Hey, Not new here, but this is the latest addition to my Garage, 2000 GS300 Platinum, I love my SC300 5spd, but only drive it a few hundred miles a year, so this will be a nice way to 2J without breaking my other toy. all I gotta do is get rid of that uuuugly chrome on the pillar and tails!

You know it feels good over in this section of the forum.

Welcome to the 2GS section! I'm so glad you're taking that tail light chrome trim off

Default Fort Walton Beach FL in the house...

Hey everyone,
Finally got my lexus down from jersey where my bro and boy put it together for me. Not access to a shop so it had to be built up there. So yeah, 99 gs300 spectra blue mica with the tan leather interior, i have g35 infinity rims on it. Cut the bumber some just to be able to fit intercooler piping. R35 turbo on 2jz ge. Megan upper control arms, lowers in the rear, adjustable coilovers from bc. 750 cc injectors.... other stuff all over the place.



And so it begins





Dirty old heart comes out.





Newer heart goes in after bieng machined decked and all that good stuff. New turbo gaskets and bolts, gates pump and belt. Tapped etc..





Finaly a fresh beefy heart.





Cut bumper some tho fit piping





Done for now, still need to put in a fully built trans to handle power. For now stock trans will fo on 6 pounds of boost





Ready to eat the streets

Shalom from Florida! שלום לכולם מפלורידה וסוף שבוע נעים! This forum is the absolute best Lexus one out there in my opinion. Thank you to everyone who contributes and helps save time, money, and gives information and enjoyment to everyone! The Lexus community is great in general, and I'm in a local club here in my city as well. I'll share my car and it's features below:

Alpine Silver 1997.5 GS400 - Black Interior, Factory Chrome 16" Wheels and Chrome modded grill. Pioneer system and Heated seats. September 1997 build dates. 1" Eibach Lowering Springs. Tightened Steering Rack Mod. 30mm Front/20mm Rear Sway Bars with ISF Links. Modified factory intake. Full Stainless Steel Exhaust (Enlarged and reformed secondaries as well) Some LEDs here and there. ZR rated Tires.

Looking for PPE Headers, K&N Cold Air Intake, and Apexi Neo to eventually target 280rwhp.

(LS400 Calipers/RCAs/Rotors/18" 3GS Chrome Wheels would be great eventually, but not priority. Sound was first, then handling, then speed - braking is good so that and looks are last)









Respectfully, Ya'acov

Thank you again Thomas! I do have to say, I think your car is even more beautiful 👍 I wanted a black one, but this was my second favorite color.

I've actually got two GS's in my driveway. One was my first and is a 2002 GS300 that's black and grey interior but that car is my son's now and to replace it I got a dark blue 2004 GS430 with tan interior and upgraded audio system and navigation.

1. Exterior Color - Car one is black, car two is dark blue
2. Interior color choice - 1 is grey and 2 is tan.
3. Major Options or special packages (Sport Design, etc) 1 doesn't have any but two has heated seats, Levinson sound system and navigation.
4. Audio Options (Nakamich/Mark Levinson or Pioneer) - 1 is Pioneer and 2 is Levinson.
5. Any modifications - auxiliary inputs on both so I can hook up my phone.
6. Anything you want to mention (others considered, previous Lex owner, etc) - Other than I can't just get enough GS not much to say here. I am a long time Toyota owner though. I've had a Corolla, two Scion xb"s, two GS's, and my wife drives a Rav4.
7. If you are INTERNATIONAL, state which city/country your representing! - Louisville KY
8. Post pics or links to your car (you can upload pics in our gallery)

Default New To The Forum

Hello All.

I have been a member for quite a while now but never really posted. So here I am introducing myself. I currently drive a Black GS300 sitting on BC Racing Coil overs and GSF 19" Wheels. My intentions for this car is to convert everything to F-Sport. It is my pleasure to be a part of this forum and I do hope to meet some new people and get some positive feedback on my build.
