I found a body guy though to do what I want this winter. We'll be cutting the fenders and quarters and filleting them along with a radius
I want to sit where I was height-wise a few weeks ago.

What's up everyone? I recently bought my first LS400. 1995 w/ 122k on it for $4600.
I host drift events here in New Orleans, LA as NODRFT with a couple buddies.
I went from this.
To this.
I come from a traveling drifter back ground so you know I'm already trying to figure out how a big body like this would do in drift.

welcome man, you have a clean start there. what made you go with the big body lexus? you can def get the car sideways but will be hard without a clutch. converting to manual is possible but due to the difficult nature of the swap, there are not a lot of folks with that 3rd pedal. there are a few build threads to get you going.
also be sure to check the FAQ for all your common needs.

Being an event host my buddies and I typically have to try to set a standard/ raise the bar for everyone else in our area. We do what we can to encourage everyone else to step up and become better at drifting/building drift cars. This is my way of stepping up....and I'm having a little boy in three months haha!
I worked for Lexus for a while and the ls400 caught my eye of that cool, old school, gangster sedan that you just lean back and cruise in. Loved the car for years and I just so happen to find the one for me.
I'm looking at jz swaps. The v8 in these things don't seem like they would work very well in this heavy car.
