... can't wait to see what your going to do to it. Are you gonna keep it the same color or different color?
Dranom's LS400 Build
My buddy has megan LP with uas bags and it seems to ride pretty good.
We were told by Work usa that It was the first aggressive set with that combo in th US at the time.
Thanks me too but it's gonna be a slow build. Still learning about this car
dodo juice, jetseal, menzerna...sounds like you know your detailing products! lovely find, and yes that price is fair for the 90k work, though you can save over $1k if you do it yourself.
there are DIY threads there to show you a step by step explanation. i was reserved to do it myself but with the help on here everything went smoothly. it is fairly simple, just labor intensive. i say if you can install suspension, you can do the timing belt! take a look at the thread and assess. welcome to the LS fam!

Regarding the 90k i can probably do it but i don't wanna risk it if anything gets F'ed up. Lol
ill leave it to the pros
Not sure yet about the color change. We'll see if budget permits
Well I guess the LS has other plans. My drivebelt snapped today but goodthing i was close to my house.
Also the good news is that StateFarm has towing now so I got the car towed to the shop for free
Since it's gonna be down for a few days Im getting the 90k service done with sparkplug change
also when im going into bumps I noticed a thump on the suspension. Is this likely bad/cracked bushings?

the thump is probably the strut rod bushings but checking all the bushings/ball joints if you haven't is always a good idea.
Personally if all it was was a snapped accessory belt I would have just gotten a ride to a parts shop, picked up a belt and a socket, and changed it on the side of the road/in a parking lot rather than waste a tow on it.

after that its modding time
BTW how much does the bushing cost usually?
I was driving on harbor. Saw you coming out of autozone

After a few days I got my LS back from the shop. Took them 2 days to install all the parts and wait on additional parts.
She have new water pump, timing belt & cover, Drive belts, KOYO radiator etc.. now
Here's a breakdown of the work done. Also i got a break when i paid cash and got some discounts on parts
Paid $1800 out the door. Is that a fair price with regards to all the work done?
Also bought a emblemless grill few days ago probably gonna paint it down the road. My stock grille looks worn and tired.
Here she sits now. Also got the windows tinted
