Default My New LS!

Whats up guys, Just throwing up a bit of an intro thread up here. My name is Joey and this if my first Lexus. I have had 2 Jeeps, a Honda Prelude, A Jetta, And a Supercharged Miata over the past 3 years. Didn't wreck any of them, I just get bored!

I like to think this is my first "real" car. Its definitely the first car I've owned from this century lol. Plan on keeping it stock for a while but will probably wind up with some basic stuff such as coils, wheels, some exhaust work, intake, etc.

So I look forward to contributing to this forum, and I will continue to drool over some of your guys' cars. That is all!






Yea I know, pics suck lol

hahaha thanks. And right? I'm sure the whole 'keep it stock" mentality will last for all of one week

Looking good. I like the color combo. You can do coils or springs. Springs are more comfortable and they last longer. Coils give that drop of course.


Check out the faq sections and stay up on the fluid maintenance and timing belt service if you need it.
