Had a couple of mins to spare so I power washed the engine bay as it was filthy... Just gotta find a couple hours to put it all back together so I can drive it again!

A buddy of mine with a GS300 was asking if i was just doing the timing belt... kinda made me do a double take after I finished listing off everything that I was doing...

Aisin timing belt and water pump kit, oil pan gasket, oil change, coolant system flush, t-stat, new rad hoses, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, valve cover gaskets, throttle body cleaning, PS pump rebuild, new PS H-P hoses, PS flush, alternator, upper control arms, LBJ's, inner&outer tie-rods, carrier bushings, thrust rod bushings, sway bar bushings, tranny flush (dropping 2 at a time), tranny pan gasket and filter/screen (once done with the flush), diff flush, brake fluid flush, intake flush, new wheels, up&down O2-sensors, TPS, fuel filter, PCV, fuel system flush, serp-belt, idlers and tensioner, AC recharge and vent flush, new cabin filter, motor mounts, trans mount, new F&R swaybar links, coolant temp sensor PLUS the new brakes and coilovers I did in the fall and probably a few other things I'm forgetting.... With 180k(km) on the clock and no service history, I'm going through it with a fine tooth comb and replacing EVERYTHING. Will also do the ECU caps once I manage to get those parts!


Still have to pull the valve covers and TB to give them a proper cleaning in the solvent tank and parts washer.

Nah, I just started brewing my own beer! The one in the pics you saw will be about a 10% ABV Belgian Honey Bock!

Yeah, the list is ever growing too... Found a couple more areas of concern while I had things apart. I'm hoping they won't be issues but I won't know for sure till its all back together.

Here are some pics of the LS's from our Lexus meet this past Sat. Had a few other cars there, but here are the LS's.

Later that night we drove to a sweet spot under I-95 for some good pics by downtown.

The LS with the rebel flag is a 96 with the 98 front end.
