Whats up guys, new here to the Lexus, and VIP scene. Just sold my S13 which was my baby. I built it for 4 years but it was time to get a change of scene so I decided to pick up a LS400. Was looking around for a while and came across this bad boy. Its a 98' with 219,XXX on it. Body damage is very minimal, nothing that I can't fix. No rust on the car, body of the car looks awesome and runs/drives perfect. Right now its got some hideous wheels that I'll be pulling off tomorrow to get the stockies on. My plans are to bag it with a bag over coil setup and put it on some Work Meisters. Maybe some custom body work, and a crazy interior? Not too sure yet. For now, I plan on getting her on the floor first.











I got the ugly bling bling rims off and put the stockies on. Also gave her a nice detail.



Just modified the stock disgustingly pointless intake to be a lot more efficient lol. The HKS intake looks stupid so I'm going to pick up just a black cone one tonight.







Did coilover sleeves up front today, gotta do the rears. Just to get the car low until the air comes in.





Rear sleeves are in.







Got a set of wheels on her. Just something stupid for the time being. 18x8.5 18x9.5 Work Eurolines.



New updated nice pic. I gotta touch up that fender :X



Got some shots at the first show of the year over here.





Been MIA for a few weeks guys! Haven't really done much to the car. Put the center caps on the wheels and got a set of 25mm spacers for the rear. Also lowered the rear more.









Now that there is a period where there is not many shows going on in the area, I decided to pull off my wheels to refinish them and do all the other mods I want to do. I have planned to straight pipe the resonator and 2 mid mufflers to get rid of my scraping points on the car, and also install 2 vip style mufflers at the end of the exhaust. Also want to lower the car more and do some interior goodies. Pictures to come as it comes back together.

Wheels are back on !

 

welcome to the club.

 

Welcome!

I had to put my shades on for all the bling on the wheels! lol. Looks like a clean car though. I'm starting to gather parts for my bag setup right now. I'm also going bag/coil setup.

Oh, and thats a pretty mean looking S13. IMO

 

ouchy on that fender but i'm sure you can tackle it based on seeing your hatch. welcome!

 

Man, that looks so much like the Moss Green 2 tone that came on sohc coupes. Love it!

 

nice man cave there man, congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club!

 

Congrats man! Finally, another 98-00 LS owner! Cant wait to see this baby come into form.

 

Welcome to Club Lexus and congrats on the LS400
We'll be looking forward to seeing your build-up.

Thank you for all the compliments guys! I put up a updated picture up! Mods will be coming soon!

 

Welcome man. Look forward to seeing the progress

 

Updated.

the factory designed intake probably makes more power than any cone filter you slap on. Green radiator fluid is no bueno as well.

 

You think so? I felt like the acceleration was deff better with the intake, sounds better for sure.

 

considering it's pulling in warm air from the engine bay, i doubt it.
