Yes, Saleen Man, I have a new car. It's a 1995 Lexus GS300(Touring Edition).


Hopefully the pic attaches. It's of my desktop(which is a pic of the car)...

nice!

tell me the first mod you'll do is get a set of new wheels!

i can't stand 3 spoked wheels, even on a Viper RT/10...

then again i'm not normal, so...

Josh- Thought that was your parents car?

Uh, no. My mother and stepmother have had Lexus's in the past, but not this one.

The thought has crossed my mine a time or two, but I'm not sure. I hated the wheels when I first saw the car, but now they've grown on me. If I do get some, the size will only increase an inch up to 17's probably.

wheels are expensive, that's for sure...

if i ever replace the wheels on the new car, they'll be 17s as well... 1 inch more seems to work well.

A lil' under $20,000. '95 w/less than 60k miles. Perfect condition Haven't found a thing wrong with it, yet.

 

[Josh]

Prrof, there is actually a Touring package.

17's would probably still look small on my car, but it doesn't matter to me. I'm not tryin' to roll on "dubz". I just don't want stock wheels, especially tri-stars.

I guess that means you got a lot left over? Any plans for mods? Besides the wheels?

i can't stand "dubs" either...

i've got loads of plans, though...

17'' Volk CE28N with Falken Azensis'es
H&R coilovers
Tanabe Exhaust, DC header...

and lots more...

but my first mod will be either a Pioneer or Clarion head unit... Honda's stock one sucks, and that's good for every model, IMO

Nope, but my Father and evil ass stepmother have some that was left-over.

damn i hate it when it happens!

i'm doomed by that song... i have a part of the lyrics in my head, but i don't remember the title and who sang it! it's something i had on my computer a real while ago, when i was on a 14,4!

 

[Josh]

I want some Volk GTN's... They look awesome IMO, but I've never seen a GS300(or any 4-door family boat) with them on, so I don't know how they'd look.

yeah, they're awesome! i think i saw some on a WRX, but that's not exactly a boat...


i'll check some Japanese websites to see...

according to the listing chart on Rays Engineering's website (Volk Racing's subdivision...) they'll fit the Aristo (which is a GS in Japan)

but there's no pics of them on...

I've seen a few RSP Supra's with GTN's, just no 4-door cars. I found this pic of a lexus with some Volks, but not GTNs, and notice the 'Lude in the background. It looks nice, but it's not black.

 

[-Fred-]

there's always these: Rays Genome...

that's too bling bling, though, IMO

i had that pic for a long while!

to hell with the 'lude, just give me the NSX!

i believe this GS400 is Tony Hawk's personnal ride, but i'm not sure...

he has one of these, however

Nice, but notice the 'Lude? How about the NSX?

 

[Josh]

Those actually looks pretty cool. Don't look "right" on a big 4-door IMO, but they're still cool wheels. And yeah, they're too "blingy" for me too. I want something that's not so "flashy."

goddamn ****!!! look at these prices! 975$ for both exhaust and header!!!

i'm not going into Mugen anymore!

 

[Josh]

I knew you guys were gonna say something 'bout the NSX!

 

[-Fred-]

did you notice the NSX, the Prelude and the GS all have Volk wheels?



must be some sort of marketing trick...

Obviously. The 'Lude is nice though. In fact, they're all nice.

that's the first time i see a 93 Prelude Type-R

which is kind of weird, because Honda didn't have any ideas of Type-R models back then...

I'll alwaya "plan" on swapping the 2JZ-GE out for a 2JZ-GTE, but I'll never go through with it. Maybe an intake/exhaust, and some other ****, but not too much.
