Hello from Australia

Hey Guys been lurking around for a while and thought i'd finally sign up.

My names Jarrod and i live in Melbourne, Australia

Have been a big fan of the VIP scene for several years and have been waiting for the right car to become available for import.

The day finally came that the model i wanted became available to import into Australia so i made my move and bought a car.

Its a 2003 Toyota Crown Athlete V Premium
-Pearl white in colour
-1JZ-GTE 2.5L VVT-I Turbo
-4 Speed Auto
-Sunroof
-Black marble interior with cloth seats (leather adds alot more $$ )
-RSR coilovers

Plans:
19 x 9.5 +23 and 19 x 10.5+29 Junction Produce Scaras (Been my favourite wheel for 5-6 years)
Some form of Air suspension (looking into airREX)
Few interior goodies
Nice sound system
Exhaust system
Front mount intercooler
