The only thing I like about the 4GS interior is the analogue clock

I added an OBD2 gauge over the useless power meter. this particular model fits nicely over the hole and I just stuck it on using 3M mounting tape. The oil temp is actually the inverter temp PID, the rest is fine.
At least now I know when the engine is running, the stock gauge display is not accurate...

Head gasket leaking on both sides... not too bad for 174,000km

Due to the bad roads around my house... I've gone for a bit of the battlecruiser look with fat tyres 275/35R19 and 245/40R19. The fronts are 25mm taller in diameter compared to the stock 245/40R18s, and so I'm rubbing the inner fender liner on turns.

Used a heat gun and a glass jar to press the fender liners, works quite well.

OK thank you both for letting me know... I think my google photos sharing links all broke... need to figure out another way... annoying!!

I'm going to try and create an album on clublexus... see if that works.

Thanks dude. I just got them. The tires are cheap and I forgot the size but they are Lancaster only like 400 bucks. The rims are Ferrada CM2 in a gun metal with a black chrome lip. 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 rear.
