Thanks. Bought KyleCim's 98 GS400. Drove it back to Southern IN in 15 hours and 25 minutes. Averaged 25mpg. Happy with the car. My kids love it. Had to mow the lawn before I could take a picture.

Cleaned out the throttle body. I didn't have time to pause and take pics but the black gunk that came out told me I needed to do it. Slightly smoother idle and lower cold rpm's.

I was going for the plugs but I didn't have the right extension and swivel to get to the no. 2 cylinder spark plug. Checked the no. 1 cylinder to see what they might look like and was surprised at how clean it looked so didn't do it this time.

Wow, this is what I was thinking of doing, swapping out my current 6 spokes for those GS430 17in 7 spokes. But I want them OEM painted Silver to match my Silver 300. Loves how it looks without the spoiler, I want to see more all around pics. Your like the only person I've seen that done this swap. I'm looking for pics on the 2nd gens with the 2011 GS450h 18in 10 spokes.

Well finally finished polishing my engine parts... Close to 50hrs later spread into a few weeks here is the final result... A big thanks to Nick- rock-a-lex for giving me a step by step on how to do this.. This was my first time doing something like this and all mostly done by hand.. also Clos430 for helping to uninstall the timing covers... More on the way in the engine bay in the weeks to come..

Before










After
