Great pics!! We were in such luck that the wheel shop was 5 min from the hotel! Glad the turnaround time was so close. I remember you looking at me like "dood, my wheel!!!!".

Clearly, you are well deserving of your "Iron butt" award

Your LS is just FABULOUS in person, my fav.

Yah i did have a look of a deer caught in headlights as it was about the worst possible time to F up my car as 10 minutes before leaving for the show.

My cold air intake is a custom built Secret.

Not by a long shot ! No offense to J for trying but it is butchered.
I can revert my intake to stock within 10 minutes and have had no issues.
I have showed a few guys it but swore them to secrecy. LMAO

Very nice rims.
Are they also 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 ?

The intake i have would not work on a pre 95 but anything is possible.
Here is a clip if you would like to hear more about it. LOL
From my previous thread made last year.

thanks to grandLS here is a sound clip of my engine after the intake.
http://mark8.org/users/GRANDLS400/Ls_intake.WAV
It is 23 seconds in total with the exhaust adding very little to the recorded noise.
It is basically taken from about 1 foot infront of the bumper with the phone on the ground.
The ambient noise is me pressing go on the phone ,then running back to the drivers seat to open the engine twice with a few second rest in between then running back to the phone to turn it off. 2 WOT rpm runs up to redline in neutral.

So far i noticed my gas average per tank has gone from 14.3liters used per 100km down to 10.8 liters per 100km as of right now and i am only 1/4 through it.
