wow that looks good didn't think you could own cool cars like that

 

Here is the GS FSport shift ****:

 

And here is the footbrake pedal from Altezza - The part number is 3132153010 and it looks like this:



Unfortunately, this part is not direct fit, some custom work is needed. Cut a metal plate and weld a bolt to it, insert the plate into the aluminum part from the back side, add washers and tighten the nut.





The result is a nice completed set of pedals - as it should be from the factory (sorry for the dirty floor mat)

 

FINALLY, after FOUR months of waiting, my Medallion Touring exhaust and Strut tower bar from Tanabe have arrived!!!

Here are pics of unboxed Sustec Strut Tower Bar:

























The weight of aluminum bar is pretty low )

Pics of exhaust will be posted soon.

 

$h!t happens (((

 

ouch! i hope your okay.

 

Thanks, I'm fine. Not a single scratch or injury. Lexus is a true safe car )

 

damn. that's tough to see, but glad you're ok

 

damn man.! dolboyobi raznei bevayut, zalko tachky!
are you gonna get one more or whats next ?

 

Thanks for your condolences, guys!

Gonna repair it, the car is fresh, a bit more than 25k km.

 

Ouch! All that matters is that you're safe!

 

My car is waiting for repair now, and another package from Japan has arrived - PIAA H-595 Tera Evolution T16 LED for reverse light. 6 LEDs in one bulb, 230 lm brightness, 6000k color. This LED will complete the PIAA-made exterior and interior lighting of the car.















Still Made In Japan )

 

Car looks great!!!

I noticed you are dropped on Tein H Tech springs. Is that a .8 inch drop in front and .6 inch drop in rear?

Your car looks way lower than that for some reason. Any comments or opinions on your drop?

Thanks

 

Thanks for the compliment )

Yes, the springs are H Techs, but the are JDM -25 mm and -20 mm - lower than USDM ones, which give 0.8 and 0.6 inches of drop. TEIN doesn't offer S Techs in Japan for 3IS, so JDM H Techs are something between USDM H Techs and S Techs.

 

Good news, the crash has not affected the body geometry - the broken parts just screwed off and replaced with the new ones. The car should ride like a new one after repair.




Meanwhile another box of small and nice parts is shipping from Japan - some of them will be the first on this forum )
