not bad dude!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh todd, thanks for coming this morning to diagnose the beast for me. You know what the deal is though. I'd love to fix it, but I can't afford to. I tore apart the car earlier and found the damage to the engine was more extensive than we expected at first. So parting out is what will happen.

My friends and I tore apart the whole car, oy what an undertaking...

End of an era I guess. Won't be leaving my Lexus fam though great people here.

Well I'm glad you enjoy this thread. I made it to give myself a way to track my progress and be able to look back and motivate myself to keep going. Also I hoped to give others ideas or share insight on mods, so I hope it was informative.

As to the 2jz-gte, if the engine was the only issue, I'd consider it. But my suspension was also in need of some serious revamping. And to be honest, I'm ready for a change, even though I love this car. I just hope in parting out all this stuff I've collected and kept in good condition that my car can be in 147s all over the place and help other people get farther along than I did.

Thanks buddy, but again, can't swing it. But seriously, I'd like to see yours if you're ever in the area!

PART OUT THREAD GETTING PUT UP TONIGHT! LOTS AND LOTS OF STUFF!! Everything I have will be available, and you all will have one week to ask for anything that is in there, then the car will be donated away.

 

PART OUT THREAD IS UP!!! Come and buy stuff for the GS you've always wanted lol

 

MOMENT OF SILENCE PLS!!!! DAM ROB so sorry to hear this!!!! my boy who mbought might my car might be intrested in some stuff can u send me a list with prices...... again so sad!!

 

Sheet, your friend better get to ROB quick. I'm picking up more of his parts everyday!

 

Well this will probably be my last post in this thread. I didn't realize how much I'd miss it until I watched these videos of it. I'm not going to take any pictures of it taken apart or getting towed away. I'd rather remember her as she was, glorious and primal ...




I had recently got the camera and tripod to take video and pictures of the GS I'm going to miss working on her, having her teach me through her stubborn rust and grime and oldness how to respect and love my vehicle, to take care of her and love her.



Goodbye my dear

 

Sad situation Bro I just started to view this thread today. I was excited you lived only in Jersey, I would of loved to see your car in person. I live in Staten Island, NY. I was wondering what kind of wood grain kit you had inside it. Is it JDM or can you buy it here? I even had a temporary solution for your trans problem It was Lucus trans fix comes in a bottle for about 10 bucks. I used it in my GS with great results, but not before I read read some reviews first of course. Sorry again for your loss it sucks when money is the only issue stopping you from fixing something you want.

 

I'm on SI as well, we can shoot out to ROb's place if u want to check out his car.

 

Great job on the whip...... i was thinking abut going with the same sound system set up how is it?? thanks

 

I know this is an old dead thread but its a really good build thread!! All of the guys that are just getting into the 1GS game , like myself, should look through it!!

 

I'd like to know what you bought for the blue LED's for your gauges.

 

Check your thread bro im about to send you a link for them
