Default Leja145 build

Picked up a 99 GS300 a few months ago with 135k miles. The plan in the long run is to drift the car. So far I have done a decent amount of maintenance: timing belt, water pump, radiator, thermostat housing, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, cam seals, vvti pulley, and alternator. Bc extreme low coilovers are on their way. After that, I will be focusing on the manual swap using a w58 transmission out of sc300. Here is how she looks now:

Too low for my taste, but it looks good.

Like the exhaust! But I think the rear should be raised a bit to just tuck the very top of the tire like Nobuteru's build to even it our. Just my opinion though. Check out his drift Aristo, maybe you can find some inspiration?

thank you. His car is great, but I have a vision of my own. I have many ideas in mind that I will be doing and will be posting on here. I may raise the rear a bit, but love the look of tucking 18's.
