Hey bit,
Maybe we can plan on a group buy from Mo on the SC, cause I'll be ready for some forced air in about a year! Take a nice leisurely drive up to the shop, then all hell breaks loose on the way back!
Sounds like a plan Eric. I don't think we've met, but I guess we will in Charlotte this weekend.

My mod started took a while because my GS430 wasn't really a "planned" buy...I just walked into the dealership and next thing you know, I drove out with a GS430! I hate it when that happens!!

My first mod was only temporary...I had some Tein HA's on there (it was a buddy's that he wasn't using) but they were too stiff...so got rid of them after a little while (gave 'em back to my buddy) and rode stock for a while...

The REAL modding started with my wheels. Since it took some time to make, I decided I wasn't going to bother doing any mods until they were done...so it took a few months...once I got my wheels, I did everything at one time. Install the H&R's at the same time...oh yeah, a TRD STB was thrown in the mix back when I had my Tein's...I had it on before the Tein's also...

After that, all the other suspension mods happened. TRD LCB...then the TRD STB was replaced with UGO F/R CF STB's (along with the UGO CF rear window spoiler), then the TOM'S 6-piece rear link kit and the TOM'S Rear LCB...somewhere during this time, I upgrade to the AP Racing/Stillen 6-piston Brake Kit...then the body kit (since that took QUITE SOME TIME to decide upon and get into the states)...then I did my APEX WS exhaust...since then, I haven't done anything major...but now I'm going to do the Tein FLEX and EDFC and the TOM'S Front LCB (replacing the TRD one) and I'm swapping out the TOM'S Real LCB Type-B with a Type-A...

I'm going to do a partial upgrade to the sound system...nothing major though...

After this, all I have to do is some sort of Forced Induction and this car is DONE...dunno what else I can do to it...

Of course, I have my 2nd Lexus Project car to work on now...
The EDFC would be a nice addition to the flex system. It's this or Air suspension for me.

My car was a virgin for 14 month. One nigh while doing a wild search on yahoo came accross ClubLexus on the search engine. First MOD was L-Tuned exhaust. Not soon after that was TRD STB and LCB. Sill not satified.. added TRD Sway.. Oh..OH.. Snow...purchased 17" L-Tuned for Snow Tire... by then.. my sickness got worse.. Installed the Bilstein/Eibach. Soon purchased the Toms Rear STB... Purchased the 18" Rim while the winter just started..
got sick of the stock speaker... add MBQuart to my system. Everyday I keep remind me take the pill of reist to log on.. but no.. My father in law came and drove my car... comment that still was not as good as MB.. pissed me off... order tein HA .. that should shut him up next time he drive... did not end here .. I am planning 6 piece from Toms..

A wise man told me (Jazziz ) that it's like tatoos, once you start modding, YOU CAN'T STOP!

HE WAS RIGHT!!!

It is no where nere finished.... Corners need to be filled on , lines need to be tightned and it all just needs to be completed.... When it is done it will look sick... TRUST... It goes on to my chest and onto my back too... When it is finally done (like 6 months) I'll show you guys the final product....
