| Steve, it is somewhat quicker than a stock Soarer. Gary, as for the dashmat, I would rather go without, but the reflection from the dash was unbearable, even in winter, so that is the reason for it. |

| When it came to finding the best condition Aristo I could find, I had to settle for doggy dollop brown. But as the interior, and now the exterior are like new, I'm not complaining. |

| By the way, anyone know how to get the fog lights to work? I think they may just be disconnected at compliance. |

| Fog lights- is there a second rotating switch on the stalk? Took me ages to find the switch there in the Nissan... What else is wrong? Someone stole your clutch pedal when it was on the way over from Japan. |

| Ben, you're a hero. That's exactly where it is. Anyone know where I can get some brown tyres? |

| Being a pre '96 Toyota, they possibly aren't fog lamps, but might be turning lamps. Toyota seemed to faze out turning lamps in most models in the mid 90's. |

| Nice car! I have the exact one but only half of it in the workshop LOL! The engine bay is empty though. I see you are using the LEVOC gear shifter? Does that mean that the Aristo shifter is usable in the Soarer? |

| Jason, I don't think it is the same as the Soarer. I specifically ordered the Levoc for the Aristo. Check with others though, as I may be wrong. |

| Ian, the LS was just too slow. Thought about supercharging, but as I already spent $8,000.00 on doing it up, it was simply too much money. Great car nevertheless. Sold it to a guy from Victoria who flew up and drove it home. Clearly he was very happy as he sent me a gift voucher for $100.00. |
