Default TonyN GS3 build thread,

Hello Fellow CL member,

My name is Tony, been a member for quite a while as you can tell by my join date. I have had a few lexus, most recenly a 03 IS300 Sport Design 5spd, I like the car but needed something bigger, hence the reason for the GS3. I wanted the 300 and not 400 or 430 because I love the 2jz engine, the GS3 is my 3rd 2jz engine (well in the car running anyways lol).

So here we are, 2000 GS300 Platinum. Have owned this car for a little over a week now, and yes I have modded already.

So far I have done 20' TSW, Flowmaster exhaust, Prospeed Intake, Yellow tint fogs, small stereo system, carbon fiber di-doc rear bottom center lip. Also a few other small odds and end such as door actuator and new keys. Finally installing my Tein tomorrow and wrapping my roof in carbon fiber di-doc, will update pictures then.

Headlight resto




Cleaned and Detail engine, some minor tucking and adjustments


Yellow fog bulb and overlay



overview shot









Thanks for viewing

No HID, i installed them myself, actually it was one of my first mods, hid's and restore the headlight lense. And yes that is my MKIV in the back, i'll attach a few pictures.

Tein S-tech. only about 50miles, need to put more miles on it so it can settle, probably by next week and 200+ miles i'll do another alighment. So far the rear is perfect but I am hoping the front settle another 1/4- 1/2 and inch.








Now a few pics of the Supra:
