SICK.. .Man it IS about time you cleaned that baby!!!

& good to see the polishing has done you good..... Nice Job Big Ken!

the engine compartment is FINALLY starting to look as good as the OUTside of the beast!!!

you just need to come by so we can make that CF plate for the radiator reservoir & then you need to pop for the Polished Alloy radiator!!!

If you want that plate before HIN.. . Ring me up & swing by one of these evenings!! we can knock it out!!


& now that you started it........ here's a few pics of MY baby from a few weeks ago.... some things are different now...as you know ... i will post more & updated pics in the appropriate forum as soon as i get a chance to wrap up a few details...

.

PS .. .She drives like a bad **** again... Not as strong as with the XB in there...but then again i dont have to worry about it 'sploding all over my Brightwork again now do i !!!!! & the interim FMU is having a much better time dealign with the speed this thing boosts & the level of boost as well... so it is all good.... & MUCH more to come!


Call me ..


OK... here is HOW it is DONE....





MMMM good!!!







& finally...






rock on My GS Brethren!!!

Thanks guys for the props... Many of you have seen my car go through it's stages and I must say, It's almost finished.. (of course, I have interior left to do...)

I must say, the guys over at LMW have done a great job on my car and Edgy's IS300. They have taken our cars to another level and have started big projects for our Lexus cars...

EDGY Brotha, I'll hit you up mid week for the final touch ups...

Very nice. How about changing the radiator with something like a Fluidyne?

I was suggesting a polished aluminum radiator upgrade....I guess he hasn't taken pics with it installed.

Okay, you guys twisted my arm...

here ya go:

Koyo IS300 radiator custom fabricated to fit my GS. Koyo does not make a radiator for the GS here in the states. Fuidyne does not make a polished radiator for the GS either..

Sorry for the poor lighting conditions.
