Ok brothers and sisters....I need a little help...I have decided at the end of summer,middle of fall to put my baby up for the winter..well until the snow melts and its safe to drive her again..so im going to see who will let me keep her in their shop and work on her little by little till she is done. What i need from the CL family is any and all parts you would change while she is put up. Im talking cv joints..ball joints..sway bar..things of this nature. I'm trying to have her right by summer. Any and all responces will be greatly appreciated.

My goal is to buy all my parts now..so all i have to do is take the car in...with the box full of OEM lexus parts and say call me when ur done. After that I'll be doing my system..which im looking at either the TC-1000 OR TC-2000 12" subs (2 of them) and a good clean amp to push them...get that all intalled and finally to the paint shop..

so as u can see this will be a project that will take a while to do.

Again...any input on which parts to replace will be greatly appreciated

 

What is our budget?

 

to be honest....i just go as it comes up..if i have to save a little i will...house is paid for....Tahoe is paid for and all i really pay are utillites..cable..phone.gas/electric. Thats why putting it up is not a problem for me...but lets just start with 3g's for begining sake

 

Is the GTE swap just a given?

 

naw....no engine swap...just trying to get her as when she was comming off the showroom floor......just simple stuff...im not really into the swap thing...just wanna make her look and run goog...and drop her a little bit
Im really trying to get a little money saved up for either a LS430 or S500.

on another note..thank you Kaiser for replying any and all help is appreciated

 

Carpet, leather and floormats? Oh and cupholder, everyone needs a cupholder.

 

Glad to here you're going to be going with a TC Sounds sub. I've got a single TC-9, 12" in a sealed box (temporarily) till I build a nice ported enclosure.

 

Kaiser...those will be my LAST modds....lolol..im trying to get her riding right..engine is superb. '94 with 127~~~ on the dash..(seafomed and auto rx her too) Come to think about it..the suspension is the only thing im worried about. I already know im replaceing the stuts with aftermarket..but little things like joints and ball bearins..hubs are my worries..i just dont want to miss nothing..and i rather hear it from the board then a mechanic..the very ppl who been there and done that!
