awesome write up - glad to hear the car went from one CL member to another and that we get to see the car around in the future.

I really enjoyed reading your post about the trip home from Arizona. I can only imagine how great it must have been to make such a long maiden voyage in your new (and I must add - GORGEOUS) GS. It sounds like you thoroughly enjoyed the experience....and who wouldn't!
Thanks for filling us in about your adventure!

Gongrats on your purchase, its a very nice ride! Is that an S2000 peeking out of your garage?? Brings back memories of my ap1, quite a difference when switching from something so small and sporty to the big Lex, you actually have leg room!

Yup...that is an S2000. As you guys get to know me, you'll see that I'm a bit of a picture *****. If there's a picture of any of my cars, the wife, or me....I'll post it, and re-post it where ever I can.

So without further adieu....here's some pics of the cars that I'm driving (seeing that my wife's car (AZDesert's old car) is getting way too much attention here(...God forbid a Lexus getting attention on a Lexus board ))

Daily and weekend cars:

Now just the cars














Old rear 3-piece spoiler:


New wing:


I've had the S2000 for 6 years now (bought it new back in early 2000)...in fact it'll be 7 years this Winter.

The Integra, I bought as a beater/junker car. Soon after, it turned into a ground-up rebuild. I've had that car for 2 years now...I can't believe how far I've brought the car in only two years (including and insanely fast 4-banger motor swap). Unfortunately/fortunately, the Integra is now up for sale.

The car I replace the Integra with will be black. Black is just too pimp!

Dude you're a baller driving all those insane cars. Love the S and the Dc, I used to own a 94 Gsr and a 00 S2000 and now the GS, I miss them both very much. Enjoy those beauties and keep them safe (especially the DC).

The Integra is a 1994 RS. It was repainted a year ago and was a ground up rebuild. I ended up doing a K-swap (K20a2...motor out of an RSX-S). Suspension is fully tunable...and is a faster car than my S2000 down the 1/4 mile strip and at a road course track).

SloGS3, where you ever on S2Ki.com when you had your AP1?

I noticed the RPM at 3000 when cruising at 90mph. My GS300 is at around 3500 - 4000 at that speed. What gives?
Oh... nice car

I was on there but i never really posted, I'm mainly a honda-tech guy, kinda started out that way with the Integra since there is a lot of good info in there, and it always stuck! The cars look lovely, teg is nice as hell, i was thinking it would be an R with the 5 lug conversion and the cluster etc. Good choice as far as the motor goes, the k series is no joke, responds to mods very well.
