My goodness, your car has come so far since I was parked next to you at Lexfest in Atlanta...I think that was like in 2006 or 2007. And I remember you being one of the nicest guys I met that weekend.

The car looks so meticulously done. Many, many props for a wonderful "build" and for pouring your love for Lexus into that GS. It looks great! You should win many awards.

damn. great pics. beautiful ride. i LOVE the work in the trunk! (im big on audio)
if you dont mind, can you help me out with some electrical? i dont know if you did all the work on your car yourself, but i need a little help. im stuck on my electrical that i cant seem to fix and id like to see what other owners like yourself did to keep up a good electrical, especially since i see you must have a big strain on it.

^ You guys are pretty close!

I'm quite torn on doing a small turbo setup on the 2j and swap the head or save up for the LS2,3, etc... motor. We shall see. Got other things to take care of first then we will get to play some more.

i actually have been seriously thinking about this swap lately alot.... even talked to the gf about it last night. although she isn't included in my financial decisions i do like to talk to her about these kind of things. that swap really makes more sense than a SC or a turbo for the chassis
