aristo is just a 4 door version of the supra, but are VERY hard to get in manual with the 3L TT 2jz

legnum is a station wagon AWD 2.5L TT and are fairly easy to get in manual

all depends what you are after

you want a wagon or sedan?

2j will outperform a 6A13 (?) with a few simple mods, and has more aftermarket support available in AUS. Mind you, the yanks go crazy for those engines and there is a pretty good market for parts over there.

Legnum's go very hard, just a wagon version of a vr4, but still no contest for a 2jz . . .

Legnums are a bitch to work on and dont respond very well to modification. The 2J is a much better engine, and the Aristo is a much better car in all areas.

And I have one for sale.

But really, steer clear of the Mitsi.

Sorry to Misti lovers.

Aristos are ALL automatics, unless converted. Only a small fraction of Legnums are manual too, most have the tiptronic.

Legnums are wagons, they're lighter, better on fuel. Aristos are heavier, use more fuel.

aristo = RWD drifto
legnum= AWD grip

^^^^^
not exactly fair un modded legnum vs modded aristo
u can get alot of very nice kits for the legnum and i happen to know legnums take very nicely to massive single turbos straped to the side of them
but with all imports u gotta find the right place to get them from
have had some mates get a import and have nothing but problems and some get them and i have no problems and the car goes like a bat out of hell

If your located in Qld - Go see Motorman imports 3679 Pacific Highway Slacks creek (located on the service road)

They have a Legnums in stock. Aristos, for what you pay, they are OLD for what you pay for. Legnums, most are late 90 models (ie 96 on wards) and they are alot more comfortable and alot more of a practical vehicle.

They come out both auto and manual, with your fancy options of leather interior and sunroof etc.

If i had the choice, i'd go the legnum, as i said, pop into motorman and have a look at the range they have. Basic mods yet soo effective and make the car stand out that little bit more to any other car on the street. Aristos are just the flavour of the month, they'll get old and be boring soon, were a legnum, easier to sell at the end as it can be a family car or a fun practical car

Aristos are a very nice car, sleeper look and can't go past a 2JZ engine. Although have to agree they're becoming the common thing. This mitsu looks like it has potential, can start your own trend.

There was a Aristo and Legnum at Willowbank tonight! Think they both ran mid to high 14's. Legnum looks pretty cool but is hard to go past a 2J equipped vehicle.

I would go the aristo. A friend was looking into trading in for a 18k legnum. I read some reviews on carsurvey.org Seems they are Shiet!

I'm kinda in the same position i wanna get a new car in the new year and i love the Aristo's but a wagon would be sweet. And the Legnum's can look pretty good especially the white one.

Go the 2J. Aristos are quite cheap for what they are.
