Hey yall,

Figured I'd post the build I've been working on for the past couple of years or so. You can keep up with me on ig: @foe.is



If you've been keeping up with other builds on the forum or in the bay area, some things may look familiar... haha!

8/10/2019 - Purchased from Lexus of Stevens Creek, one of the worker's cars there, started to give me ideas, but I was hesitant.

9/03/2019 - WeatherTech Mats

10/19/2019 - Rockford Fosgate P300 Punch 12” subwoofer I had from a previous car.

11/10/2019 - Magnaflow Catback Installed (Welded 2.5”, Res-Delete)



12/21/2019 - 50% LLumar Ceramic Tint



Once the pandemic hit, I didn’t drive much and the car sat for quite some time…

Once restrictions began to soften, I ventured out and met some other like minded folks in the Lexus community and began to take the build a bit further.

Decided I had enough of the monster truck stock height…

08/16/2020 - Enter RSR Downs

09/03/2020 - iJDMToy Yellow Fogs, wired to a janky metal switch at the time…


09/092020 - Ebay CF Spoiler + CF Roof Spoiler, Roof Spoiler had decent fitment, trunk spoiler was 7/10 fitment. Quality on both 7/10 with minor imperfections.

Work Lot Shot - 09/29/2020

10/12020 - Ebay CF Mirror Covers, these were annoyingly hard to get decent fitment with.
10/31/2020 - Purchased a set of Revier Sequential turn signals through FB marketplace, was very excited to get these as I love tinkering with electronics.


Yank off the mirror, 5 bolts later, connect the supplied adapter, verify polarity using a multimeter, and splicer in the connecter properly for the actual light, for me it was swapped on one of the connecters so I had to route red to black and black to red, confusing, but if you check polarity by flashing the lights and looking for voltage you will be ok.

11/2/2020 - Purchased these CF covers from amazon

12/07/2020 - Something came in… Airlift Preformance 3H Kit

012/26/2020 - 3P Portion of Kit is Installed

Specs are as follows: 19x9/10 +32/+40 (225/255 35/30) on Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 tires


01/13/2021 - Broke one of these guys pretty quickly due to not securing my compressors properly.
01/19/2021 - Purchased Rev9 Axle-Back and 2017-29 Diffuser from Numair, these ended up sitting for months…
01/23/2021 - Went to a buddy for a roof wrap, came out decent enough
01/24/2021 - Discovering Lower Control Arm Ball Joint Assembly Bushing is shot resulting in a clunk and low ride quality. I realized I didn’t take photos of the replacement now, but both sides were promptly replaced within the week.

02/02/2021 - 3H Installed by a friend who specializes in height sensor installs.

02/03/2021 - Front Lip is fully broken at this point… lol

10/05/21 - Finally got the Rev9 Axleback on, cut after the res-delete area and used the hose clamps from the Rev9, left out the side with flanges as I didn't want to have to cut more up. I definitely need stiffer hangers now.

1/06/21 - Installed Megan 3IS FUCA, but it seems to have a clearance issue, can’t air out all the way, something hits. Going to try the 2IS arms per the suggestion of a friend who is running them.

1/07/21 - Front does not tuck with 3IS Megan FUCA, 1.4” high measured from the front lip.

Hopefully this thread inspires me to take more pictures of the work I do to the car, I'm sure there are things I missed in this post, so expect to see more as I continue the build and add things I missed that I've already done.

 

Hello twin

 

Hey Twin!

Back here with a little update on the front camber arm situation.

2IS Megan FUCA's design is different than their 3IS part. 2IS clears properly when airing out.

Here's what was hitting

2IS Arm on top

 

Photos not showing.

 

Fixed post, sorry about that.

Got aligned this weekend and flipped the front tires, the insides were on their last legs. Car is riding smooth as butter now. I'll post the alignment sheet and some pics later.

I lowered the ride height maybe 1" in the front and .5" in the back. Running a good bit more camber at the moment. -3.5 up front and the rear is a little wonky as they didnt have time to do the rear camber before they closed, will have to go back for an adjustment.

Also installed those Lexus door lights. They came out nice.
