My aristo £5k


dangerous brain

Recommended Posts

It does look mint and has twin turbo reliability rather than single turbo niggles. I simply don't have the time or energy to upkeep a single tubby motor. Its a struggle just to find the time to change the oil and plugs every 3k miles never mind the other bits that always come up. I can see once a year servicing and no niggles ever in a car like that one.

Good sales talk bud:D

Bry, you would do much better to knock up a full advert with pictures, spec and RR figures.

 

I doubt you want a Range Rover do you as I'm tempted to take it off your hands for that money as it's a bloody bargain for what you're getting and the history of the car.

 

You're selling yourself short with an advertisment like that mate.

It is a bit tongue in cheek really. I'll be very honest its experiencing issues of an electrical nature. I'm sure that replacing the transistor in the ECU and cutting the feed from the fuel pump control ecu will fix it but its just another annoyance I don't need. Five grand cash in hand is better for me right now than an aristo sitting on the drive in the winter again especially when I could put some serious mud plugging kit on my mini monster truck :)

The aristo stands me at £14k now and is probably worth £8-10k in a strong market but lets face it, its not a strong market.

PJ if I knew I could easily sell my own range rover I'd take the opportunity to upgrade the range rover but in reality I'd end up getting cock all for that as well.

 

As for the car its THE do-luck aristo. It features on all of their websites across the world.

This is with the old T04R non DBB turbo.

I particularly like this picture because about ten seconds after it was taken I really upset that GT3 owner by utterly handing him his ass on a platter :D

The car also features in Hyper revs magazine in the super demo car range. I think I have a specs list knocking around somewhere. Basics include

Precision BL T67DBB turbo

AEM with HKS DLI

650cc injectors (possibly re manufactured vvti injectors)

Bosch fuel pump (possibly)

HKS fmic

Aftermarket FPR (possibly HKS)

Tubular manifold (possibly HKS)

Aftermarket waste gate (possibly HKS) Needs opening up and cleaning as it doesn't open quick enough on hard acceleration

Full genuine aero wyvern body kit

AAR aftermarket racing front seats

HKS oil pressure, temperature, Boost, Exhaust gas temp, and AEM wideband gauges.

I was told it had a hks rebuilt auto box but there is no proof of that

Do-luck RXB centre strut brace

Water injection

Do-luck turbo shield

18" luxor rims with deep dish at the back

UK spec supra front brakes

The front and back bumpers need a bit of tlc. The back where someone stuck a towbar into it at work and the front where its ground out a bit and broken out the top corners.

wow! Lee! Hiya mate I thought you'd left us for good when you sold up. :wave:

 

PS nice Aristo, £5k sounds amazingly cheap for a single turbo. Somone should buy that and swap engines with their NA Supra, then flog the Aristo. :)

 

Flog the aristo with no TT engine in it? Have you seen how much a lexus GS 300 thats 17 years old is worth ROFL
