Well, if that's the case. Maybe Jay Leno will add a 1st gen to his collection as a collectible. Where's the fun in building something!

LOL the fun is in building a JZS14 yourself! the only reason i would buy a 2nd or 3rd gen is because it would be more difficult to stand above the competition! just think when it comes to first gen builds.. quality not quantity!

I agree, people aren't even willing to try simple mods on the 1st gen... wtf. I can't blame people for not having mechanical talent to create and modify, but I've considered a 2nd gen and I think its too easy. I think some of our members should try something rather than wait for someone else to tell the it can be done. Just my 2cents, now I'm broke... Can someone lend me a quarter?

Update!!! Got more JDM vets who all wanna go VIP now and the green 147 is still pending for another friend since other guy seems to suit a 99 LS more (big guy) and another JDM vet plans on looking for a white 147. Oh this is all just good news for me!!!

Projects Lined up, hoping to be able to either sell to members or create a detailed howto:

1. Custom Gauges
2. Gas tank sub enclosure
3. USDM front and rear lips (like the camry and corrolla S)
4. Brushed aluminum shift bezel, radio surround and climate control.
5. VIP rear bench center console (4seater)
6. Interior lighting upgrades.
7. LED tail Light

that's all
