Project Car Tuner Magazine GS400 spread
I just purchased the May/June issue of Project Car Tuner Magazine and there is a 20 page spread on a project GS400 titled "The Velvet Hammer." This article includes step by step tips on installing coilovers, exhaust, aftermarket intake, etc.. The article is not available online, but it is a must buy for the Lexus GS enthusiast. The mag is on news stands now!
Here is the mag..http://www.projectcarmag.com/
Oh, Who is the owner of this N/A silver 98 GS400 in this mag?

Wow 11hp just for the K&N? Was that just for the K&N or for all the performance mods they did. Sounds alot for just a intake, but anything is possible......Yea im definantly going to go pick that issue up today.
