Yeah there's no doubting it's cool.. Watching Daigo and Taniguchi in these badass Toyotas is whats made me so into my toyotas... But there is also reasons Taniguchi uses his fleet of 3 Altezza's in competition now, and not his Aristo.. And same for Daigo moving away from the huge JZX's...
Iv watched most videos on the net with Taniguchi's aristo in, it does go well but it doesn't transition quick enough, and his is an HKS 'no expense spared' built car..
It's all good and fine until your twinning, but this barge does make life harder than it need be...
Considering I'm using full SXE front hub Assy on my Aristo, and using SXE coilovers, I can just swap my modified shizzle over.
The 1j out the Aristo will go straight onto an SXE subframe after i modify it to sit the engine back and down as far as it will fit, this will be done in a day.. I have to take my engine out the aristo to do all the turbo mods anyway so not really much extra work.
The fact that SXE parts are a lot more available than JZS parts is also a factor in the decision.
