  1. New to the forum and to the toyota/lexus community about a year ago. I imported a 1994 Toyota Aristo 3.0V in near mint condition and only 40k Miles. Interior needed a little bit of work, one ot the side panels had to be replaced so I sourced one from a junkyark and switched my fabric over turning out quite nice I think. And my drivers side floor mat had a large stain that ended up coming out with lots of aggressive scrubbing. Engine and transmission were issue free, except some oil changes for the sake of keeping the car current and up to date on maintenance. Suspension is Tein coilovers that were sitting a bit low for the area I live in, so I raised the suspension about an inch and then got the alignment just right. Replaced the front and rear brake rotors, pads were basically new but rotors were worn and a bit pitted from long term storage. Some elbow grease and hard work has resulted in a car thats been an absolute pleasure to drive for several thousand miles across several states and into Canada on vacation. Boarder Patrol didnt give me a fit but sure was surprised to be talking to my wife/passenger at the checkpoint instead of me. Definitely the most comfortable car I have ever owned or cruised in, with plenty of power to boot from the twin turbo engine. Doesnt seem like this thread gets updated very often, but I am happy to be here and possibly contribute some mechanical help or import help to anyone of need.
