Just in case anyone is interested...... A Sleeper
Hi guys,
As well as the Honda S2000 I have just bought I also own a Toyota Aristo V300 Twin Turbo (400bhp) . It is a rare car in the UK and only available as an import.
the Honda S2000 is certainly quite a change!!!!! LOL
Car was totally standard when I got it!
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

Sorry............ hadn't realised people!! I appologise. I have removed my link 
SORRY!!
Now that I have worked out what CIHAGM stands for....
you can have a go but I hope to have sold it by next week.
The reason I am getting rid of it is because I want something totally different and more fun at slower/normal speeds. The Aristo is just waking up at 50mph+

Are you from newcastle? Envy have one too.
My friend had one and it was similarly modified, but it was no where near as far as our mates subaru P1.
Its a nice car, comfortable, nice inside but terrible on fuel and weighs a hell of alot. He says its just he supra lump.
If i wasnt bothered about mpg i think I'd have one

You are correct the car does weigh alot - offically 1680kg and yes, against a subaru/evo off the line they would have you beat, but mid-range to top range the Aristo really is great but by the time you get that you are doing highly illegal speeds and the Evos/Subarus are running out of puff (but I can't afford to loose my license so don't go that fadt!).
In fact I actually wanted to get an Evo 8/9 before I got the S2000 but then fancied something different and I have never had a soft-top before so decided to give it a go.
The fuel economy I don't find too bad actually. If you drive off boost and take it easy you can get almost 400mile per tank on a run (75litre) tank, but if you keep using the turbos then it does SUCK the juice!
PS I shall get the paid membership sorted too

Not from Newcastle but I assume you are talking about the Black Aristo that Gaz from Envy had? I have bought a few bits from him! He sold his car a long while ago mate.

Looks similar to a Legacy B4 RSK I drove a couple of weeks ago.
It went like stink, but the steering was so light, I couldn't tell if the wheel was connected to the tyres!
Liking the V300 though, you must have spent a fortune on her.
