Brandon imported the car from Trial in Osaka back in 2006. The intention was to sell it to another friend but when his finances fell through the Aristo sat around for sale for nearly 12 months with nobody willing to pay decent money for a grade 5 non accident JZS161. Andy and I fell in love with the car and Brendan kindly sold it to us for a very sharp price. Since then she's been treated to only the best Japanese parts to compliment the factory modifications that the TTE models received. Not many cars I know of had coil over suspension and stainless steel brake hoses from factory - no cert needed which was nice :)
Power is currently 270kws at the wheels which is the safe limit of the standard ceramic turbo's.
Eventually I'd love to fit a JZA80 6 speed Getrag and the matching Torsen LSD but that will have to wait with it being such an expensive exercise!
Family car motoring that myself, Andy and my daughter Savaanah can enjoy all together ;)
