Default Fairly new to the ls vip scene...

Hello all, name's joe and I recently acquired a 93 ls400, completely stock. Only known issues were a busted-*** timing belt and the water pump was rusted shut.

---Between me and my father-in-law, we replaced both parts and have the car on the road. Will post pics up soon of a several mods I've done to it since...and any advice is welcome!!!

thank u

Joe

Anyone heard of Savini wheels? I saved a couple bucks and finally purchased my wheels setup, used but in very good condition!!!

Savini Diamond Collection SV29-C, 3 piece wheels with Carbon Fiber lips!!! 20x9/11!!! Running 225/35s in front, and 255/35 stretched in the rear!! They look sweet IMO rolling dow the road

Congratulations on purchasing one of the finest machines ever built. All these cars need to run is basic maintenance. Flush and replace all fluids and it should ride out for a long time.

Welcome to Club Lexus Congrats on finding and getting it back on the roads.

Those wheels are ok to me. If you are looking for the VIP scene, there are nicer choices and our wheels classifieds usually has some VIP'ish styles-fitments to consider.

welcome to ClubLexus, you may want to check the wheel fitment thread for ideas on vip-esque wheels and stance.

I'm diging the wheels. The wheels don't match the car with it being silver. Now if you continued the CF thing on verious parts of the car it would look bad ***! I personaly don't think I'm gona go for the VIP style. I'm more just leaning towards just looking SICK!

Default Hahaha, thanks everyone!!

ROFL on the home depot lip, and yes, it's actually from Lowe's!!! Jus wanted to see what some sorta lip would look like, since I've been looking for a Wald lip or something, NOT the Xenon/Wings West lip. And yes, planning on adding other CF pieces, although there isnt alot to choose from...future plans include coils and 4piece body kit. Hids and redo the interior (seats)...thanks and fyi, if anyone is selling coils, pleas LMK asap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
