Ngl I'm happy that this car is underrated and most people don't know about it

[@divin3kag3242]

toyota definately didnt miss with the aristo v300

[@masteryoda498]

I believe the Aristo is a Toyota badged Lexus GS300, and that 3.0 litre in line six cylinder is a gem of an engine. Toyota/Lexus are absolute automotive masterpieces of Japanese engineering. Beautiful car, lucky you.

[@spaceboatt]

Thank you 🙏🏼 The GS300 is actually a rebadged Aristo, as the Aristo came out two years prior to the GS. They are amazing cars, I have little to no complaints. One being they didn’t come in a factory manual transmission option.

[@masteryoda498]

@@spaceboatt May I ask, has your Aristo been reliable?

[@spaceboatt]

It has been reliable outside of some age/mileage wear issues. The throttle body gave out so I had to replace that, as well as the radiator because the plastic tank started leaking. Only other thing i’ve done I had the timing and water pump service done, that’s more preventative maintenance rather than necessary.

I have the same model V300 JZS161 Aristo with the number plate RAR 1570 = R ARI570 Mine is year 1999 and it is only done up to 70,000Km only with original paint. It is my spare car and I love this car so much. Everything is stock condition.

Makes me miss summer.. (My Aristo is still in winter storage :P )

[@chrisej207]

Its not often they get noticed. I was recently offered cash for my Aristo on sight.

[@chayce2266]

Soooo dope bro!! Good to finally see an American review after the 25 year law. I'm excited for you bro, I can't wait to get mine

[@djjerryspringer4840]

I just bought me a gs300 I love it my first mod is gonna be loud muffler 😁

[@spaceboatt]

congrats bro! whatever you do keep your resonators in, it reduces the rasp you get on the GE engines. All I have done to my GS300 is a rear muffler delete with 4.5in tips and it’s loud while still sounding great.

[@ZhavLS4Hunny]

YUPPP SHII WENT HARD, Gotta cruise it soon !

[@endlesssmedia]

This car is baaaaaaaad. I enjoyed this entire video. Super in depth and the car is dumb clean. Excited to see what you do with it and shooting it sometime.

[@spaceboatt]

thank you brother! definitely need to get this thing in front of your lens whenever you’re back in town 🤝

[@turbogears900]

I'm building a toyota aristo myself. I need to make some videos

[@rcktfam]

What a beauty 😍😍

[@gs300]

dream car

[@davaricemayfield2072]

Man beautiful car. I have a GS. What state are you in in bc inwas looking into importing a aristo but didnt know what the imports laws were in here in vegas

[@spaceboatt]

As long as the car is over 25 years old it’s legal to import, as far as registering it that’s where it might get tricky because it won’t pass emissions. For me in AZ, its emissions exempt as long as I have collectors insurance on the car. Which is the kind of insurance you want anyways on these kind of cars, so it works out.

[@turbogears900]

I like to see more of this car

[@bobby-shawnthereal7154]

Just bought one of these last year. I wanted a black one so bad. But ended up with a white one, same specs as yours. Awesome car-good luck with it homie.

[@spaceboatt]

likewise brother! my car was white when i bought it too, originally a silver car. I had it sprayed BMW jet black door jams and all, only thing i’m missing is the engine bay.

[@Broke.s14]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Mr.Chicken815]

You wanted right-hand drive car? Any specific reason? Seems kind of bothersome to get ticket or getting drive in food

[@Tattooed_lowlyfe]

I need to start making videos of mine had it awhile

[@spaceboatt]

i recognize your profile pic, pretty sure i saw you post your car in the forums a couple days ago haha. definitely make some content, your car is clean!!

[@Tattooed_lowlyfe]

@@spaceboatt ty sir looking forward to more of your vids

[@tokyoegg4435]

what exhaust setup is that

[@user-qw3qt7nv6q]

Sup man I am really intrested in getting an aftermarket headunit for my 04' Gs300 can you share more details about this install?

[@spaceboatt]

I am planning on doing a video specifically talking about audio upgrades for this platform, keep an eye out for it!

[@user-qw3qt7nv6q]

@@spaceboatt 👍

[@1DoPeS14]

Brooo I have a 2gs already I want a V300 but these damn Cali smog laws 😫😫😫

[@spaceboatt]

yeah i’m glad there’s a loophole in az otherwise i wouldn’t be able to register this thing lol

[@nathanwalker964]

Where did you get the head unit from?

[@spaceboatt]

crutchfield.com

[@rehmanqureshi1053]

How simple was the BOV install?

[@rehmanqureshi1053]

And how about the head unit install?

[@spaceboatt]

BOV was easy to install, took me 30 mins at the most. head unit was trickier because I couldn’t find any wiring diagrams for bypassing the JBL amp. if you have a test light and some patience you’ll be alright.

[@Mizt_Sim]

Too bad the GS300 never came with the GTE

[@spaceboatt]

i wonder how much a gte model would have gone for MSRP over a 400 or 430 brand new, interesting to think about.

[@Mizt_Sim]

@@spaceboatt according to Google the 400 was 46,000 and the 300 was 37,000, so I’d say 50k-ish considering the difference between an NA Supra and turbo Supra was around 15k. Apparently the V300 was sold for 4.4 million yen which came out to 30k usd so there’s also that. But I imagine not having to import it to a different country means it’s cheaper and also not being labeled the luxury brand.

[@1DoPeS14]

NO NO THEY ARE CHEAP RIGHT NOW DONT SPILL THE SECRET SAUCE 😂😂😂😂

[@voraciousweasel57]

Its just a lexus gs400 lol

[@setheyler7501]

Do you have any social media I could message you on, I’m stationed in Japan rn and just picked up a 98 aristo v300 vertex and have some questions lol

[@spaceboatt]
