Jimmy's Aristo Build

[JZS_147]

So when i first got this car, it was a dirty old dog, let me digress;

This is what the car looked like when it came to Canada






Somewhere between the previous owner, and the day i went to see it this happened:


The night i brought her home










Specs:
-91 Aristo V
-Garson VIP kit
-Work Meister 18x10 18x12
-Leather
-Swapped to 5spd
-1.5 way diff
-Blown kei office coils



The bad:
-no 3rd gear, transmission is fucked
-diff is leaking
-rear brake calipers are slapping the rims because they're missing bolts
-blown coilovers
-strut mounts are toast
-blown turbos
-blowing oil
-front and rear bumpers were ripped off
-car was previously pink, was coated with a shitty black paintjob which is now peeling
-needs a lot of body work
-turn signal lever broken
-extremely cloudy headlights
-stock exhaust system with weld on mufflers, mufflers are rusted and have holes in them
-coilpacks are cracked
-extreme p/s leak
-all 4 rims are bent, 2 front tires are flat

So i spend a week working on it, getting it semi decent for the car club cruise to sylvan lake, here is the result;










-USDM steel turbos
-Custom downpipe
-HKS exhaust system
-Bridgestone NPG coilovers
-Put the bumpers back on
-duct taped the giant crack in the wing (yes i know, still ghetto)
-fixed brakes
-fixed diff seal
-new coilpacks, plugs, connectors, bypass hoses, valve cover seals
-flush all fluids and replace with OEM toyota fluids (except engine oil)
-polish headlights and replace with HID's
-new tires and fixed 2 of the 4 rims
-HKS Fcon Vpro
-HKS boost gauge
-brake upgrade
-replaced tranny and redid the swap properly










So i also decided to mess around on the track for a couple nights

Is that a D-Max VIP Front Table? If So I wonder what the one for my car looks like...

[JZS_147]

It's a Garson D.A.D table, got an extra one for JZS147 if you want it :P

Nice build! That table is awesome

[PremiumRSX]

Definitely my favourite Aristo!

I've driven this car before it was Jimmy's... I want...

[bubbley]

Sick cant wait, are you keeping it black?

[JZS_147]

yup, she's going to get a fresh coat of black in the spring.

[scat19]

Are you keeping the spoiler? Is it 3 piece?

[JZS_147]

yup keeping the batwing as well, it's a 3 piece, but it's molded to the body.

Some more pics:


Pulled the front of the engine all apart, cleaning everything, getting it ready for the new waterpump, torsional damper, cams, cam gears, timing belt, and back plate.

turbo's are coming off next so i can test fit my setup and get my downpipe fabbed up.

[JZS_147]

[5fivespeed]

[JZS_147]

well i finally got those wretched twins off, and i just test fitted my turbo to see what it would look like under the hood. still need to clock it, and get my custom manifold mocked up, but it'll look nice when it's done!

[Freestylin]
