WAS going to ... but the looks + manual box of the Chaser made it the better option. (IMO) |

yeah fair enough, though I've gotta say - I am LOVING the bland looks of the aristo - no bugger looks twice and then WHAM. Bye bye *insert car here*. Only registered a day and a bit and toasted half a dozen cars already  |

I just cant wait to hand my boss's arse to him on a platter!
He thinks his BA GT is unbeatable....till i throw a 1JZ in his face!
He bought it after i just sold my RX7 with 200+ kw atw...and he thinks he would have beet that 
Now i've got the Celsior and it's too slow, so i must mod teh Chaser and rip him a new one!!! |

ah mate, an exhaust, fmic and some more boost will toast a BA easy!
Just watch out for Aristos ;)
200kw atw in any RX7 would slay any HSV or FPV short of the HRT thing they ended up canning. Some guys have NO clue! |

Steve,
Who's complying your 99 Model ?
I wasnt aware that the Emmissions were passed for 1/99 on... Was only able to do upto 12/98 !
As the ADR Rule changed for emmissions on the 1/99. |

Just make sure that you do that first. A stock BA GT will toast a stock 1J powered vehicle. I have driven both, and raced one whilst in the other, if that makes sense?
Nice score though, PICS ASAP!!! |

You may want to be a little careful here...a stock Aristo is a fairly heavy old thing. I thinkin Zoom a while ago they ran a stock one down the motorplex and it was low 15s or high 14s, in which case you would be beaten by a stock Skyline.
Once you mod that 2J however, look out! |

What Luke said. The Aristo is a fatter Soarer with a bigger engine. Must mod less be stuck with stock v8 speed!
Skylines on the other hand come in go-kart-spec GTR. |

Well I own one and I can tell you guys, for all it's extra weight, it's a hell of a quick car out of the box. Sh1t, mine is 14 years old and it absolutely flies. Once I put the front mount, exhaust, Mines and boost controller this thing is going to lay down some serious mumbo.
With the LSD and the new 275s I just put on, she gets off the line rather nicely too |

Yeah i've seen some of there cars
BUT, the car i've have got is in good condition so if they are going to cut corners on the compiance all the better for me as it will be closer to the stock vehicle toyota produced!!
And i will kick heads if they take out the HID's  |

Yeh, just tell them you are WELL aware it has HID's and you don't want them mysteriously disappearing without a trace sometime during compliance. |
