Wanted to to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Darek and I recently got a 2003 GS300 with ~ 85K miles and 0 options other than the spoiler (looked for a GS430 for over 6 months and finally gave up and got the G300). I have owned two LS400s since 1995, as well as a couple of MBs and BMWs. I've been able to do most of my own repairs and maintenance and the only time I spend at the dealer is buying parts.
I Did the timing belt/water pump/hoses/tstat a couple of weeks ago and was planning on doing the LBJs/tie rod ends this weekend but rockauto sent me two different tie rod ends. Also have done the steering pretentioner procedure, TB clean, rear end/engine oil, and transmission flush (on the first drain, 3.75qt came out). Do you have guys have any other recommendations for things to do?
My other toy is a E36 M3 convertible (modified including coil overs, shark injectors, under drive pully’s, CAI, exhaust, etc, etc). I plan on keeping the GS300 more or less stock (maybe mufflers and original GS400 17" wheels if I can find some).

Littlebird, I finally got a pic of my lexus up, the only prob I'm having is that's the only one I could get u because the auto group app an club lexus kept freezing up for some reason.
But thanks for letting me know bout that app, was able to send the pic from my phone.

Hi, I'm brand new here and to owning a car as nice as the 2001 GS300 I just bought. It has 113K & the timing belt was done at around 85K. Paid $5K for it. It's silver with black leather interior, standard stereo w/6-CD changer, no other mods or options I know of. I know I'm gonna have some questions which I'm pretty sure will all be answered by the knowledgeable folk here! One minor (I hope) issue that just appeared is that I saw my passenger side outside mirror glass dangling out of the housing! Also I will be asking about the most cost-effective way to get some additional keys – all I have is a single master key and its FOB. I'd like an extra master and a valet key. I'm also planning on replacing the stereo with something more modern – a unit that has bluetooth, aux/USB input and possibly a sirius/XM tuner built-in.

Hey Nick are you just going to VIP your GS, or are there more plans for it after you get your RX-7 where you want to be?
