Default New member intro :D

Just saying hello. I am from Australia, just signed up here and am hoping to use this site to help me guide my ls400 street project. Currently I own a completely stock 1992 LS400 with 173k Kms (about 108k miles I think). I've owned the car for about 8 months now, and feel I should start to do stuff to it

I have a list of things I hope to achieve with this car over the next month or three including; gearbox rebuild+strengthen, new coilovers (hopefully I'll be able to research what the best brand is for these, lol), roots-type Supercharger, some mags, exhaust.

So look forward to talking to all you guys


Andrew.

edit - n heres pics of the car in all its brown grandpa styled awsomness. ready for some mods (hacks... )

Thanks for the replies guys.

I'll put some pics up tonight I guess. It's nothing special, but I guess it's pretty tidy for it's age. I think finding suitable coilovers will be my biggest problem. There don't appear to be any options straight from aftermarket manufactures like Megan, G4 or Tein that will suit a '92.

-opps... now I see tein do have some.

lol, search man, Tein DOES NOT MAKE COILOVERS FOR UCF1x.

megan, JIC, Lock Smice, JP, Wald (i think), and maybe KSport all make coilovers for the 1st gen cars.


and no, coilovers made specifically for the 95-00 (2nd gen) will NOT work on your ucf1x.
