Default Look at what the Fedex and UPS Man brought....

My patience has finally paid off... I've been sitting back looking at alot of nicely modded GS for the past six months patiently but the time has finally come. Since acquiring my 01 GS300 back in march, I could not wait to mod her like I had done in the past with my IS300, so I went shopping two weeks after I got her. But today, the fedex and UPS man came to my house and deliver what I have been waiting for for a very very long time. Below is a sneek peek at what's to come. As soon as I get everything installed and tested, I'll give my thoughts on things..

careful with that safc2. try and screw around with that thing too much without the help of professionals that know how to properly tune and your pretty little thing will go boom.

Yeah, you need wideband O2 sensor at MINIMUM to play with the SAFC yourself. Best to have a full sensors(O2, EGT) and datalogging suite. If you're taking it to a shop for tuning....carry on

Custom piping will be made for the exhaust tommorow with O2 wideband bung welded to it. All of the stuff haven't come in yet, so when it's all good and dandy, I'll post the results. Tunning shouldn't be a problem because I have access to a Nascar race team dyno and I've tunned quite a few IS300 along with mine in the past with no problems.

Access to a dyno? Is it for free ? That would be awesome lol.

Oh yeah, I'm also curious about those D2 brakes(are they 13 or 14" rotors?) and coilovers. I'm sure everyone here on CL is anxious to see some feedback about those as well.
