very smooth. the only engine mod for the pass 90k miles has been an intake and a cat-back exhaust. so it has never been abused or messed with. during the early days (2002), i had the XERD headers on for no more than 3 months.. then a fix-it ticket changed everything.

been running stock for quite sometime now.

im in Norcal.

How low do you usually drive?? Any rubbing issues?? And how low can it be dropped when parked?

Also with bags you can go back to stock height right? all withthe touchh o a button? Is the air compressor in the trunk? If so can i get pictures please?

Where inside are the UAS controller located?

What pioneer system is it?D2 D3?

Do you have more interior pics by any chance?

How far away from orange county are you?

What regular maintenance would be needed? Does the UAS system require special attention?

haha another postt..im proabbly getting anooying by now.

But heres a long shot since i know you want a es350. But would you consider working out a trade for a 05 gs300 thats currently on a lease? It has one year left on the lease but i could work something out with you, like paying off the rest of the year and you pay the Residual Value?? You'd be getting a 2005 Gs300 with Navi for $20512.

tomlee:
I'm gonna try and anwser all ur questions.. The UAS bags allow 5.5" inches of height travel. I can slam the car with all wheels tucked or raise the car higher than stock. Currently I have a 9 button switch box. The twin compressors are in the trunk next to the 5 gallon stainless steel tank. Install is super clean.

Not interested in a trade currently.

This car comes equipped with ENDLESS BBK 6-pot pistons.
- Endless stainless steel break lines teflon coated
- Project Mu rotors front and rear

These brakes made the biggest difference in stopping performance and appearance. Special color = GOLD.

Car bought New at Pleasanton, CA Lexus dealership in April, 2001.
I rock a RMM lip wing and a Altezza Z-edition grill for 1.5 yrs before any major mods:



Once things got going, the car was showed with Team Hokori in the Bay Area for 1 season. During that time, the overall design was "DRFT". This car had the first Cusco 6-point Roll-cage state-side. It was one of the first to have the famous Bride reclinable seats with Takata harnesses. Good old days!



Then when Junction Produce was first pushed by JunctionJohn, the decision to rebuild was undergo and all performance items were put back to stock and the focus was the exterior and dress-up items. A good friend found a set of hella rare OZ JP Scaras in Japan for me. Added the Wald flares to accomadate the wider wheels. Finished the kit with RMM sides and got a true JDM Toyota rear bumper with lip valence. 2 sets of Anceltion curtains were provided by Kent @ ENDLESS USA and the car was reborn:
