Default G35nyc-nycmaximas-now clublexus(hollywood new here)hello fellas

HEY FELLAS:

As u can see i'm now a proud owner of a Lexus GS 430. i'm a member of G35nyc.com & Nycmaximas.org/My5thgen.org.

Long story short my friend brother got into trouble and was deported back to his country & his wife/girlfriend was selling both of his cars(Lexus/Benz) so of course i got the lexus for a crazy price that i couldn't refuse. Below u'll see pics of my 04 G35(crashed), 01 5th Gen Maxima Turbo, & my new baby Lexus GS 430.

I want to say hello to all members & i hope i can get advice & ideas from the fellow members on here since i'm new the Lexus seen... Thank you!!!!!

Welcome fellow orger. I was on NYCMaximas.org as well. Before you had to deal with tranny problems, now you're gonna have a ball with Lexus suspension woes, lol.

Yup...with the Maxima, I was tucking 18"s and 20"s without rolling or shaving anything. Didn't know anything about offsets and suspension bushings til I came here. You can't just pop in a Can air Filter with this car, you'll get a CEL. You HAVE TO change ball joints Asap, everybody will tell u the same.There's other dumb crap about this car you'll learn asap. The Lex is a good whip though, we get to enjoy the telescopic steering wheel and nice leather interior. If you want to checkout my car locally, let me know.

lol..not suspension problems more so ball joints, ****ty/sloppy steering, creaks, cracks, snaps, etc.

If you bought the car to drive like a bmw -- sell it now. IF you bought it to look nice and you dont care about noises and fixing things endlessly (non motor wise) then you're in the right park.
