New to the forum and have a 2007 Lexus is350 Starfire pearl Project car
Hey guys, just signed up and bought a 07 Is350- Starfire Pearl with 62k
Salvage vehicle at a auction, Kind of got screwed with hidden damage. Had to replace power steering rack, control arm, bushings, oil pan... In the pictures ( Below) It looked like I just needed a new front bumper and new airbags inside the vehicle.. Bought this car is Rancho Cordova- California, SO I never got a chance to look at the vehicle
Car had a lot of Upgrades!!!
1. Wired turn signal mirros
2. IS-F front and rear sway bars
3. Enkei AME FS-concept rims
4. Tanabe Medallion Exhaust
5. LMS Intake
6. Tanabe Pro Coilovers
7. Window Mirror Lights & Engine Start White- To Blue Lights (Changed)
8. Roof Painted Black
9. Lexus Light up running boar sills
Finally got the car running this past weekend, was worried I had a bad motor, but that is well.. The steering wheel wont turn easily, think there is something wrong with the power steering rack, computer dosent read it correctly, have to figure that out, after that I have to rip the front end off and replace the radiator, care support, fans etc. etc. Than I move onto the interior with the steering wheel airbag and knee pad, and than navigation unit, I am considering purchasing the FlyAudio unit, since it has its advantages... I have the screen come up but the whole button assembly is missing, So I will be replacing that... A lot to do.
I would appreciate help, comments, or any concerns. Would greatly help a lot and I love to chat,
Thanks for your time everyone, Andy
