Hey guys i just got back into the lexus scene, got a 95 ls400 for CHEAP...400 bucks lol. an offer i couldnt pass up. not new to the car things just new to the forum, looking for people that are close in the area!

the old car, 02 is300 5spd with oem navi. had obx headers,hks hi power, megan coils on some knockoff volk rims. i was coming back from import alliance when i hit a huge pothole and it put me into a bad spin instantly into a guardrail at 65mph.




moved on into a 89 toyota supra which i still have, sorta like my weekend drive/race car now lol
had a fully built 7mgte, now in the process of a 1jz swap



and now i have this ls400, got it for 400 bucks, and i mean it isnt perfect in some places, but hey i cant complain lol. i have coilovers coming this thursday, already have some junction produce curtains, and a garson front table. gotta love the luxury/vip thing lol

Welcome to CL and NELOC. Glad you made it out alive from your accident with your IS. Liking the MK3 as well, why are you swapping out the 7m?

Had it rebuilt by a local machine shop, and it threw rod like 100miles later so I just parted it out and got a complete Jz swap. And the motor that was in the supra was in my cressida for a while before I yanked it out. Had a lot of fun with the 7m, just gonna hop on the Jz bandwagon lol

And I threw in a pic from last Saturday, cruise up skyline drive in VA. Buddies 5spd is300 and a 77 datsun 280z
