Hi there everyone. I didn't see an introductions forum and/or thread so I suppose I will post my own. I just bought a 1998 Lexus GS300 with 145K miles on it. I'm planning within the next month to do some preventative maintenance (timing belt, water pump, tensioner, along with some seal changes just in case it wasn't done before), and I've had some experience with JZ motors, although not as much as I do with 7M motors. I've been a follower of the Supra for sometime now and still have my first car, which is a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo that doesn't run, but I'm trying to get ready to undergo a 2JZ-GTE swap over this summer. At least, that's the hope. For 145K miles on it, the GS still drives very smooth, no engine vibrations or anything other than a valve cover oil leak that would suggest anything in the wrong. The car came with quite a few factory options I like such as the HID headlights and Yellow fogs along with navigation. I've been around Supramania for sometime now, although I'm not as active as other members. I suppose in the future, a 2JZ-GTE swap in the GS wouldn't be so far fetched. I'm tapping into a friend of mine (avid pool player and engine builder, Sy Nakashima) for help on the swap end. Just wanted to stop by and say hello to you all, and I probably will, by the end of this month, put some knockoff Tsudo SP2 mufflers on the GS. Why Tsudo? Well, I can get them cheap through a friend of mine, so why not? Meh, I guess that's it for introductions. I'm Sam by the way...

You may get banned for that right away, but welcome.

Oh and a couple more line breaks would be nice.

Well if that's the case, I'll leave it stock...

Plus, I write in paragraphs, not necessarily the easiest way to read, But if it's just a boring introduction, I figure most people read only the first line and maybe the last few lines. If there's more pertinent information, I can put it in MLA format perhaps?
