Henry, I hope you don't mind me doing this. I was reading your recent post about how you have lost interest in taking pictures of your car and really haven't done anything to it in a while in the way of mods. As I was reading your post, I remembered that I found this thread a while back dating back to when you first bought your car. It looks like you got the car in June of 2002. So in June of 2002 you made your very first post, and as of today, you have 26,719 posts. We are now coming up on June of 2005, so it has been a month shy of 3 years since you got your car, or exactly 1064 days. If you do the math, that works out to 25.111 posts per day. Truly amazing. I hope you don't lose interest in posting. If you did, the GS forum would never be the same again.

Don't worry. He is still modding the GS, just more slowly. He is paying a little more attention to the new SC430, that's all.

haha i hate you jon to be honest you have no idea how much i learned from all the members here on CL. it's just amazing. i can't thank enough people about what i have gained here.

well, i guess i can post up updates here. the gs4 is still here, i think we will stay with the gs4 for a while. in terms of modding, i guess it makes sense to say that after certain point, you just start to slow down. given that i have already said before i will never ever get FI for the car, having the tc and lsd is already the last big move for me.

most of you know my thoughts about moving on to another car, but thta doesn't seem to happen any time soon. with my wife having so much fun with her sc430 guess i just have to find my fun with the gs4

i have to admit though, i am in fact losing a bit interest in the gs4. dont' get me wrong, i still love the car, but probably guess i can't find anything that i want to do to the car, i am not getting the kid of excitement i had before. it sux, but i don't know what i can do about it.

i thought about taking some pictures of the car, but then every time i see the pics i took and the pics YOU GUYS took, i just put down my camera and went "sigh".... i am serious. it's like showing my high school yr book picture compared to the ones you take at wedding @_@

it has cd changer and spoiler, but no hids and only the stock alloy wheels. he is asking for 26k

what do you guys think? is it worth it? please convince me to get it if you guys think it's a good deal

i am currently driving the acura tl-s, and if i get the gs4 i will be switching cars with my gf from time to time.

thanks!

Its a Lemon, DONT BUY IT!!! (could you imagine how your life would be if you hadnt bought it?)

Haha, now we all know your GS doesnt have auto Leveling

Hey Rominl, since your getting bored with this car I will take it off your hands LOL Could really use 2 GS parked in the garage Also have you thought about a new set of wheels for the car? You know wheels really make the car so maybe it's time for a new look for you to get excited all over again

The HREs on the GS are not aggressive enough (offset-wise) for the SC430.

This is true but it won't be pushing the limits of the SC430 fitment and you know that's not good enough for rominl.
