oldschool SC guy buys a gs430 (pics of my new car)
Hey Guys,
Guess I should introduce myself over here and give a little background for those who don't know me. So I just bought a new 01 430. Since I was 16 I've had 3 different SC's, gold 400, blue 300 and lastly a 95 blk/blk sc3. 5 years later, I've decided to move on from the SC world into a GS. So this is lex #4 but my first non SC car! Sold my car in Sept or so of last year, and I've been having lexus withdrawls ever since. So, I bought a car from a member on here late December, and it arrived last Wednesday because the shipping company is pretty much worthless. (Though everyone says they are one of, if not the best.)
Fully loaded with the nav and levinson, pretty much everything I think. Came with a few mods. Borla Exhaust, L tuned springs, and a blown subwoofer! (Just bought an image dynamics 10" free air sub to replace it. Anyone have recomendations on an amp I should power it with?) My plans are pretty much to spend 5k or under if at all possible on the mods (though I know I'm gonna break that), and try and do things that are easily resellable later. Currently I have an aftermarket LSD sitting in my garage with the 3.76 gears (the full pumpkin one, not the difficult install one). I think I will be likely buying the SRT Intake to go along with my exhaust (btw, in case anyone is wondering, the borla sounds great.) Of course I am going to be putting some 20"s on the ride, and I already got an extremely rare set all lined up, but I'll keep that one a secret until I have em on the car. Also gonna switch to coilovers I think. And damn, I just remembered I'm most definitely gonna need to get a PI TC at some point as well.
Well those are the plans, and here are the pics of my new ride in my new house I just built. I'm a terrible photographer, and the day was dreary as hell, so my apologies.
