Another AirRide Aristo_147

Maybe it's time to introduce my car..
As title says the car is 1993 Aristo with 2JZGTE. I've owned this about three years now.

I don't know what to say cause my english is not so good, i'm Finnish =)

Few pics from the past and what car is now.

No they aren't, residential areas are full of potholes and speedbumps... well I wouldn't even call them speedbumps because they are usually about 10-25cm high :pat:
But inner cities are a tad better, still lousy, combination of road work, ground frost damage and awfull executions of road planning...

Thode bastards stopped me yesterbay, but their problem was my front sideglass tints..
So today i took them all away and car looks like an aquarium now =)

Looking to the future... Interior needs definitely more leather, stock seats looks awful. And bumpers needs some adds or customing. Exhaust tips needs to change too. Those looks like too race.

Japanese like to keep all the cool shit to them selves, just like the V8 AWD Aristo with stock air susp.

OMG must be a beast of a car!!!

It's hard for people to try to be objective about subjectivity, but I'll give it shot...

I'm a firm believer that you do as you please with your hard earned $$ and I also love people who deviate from the norm, that being said, what's up with the roof liner? Is there something we dont know about ur car or about ur personality that made u choose that pattern? It's definitely out of place but if something made u chose that theme then thumbs up!!!

I didnt like neither one of the wheels you've had on ur car but that's just an opinion... and according to what some ppl say about my wheel taste you're doing good... lol... however, the wheels on the first post what are they? They reminded me of my dad's old Nissan Sunny... old school BBSs? I couldnt really tell...

Finally I wanted to say that I love both performance & the VIP style, that's why I own both a TT 300zx & an M45... so I fully understand what you're doing, but I believe that the VIP table (which btw is gorgeous) next to ur exposed gauges seems tacky and very, very out of place... maybe fab something so u can hide & expose the gauges at will!!!

Other than that, love the car man!!!

How cool! My rear tire slipped off during acceleration :pat:
Maybe the pressure was fallen.. ? Three weeks ago we put 3,5bar to in it.
To the new tires i'm going 4bar and check it EVERY week. It's easy when you have tank in trunk, but i'm just too lazy =)

Doesn't look like the inner barrel has taken much damage, only some rash. Luckily nothing else happened :saiyancrunks:
