Wow, you're lucky! Those are such nice cars I'm also a sophomore in college and I have a 1992 which I'm trying to keep in as good original condition as possible. If I were you I'd leave the car as it is - you'll graduate college then you'll be glad you have a nice classy car lol.

Is anybody else here a little pissed off that this kid thinks he "deserves" the lexus because his parents bought him and "forced" him to drive a kia in highschool? Now he wants to put neon underglow on it... Please get off this forum and kiss your parents for spoiling you rotten.

Be happy with wat they got you and seriously your lucky you even had a car in high school even if it were a beater you trying to say you deserve that car cuz you had to drive a beat up Kia just shows how good you actually got it man be thankful you have a Lexus and be thankful towards your parents you have a great car and on a serious note if you really thinking about throwing in some neons uhmm I don't think you should do anything to the car at all with ideas like that.. Like I said you have a great car don't down grade the Lexus name with some neon under glow.. Wow Here's some inspiration

Positive Rear Camber? Or is your wheel about to fall the hell off?

Oh my, no, no. If you want to do that convince you dad to buy an old classic muscle car of some sort. Then you can leave your lexus alone and realize what a fast car really is.

It sounds like your mentally stuck with wanting to mod it for some reason. One thing you didn't mention is money? What is your budget?

It sucks. Its an old man's car, tuned for smooth ride and fuel economy. The transmission seems lazy to downshift unless you punch that pedal way down. Then there's the DBW lag before takeoff. The stock suspension makes it spongy and floaty around corners.

Definitely not a street ricer.

I was really trying to help not make you seem like an idiot, but now you're on your own. I'm not going to suggest modifying your car, but instead to give it back to your parents and getting your kia back. You should of just been happy to have a car and not a bus pass.

I still have the Kia but my parents are too cheap to insure two cars for me. There's a hole in the brake line, a hole in the muffler (source of loud sound) and the car is only running on two-cylinders so yeah, the thing's pretty much done/finished! It would've been an 'ok' street racing car if it was in better condition.

But idk, street racing is too dangerous anyways and at the end of the day it's not worth it. I was just curious.. Yeah, it was a dumb question now that i think about it!
