Default New guy from the Midwest!

Well I have been lurking the site for quite some time now. So I figured I would finally take the time to register. I will keep this short and sweet though. My name is Sean, I live in central Ohio, I sell cars, I drift and I loooove my Lexus.

I cannot access my photobucket on my work computer, but here are a few pics I could dig up from posts on other forums im on.

93' GS300
BC coilovers
18x8.5 +19, 18x9.5 +25 Lowenhart LS1's
8000k HID's
Slotted rotors
That is it for now. Im just trying to gradually clean the car up more and get ready for new paint.

Yes I do have all the center caps, but it was getting some stance adjustments. It needs some spacers for more poke.



and here is my baby/fanboy ride repping for wheel gap




Its current state is not so pretty. I have been putting in a lot of work to rebuild it from the ground up. As well as putting in a whole new drivetrain. (small block Ford Setup)



I might be able to dig up some more pics later.

The 962's have been gone for a year or more. Those are older pics of the car.

And thank you....blacking on the headlights might be a possibility?

I just read through the whole thread. You do some really nice work man. I don't plan on going that crazy with this one. I just have plans to clean up a little rust/body work, paint it, maybe re cover the seats and do a few misc. things. Luckily I am sponsored by a body shop to help lol. I will probably end up selling this one next year and picking up something out west if possible?

I just noticed that wasn't you lol. I have done that to headlights on previous cars with okay results. I definitely want to remove the amber corners.

Looks like you're off to a pretty good start. Always a fan of the s chassis too. I hear ya on the lack of forum activity, but I guess there just arent as many 1st gen owners compared to other gens/models.
