Nice, looking forward to seeing yours I might do that too eventually. I need to try to get a beam shot this weekend.
Brah, you are taking the 10 cent an hour Chinese kid who wrote that ebay ad too serious.
I took a few legit pics yesterday. its got some rake but my dub *** took pics on a hill so it looks super raked.

BRAVISSIMO!
your build is an absolute F-U to everyone that says you can only vip the UCF platform.
i'm sure steering is nice and tight with all those upgraded suspension components + strut bar tower
plus the 17" rpf's are mint, all that side wall keeps things nice and cushy after the coils I bet!
extremely tasteful as well, , the yellow accenting is a perfect touch to the blue and alloy
I could go on and on..

Thanks, it is getting there, my front and rear UCAs still need to be upgraded and I still feel like it needs a ton of other refreshes to be just right.
I really need to make a splitter for it, the steering goes lighter when hitting onramps in a spirited way. It isn't the most confidence inspiring sensation.

Dude, even though this car is 20 years old
with a couple slight refreshes and mods it will pretty much keep up with any modern day sport sedan - I am personally aiming to get around the 400hp range
Fabbing a front + rear splitter plus tuning suspension components, I feel would be your best solution for that light steering sensation you get when you throttle it onto the on ramps. Possibly try those polyurethane sway bar bushings if you haven't already?
Do you know how much weight you've possibly deleted while modding your LS?

the rear has poly but the fronts are just ingalls rubber replacements. I need to mod my endlinks to be a little shorter too. I bought superpro adjustable but they are slightly longer than OEM (I believe) because they don't thread all the way in.
I'd really be satisfied with just 300whp, i'm more of a "driving a slow car fast" type of person.
I'm also looking to switch out the fan to two 14-15" electric fans with a thermostat switch, since no one makes light weight/underdrive pulleys I guess it is the next best thing. But if anyone knows if I can tap into that bolt on the top of the thermostat housing, that would be great, otherwise it is going to be trial and error.

I really like what you did with your LS. This is definitely the sort of direction that I would like to go when I start freshening mine up. I'm not a big fan of stretched tires or the VIP look, but rather the "tuner" or function over form aspect. In the end, I feel that your wheel selection really brought the whole car together. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for it. Keep up the great job!

I'm getting a Mercedes-Benz 190E AMG vibe from this. It's really refreshing to see this build and I'm really excited to see what you do next! I was kinda taken aback by the wing, but I love it!
