my new Lexus Gs300 - nathan-76 - 17-10-2018

here,s the first pics of my new 97 Gs300 SE that i bought standard about a month ago.
its done 100K miles but is a totally immaculate 13 year old car with every extra and a silky 2JZ-GE toyota lump
i love it (apart from 22mpg) but cant leave anything alone so ive already added a few personal touches.

8.5+9.5x18" cruize sakura alloys with 235/265 tyres and new bolts.
smoked side repeaters, de-tangoed front indicators and chrome bulbs (i HATE orange lights)
new cambelt kit, alt belt, plugs, all filters and oils replaced.

and this weekends latest mod, 3" of snow.

i think next on the list are some -35mm springs.
it desperately needs lowering for the looks but living in "pot-hole-county" i,m not 100% convinced. i dont want to wreck it.

hope you like :wink:

looking good, the snow mod is awesome must have taken you ages though :LOL:

you cant go wrong with the 2JZ-GE it is a tough engine, same as in my is300, i put a K&N typhoon induction kit on it and the sound is nice . .

i was going to fit an induction kit but i think i,m going down the drilled stock airbox route with k+n panel filter.
one thing i do want to loose though is the inlet resonator box as ive heard this makes a big difference to the noise.

that could be why it sounds good on the typhoon kit as it does away with the lot, has a pipe from the K&N at the front right to the inlet.

there is pictures in my profile of the engine bay in my album :wink:

if you do decide i got it from these http://www.fasterfilters.co.uk/

they were ALOT cheaper than anywhere i could find at the time, even ebay!!

my new Lexus Gs300 - nathan-76 - 18-10-2018

looks good.
i have a mate who makes custom exhausts and i recon he can knock one of those up.
add a universal cone filter and i,m probably looking at £30 all in.

now theres an idea Confusedneaky2:
