Default NSXer and New GS'er saying Hi

Hi All,

I just swapped my daily '01 330Ci for an off-lease '02 GS430. It is silver/black, ML & Nav and I am picking it up from Atlanta later this week. I am a longstanding member of NSXPrime (94 weekender) and am looking forward to joining the fine folks here at CL.

Any pointers on where a new guy can go to learn about his new car (like FAQs)?

Mark

Welcome Mark,

As a seasoned veteran I don't need to tell you about the search function huh

If you can't find your answers searching I am sure a lot of us would be willing to help.

In return we DEMAND pictures of both cars

Welcome Mark,

We're still building our FAQ for the 2GS (have a lot of info gathered, but had to temporarily put it on hold for the upgrade we're doing right now).


Here are some of the previous 'bang for the buck' threads for new members who might want to read up more


Just anticipating some of what you might ask...

PS we do an annual drive at the Dragon in TN www.lexusdragon.com and have a big meet in Atlanta coming up during the Petit Le Mans www.lexfest.net

pps, welcome from a (former) GS NSX family. My fiance sold her 96 NSX-T for a 2003 Porsche 996 a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the welcome! Nope, I got the search thing down, I just thought there might be an FAQ for the new guys somewhere I managed to miss.

I can only seem to upload one pic of the GS, so one of the sales pics will have to do for now I guess. As for the NSX, it is a White/Black manual '94. Mods are: HIDs, Comptech headers, Tubi Exhaust, Zanardi Springs, Koni Shocks, Comptech swaybars, NSX-R front braces, 97+ brakes and rims, tint and some minor interior stuff.


More pics are here on 'Prime

Thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome. The pic of the GS took me back to the day when I first picked up my GS from the dealership. Go on now and dress her up.

Man this place is busy! I stepped away from my posting to take a phone call and already more great info and support! Thanks for links DAVEGS4, those are perfect - and that is a damn nice garage!

By the way, a girl with an NSX? NICE. She have a cute sister?
