Bosozoku Alphard

[HB2K]

Hi everyone

 

I've finally gotten round to joining the forum after purchasing my first Alphard during the November lockdown last year. A 50,000 mile 2007 3.0 V spec. 

 

Due to the rather unusual circumstances of purchase from the importer, it was only after it was delivered that I realised I had unwittingly purchased an example of what you is rather a rarity in the UK but still quite common in Japan: the modified MPV - complete with tinted windows, Tein electronically adjustable coilovers and an aftermarket exhaust. 

 

The vehicle was riding too low for UK roads when I got it (there are lots of speed bumps in my corner of SW London, which it had real trouble with), but after a visit to Abbey Motorsports in Surrey it is sitting much more comfortably - and the exhaust makes a rather enjoyably fruity noise on start up and under acceleration. 

 

If anyone else has a similar set up I'd be interested to know what has been done - and what other mods people may have gone for!

 

Cheers
