New member - New to me Gs300
Hey guys so I was looking for a new car but wasn't sure what I wanted after driving many different cars and I couldn't make up my mind. driving my husbands GS400 one day I told him this is what I want! and since he wouldn't part with his we found one for me!
I wanted a car that already had some added features, rims, suspension something that I wouldn't have to do much to once I brought it home. and lucky for us we found what I was looking for.
here she is the night we met.
we haven't done much other than basic maintance, water pump, timing belt, thermostat and change all seals. It has K sport coilovers all the way around the front left strut was bad so we replaced both the front struts just to be safe. Got the windows tinted as well. two of the door locks didn't work well so we went through and replaced the actuator motors ( that was fun) ive only had it 3 weeks. here she is today.
plans for the future, new 01+ tail lights, hid fogs( I cant pick a color?) and new arm rest cover and I want a new shift ****!
Im addicted now and the hubby loves the fact we now share the same platform.

Thanks! It's a good overall car had some minor stuff but the body and interior are nice enough and I love those big wheels. My hubby is jealous he says it's nicer than his gs!

Thanks, it's what I was looking for I wanted relatively low miles it's got 130k it's a 99 the body and paint are in pretty good condition. You don't see it in these pics but the roof of the car has been vinyl wrapped black. It defiantly gives it a aggressive look. I actually set out to buy a blue one but the one we looked at just wasn't what I wanted. I didn't want to waist my trip so we went to meet this car, I wasn't excited about the color or the wheels but when it pulled up I had a change of heart. I'm very happy with it.

Nice! I wanted to do that on a honda I had years ago and decided against it, Iat the time I saw way to many peoples set ups break. Have they worked all the kinks out? How does that work with going fast, I'm torn with what I want to do in the future but a turbo or supercharger kit sure sounds appealing. Does a air ride get sloppy with speed?
