Default 1SickGS300 Build Thread

So i decided to post up a build thread!! I bought the car from a member here, back in February. I drove and met him in Virginia . Cool guy! Here is the car the way i bought it. It hasn't changed much but many plans coming soon!

First thing i wanted to do was air bag it which i did. I even made a DIY! https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...stall-diy.html

The next steps is to buy some boss *** rollers,exterior kit, fresh paint,suspension components,aristo swap,and etc, so stand by!!

here is some pics of it bagged enjoy!!

i know some people cut a hole in the engine bay to avoid your uca from hitting. i know mine was hitting when i was dumped. i just turned the radio up. i then switched to coilovers and soon hopping back to bags soon. but i'd definitely beef up the suspension. looks good btw.. it's ... on point! lol

I like it! when do you plan on starting on the build? Also, plans for wheels? Size/Offset? Thats the main thing on what fender mods you'll be doing. Guna keep an eye on this thread!

Thank you! I am planning on getting wheels and a few items for the car around tax season and hopefully a swap around summer time. Im doing a lot of reading and trying to figure out what offset, disk size, and camber that i might need. There is a lot to it. I want 19's or 18's but I think 18 will look to small? I cant decide yet lol!. i want at least a 3 inch lip on the fronts and a 4 to 5 inch on rears. I would like to not have to pull if at all possible. Plus i want to be able to ride low and still be able to turn with out damage.lol I also need to find better suspension components to help with ride low? do you have any ideas?
