Exclamation Phase II of my ride underway...

I post this b/c its great I am going to add some more things to my car but I also know that my eyes are now on a couple new Lexus vehicles. It feels weird b/c for so long the GS has been that car that does it for me but now, I acknowledge some others that are making me get that "warm" feeling in my shorts.

Again, my plans are to keep the subtle upgrades and I'm focusing on suspension pieces now so I can compare at the same track (Lil Talledega) and post differences.

We ALL add so much to our cars and rarely do we get to post the true differences on the track.

I see so many O.Gs leaving, getting other rides are life has them not posting anymore and I see the new generation with their enthusiasm and love for the GS and its still a great mix.

So this week I'm going to a couple meets with the car in Phase I and hopefully it will be done by December.


Orlando, yall doing another meet?

Good choice doing suspension mods. Though my GS is gone, I always wanted to put on all the TOM's braces and stiffer sways to go with my coilovers. Of course there are newer cars out there, and the GS may have lost a little of its appeal to you over the years, but it can be made to be such a competent performer with all the available suspension pieces out there. I bet you'll be feeling the love again afterwards...

I recently finished doing something similar with my car (NSX-R chassis braces, NSX-R sways, etc.) and I can't tell you how satisfying it is to go around corners now. No more body roll.
