Back at it Again!

Well, after almost a year of unsuccessful car hunting, and the realization of other priorities, I decided to work on what I already have.
This time, things will be different.

Here's a little "work in progress" teaser to get things started:



A lot of things to be done for her until she's show ready. Bought and installed a lot of the parts all at once in the past couple weeks, but these projects never end.

 

This is what the car looked like towards the end of last year:



(Don't worry, the rear looks a lot different now)

 

And back to the present time..........

Just put together a 2012 F Sport front end conversion (I have a 2009 IS), and now toying around with ride height and a few other adjustments to get my fitment and rear in check

Before fitting the new front end:

 

Car looks mean without the front end haha!

What side skirt extension is that?

 

I know, it was fun for a bit!
Side skirt extensions are carbon fiber from AIT Racing

 

Looking good mate

Buying my conversion stuff right now

 

Good to see you back. Liked what you did with your old build, looking forward to your new one

Guess Im not the only one who builds, goes back to stock and then rebuilds LOOOL

 

Thanks! You won't be disappointed

Thanks! This time I've decided to get a little more involved than just simple mods

 

very nice wheels! do you experience any vibrations at the current height?

 

Thank you! Yes I experience quite a few vibrations, and wobble while accelerating but I have gotten used to it.

 

At a local show n shine last weekend... iPhone-ography

 

Small update:
Rear fenders rolled... now my wheels can fit flush and proper.

With how bad the roads are here, riding static is something I have to deal with as this is my daily driver... starting to think more and more about bags (?)

Got a picture with a GSF at a local Lexus meet

 

Good to see you back at it again! Yea the front end conversion makes a big difference! ����

 

bags are so much more convenient but don't have the same stability as coils. some days I miss my coils but I just air out and get over it, haha.

 

Thanks man! Yeah the one condition for me to build this again, was to do something about the boring front end haha.

I'm trying to find a suitable air piston or cup kit... basically the best of both worlds! Problem is that the AWD chassis isn't too popular with many of these companies..
