Default my plans

been checking on a custom tt kit for my gs, and i am going to pull the trigger if everthing goes well monday, says it can be done in about 3 weeks, and uses the same turbos as srt, has a excellent resume...so just hope with me for some positive results monday.
i have not purchased a mod for my car in almost 8 months. Time creeps up on you. I just am at a crossroads

Lexus SC300
EGR valve pass emmissions followed by plugging egr system. New tires (im thinking kumhos 712s) New fluidyne radiator with water and watter wetter only and trd radiator cap....
240sx..
Reassembled, and getting it running hopefully to autocross sts, specs once more.




And after this itll depends who runs the slower 1/4th the 240sx im putting together or the auto sc300. Slowest car gets the next wave of mods which is bfi or cai (depending on car), header, and 2.5 inch custom exhaust... thall probably be in the fall though.


Oh Im sorry I thought I was in the SC300-400 section!!! Doh!

Default summer mods..

Well since my rims are coming I'll probably do the tein or second choice bilstein if they make a comfort system like the Tein.... also, maybe 01+ taillights.. They look really good and match the rear very well... As far as anything else I think I'll just enjoy the car and the mods that are already on the car...

So far the pioneer avic n2 with dvd/navi and a ipod aux connector has been installed. Other plans are body kit as soon as I decide on one and I am waiting for the leatherseats.com leather to come in. I will be proud to say no more modding, hopefully.

Well don't worry about the budget... You have alot of tasteful mods that people like me wished they had like the Teins later
