Default My second 2GS Build

Couldn't get away from a 2GS so here is round 2:



98 GS400 with what I've done in the past month:

19" staggered Varrstoens, already on it...but I stripped and repolished
GReddy Front Lip - Real Trust GRacer, I painted
E46 Style Lip Spoiler on trunk
Megan Roof Spoiler, I painted
Megan Racing Lowering Springs, Front upper C/C Arms, Rear Toe Arms
SPC Rear Lower Camber kit
Daizen bushings all throughout
ADUS rear knuckle bushings
TRD Sways - on their way
Retrofitted GS300 Climate controls to kill OEM NAK Navi
Pioneer 9310BT Navi headunit
JP Replica Missions, Fusa, Kintsuna
Wrapped woodgrain in Burgundy Carbon, looks good actually
Wrapped the door handles in Avery Conform Chrome
Bellezza Tan Curtains in the rear
LEDs Throughout, shocker
New Lifter Shims in motor to get rid of lifter tick, or lessen it
Rebuilt all 4 DLAs, replaced 2 Climate Solenoids, Blower Resistor, replaced Sunroof
Mufflers deleted, 2.5" X-pipe and tails, to OBX 4.5" Tips

Left to do:

Finish lifter tick silencing, or build a 2UZ hybrid
Refinish/ReDye Leather Interior, Dye White JP Missions to Match Seats
New Wheels,
Drive the snot out of it!!!

I like that you didn't drop it stupid low. That seems to be the thing in this forum. Looks like you can still drive it and not scrape the bottom all up.

What's a 2UZ Hybrid? 1UZ block and 2UZ heads?

2uz Block 1uz Heads
Why would you want a cast iron block? The 2UZ is a heavy truck block like in the Sequoia . Maybe you're thinking 3UZ?

Looks pretty good. I feel with that front lip it would look a bit better with suitable side and rear too.. refreshing change from the TTE though

was going to say the same exact thing. I dig the front lip, and with sides and rear valences or something. it would look really good.

I think he might be talking bout a 2uz block with a 1uz head and custom rods! Alot of Peepz have done that conversion!
