Default New Guy Here...Pics of My GS400!

Hello All, i figured i would make a thread about my GS400 now that i have it some what presentable lol. This is my first Lexus (as im sure there will be more to follow, i love this car!) i am a life long Honda guy, and this is the first car i have ever owned in 16 years that wasnt a Honda lol. I have had this car for about 3 months now and have done a few mods....i think im pretty much done with it for now (going to start building a honda drag only car over the winter) so i figured i would show it off a little hope you guys like it! i know i do

its a 1998 Cinnabar Pearl Lexus GS400 with Navi, at the moment its sitting at 87k (miles) i picked it up for a steal too...so far mods are...

Tein SS coilovers (all the way down of course!)
Maya DTV's (or Altstadt Type II's) 20x9.5 fronts, 20x10.5 rears. 245/30/20 front tires, 285/30/20 rears.
HKS axle back exhaust, custom y pipe up to the cats.
Drop in K&N filter
Apexi SAFC
Innovate LM-1 wideband
5% (limo) tinted windows, minus the rear window, its 15% to see easier at night.
removed all emblems (minus the 2 Lexus "L's")
Black painted calipers with Lexus decals (doing that this weekend)
new OEM ball joints
and a few other small things here and there...

so far i have drag raced it (prior to the SAFC...needed tuned badly) it ran a 15.1 @ 96 mph. i also autox'd it and it did better than i expected! overall i love this car, its so much fun! next mods (probably next summer) will be a reworked tq converter and lsd. im content with how it sits now, so why mess with it!!

here are some recent pics....maybe later i will throw up the vids from the autox hehe!

Very nice ride and stance. i love this color. I am also unsure of the wheels but that's me. Why not build a Lexus drag car and completely escape from Hondaisim?
