Default My new second gen!

Here are a couple pics I took side by side with my 1st gen.

Since I've bought the car I've done:

-3000K HID fogs
-4 pot Supra TT calipers
-DBA 6 slot rotors
-Endless MX72 pads
-Endless RF-650 brake fluid
-Goodridge stainless steel brake lines

Need to order up some Daizens next, then install my new sound system!
Got some big plans for this one, I'll start a new thread when I start the build.

thanks guys

I'll get some more pics over the weekend, right now my gf is daily driving it since I'm rebuilding her STi.

it's a 1998 GS300, canadian car, silver/black

I've got a GTE Vvti engine ready to drop in, but I probably won't get around to it until next year, as I'm focussing most of my time and money into finishing my 700hp 1st gen Aristo right now.

What I'm looking for ASAP is DAIZEN sway bar bushings, and steering rack bushing, and a nice wide open exhaust system. The HKS USA axle back is kinda lame, and the Japanese full exhaust is too small for the power I will be pushing later. I'm thinking of maybe looking for a Zees 130mm or Fujitsubo.. but both are hard to find. I was originally planning on getting an Amuse Power House system, but the result is just not worth the money. I'll probably end up making a custom system and using the HKS axle back.

Havent 100% decided on wheels yet, I'm thinking about getting a set of Amistad D's, maybe some Work LS406's....I'm open to anything wide with low offset, so if anyone is selling a nice set of wheels at a reasonable price, please let me know.


ON ORDER:
Endless Zeal Function T coilovers, 6w - 22K FR 20K RR



MY PLAN:
Vertex 161 facelift ( I already bought the headlights, grill, and other parts )
GTE swap
HKS Fcon Vpro
HKS Type R intercooler
ARC air box

Eventually I'd like to do a V160 swap and a big single.



working at a shop where i get cost on everything is a big +++
