Anees Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi guys, Well I have decided I fancy a change so I am now looking to sell my BPU Toyota Aristo V300. Well since I have had it, I have spent an absolute fortune on it! I will break down what has been done: FIX EXISTING FAULTS: Fix Yellowed headlights Replace Tie-Rods Replace rear suspension arms with genuine new parts (cost £1000! :o) Replace crap standard brakes BRAKES TRD Basic Big Brake Kit (4-pot Supra calipers) 3G/Brembo 20-R Supra sized Brake Discs all round Hawk 'Brembo Spec' Brake pads imported from the US Custom-made Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake hoses Motul Dot 5.1 Brake Fluid Red paint SUSPENSION TRD AntiRoll Bars TOMS ARS Cancellor Bar Tein Flex Coilovers with car lowered all round. Tein Spring sleeves Tein EDFC Controller fitted neatly below drivers side vent Tein Front Strut Brace Rear Strut Brace Front Underchasis Brace EXTERIOR 18" TTE Sport wheels (8.5J front and 10J wide rear) Verdestein Ultrac Sessanta tyres (brilliant!) TTE Front Lip TTE Sports Grill Roof spoiler (brick) Rear LED lights (provided by Prolex) LED Sidelight bulbs (ones that AztecBandit recommended) Personal Plate with Lexus design Square Rear Plate Clear Side Repeaters with silver bulbs POWER AND PERFORMANCE Greddy FCD Defender HKS EVC 5 Boost Controller with two settings (1 bar, 1.2 bar and 30sec 1.25 scramble mod setting) Decat Stainless Steel 3" Exhaust system, with two 4.5" mufflers 3bar Racing Hybrid Manual Boost Controller HKS CAMP 2 HKS Boost Sensor Denso IK24 Spark Plugs Silkolene 10W-50W Performance Oil SMIC condition check up (works great) Motul Diff Fluds Approx around the 400bhp mark. INCAR ENTERTAINMENT Digital TV Phone powered entertainment system with Sat Nav, Internet, videos and music from Nokia phone INTERIOR Hard wired phone charger Leather phone holder Genuine TRD Gearkob Chrome shifter suround Lexus Sports Pedals HKS Camp 2 Tein EDFC Controller fitted below drivers vent HKS EVC 5 Boost Controller fitted into modified ashtray As you can see a HELL of a lot of work has gone into my car over the past year. It pulls like an absolute monster now. I would go as far as saying it is scary fast top end. I was with a mate in his Evo 8 FQ400 a few weeks back and off the line you have no chance of beating him, but we tried on a quiet private road with a rolling start from 50mph and his car just could not pull away! The Evo FEELS so much quicker, but the Aristo really now is stupidly quick at motorway speeds - only trouble is you don't realise that you are tearing up the tarmac because it doesn't shout about it!! BALLISTIC CAR! Also because my car has a SMIC in very good condtion, it operates more efficently then a poorly ducted FMIC and my in-take temps are very good. The HKS Camp 2 I decided to use instead of sticking guages etc on the car because the Aristo I don't think looks right with bits stuck all over the dash! I wanted the car to retain a stock like look so the boost controller can be hidden by closing the ash tray and the EDFC is neatly installed and easy to adjust in its location under the drivers vent - it looks like it belongs! The HKS Camp 2 does give the car a skyline GT-R kind of feel to it - its really cool and links direct to the ODB2 port on the car so I can view loads of diagnostic info and also connects to additional HKS sensors I bought to monitor boost, temps etc. Got a lot of pictures to follow and got some youtube vidoes of my car exhaust and the phone-powered system too http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/1a.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/1.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/2a.jpg http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/2.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/S1031625.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/3.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/4.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/5.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/6.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/7.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/9.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/8.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/10.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/11.JPG MOT - August 2009 Road Tax - August 2009 Mileage - 72300 Arch Lever file full of History (including Jap History BARGAIN PRICE: £7500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 A few mod specific pictures EDFC Controller Expertly placed after a discussion with Steve from Charlesworth Motors in what I think is the perfect place for it! http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/edfc.JPG I have the following settings P1 = Front 14 Rear 14 (Soft) P2 = Front 10 Rear 12 (Medium Hard) p3 = Front 03 Rear 04 (Hard) The Tein suspension totally transforms the beast! Exhaust Sytem T304 Full 3" Stainless Steel system and decat with Dual 4.5" Tailpipes. Sounds wonderful outside the car, yet really quiet inside. Also has some baffles that can be used to quieten it down further so it sounds almost exactly like stock (but I have never felt the need!) http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/exhaust.jpg You tube Video: 5t89jbOO3As Boost Controller Very good boost controller that holds a strong and constant 1.2bar. Can be hidden by closing the ashtray too http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hksevc5.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hksevc52.JPG HKS Camp 2 Full car monitoring system. Looks wonderful on factory screen. http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hkscamp1.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hkscamp2.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hkscamp3.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hkscamp4.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/hkscamp5.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Nokia N95/N96 Powered Car Entertainment System and Sat Nav Used the TV feature of my handset and Garmin Mobile XT to provide Sat Nav. The Sat Nav works well and I can change music tracks too while it is on. Made a very quick Youtube video too: cgtBHz-kplg r8wXENpuPQI http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/carpc1.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/carpc2.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/carpc3.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/carpc4.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/carpc5.JPG Interior http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/interior1.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/interior2.JPG http://www.ranatech.co.uk/aristo/lpedals.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyC Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Lovely car. I wish I could afford it. If I thought I'd get anything for my NA to put towards it then I think I'd go for it. Unfortunately my mrs thinks a vectra would be more suitable for some reason. Probably because of the nipper. Still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
