Default Hi, Im new here! ok not really... but here is my Namie...

2001 Lexus GS430...oh yes. 2 more cylinders than Christina, 1.3Ls more discplacement...

Namie Ho 好萍萍

She was named after Namie Amuro, why? because she is tan blonde and japanese... so the first person i thought of was the singer Namie Amuro...







So basically everything that was on Christina is gonna go into Namie...

hey, im gonna unload some of my GS stuff from before, mainly all the 01-05 goodies.

off the top of my head:

- dark grey center vents
- 01-05 cluster bezel
- 01-05 complete rear tail lights in and out + wiring harness
- eventually my HID bowls + hid clips (im doing an rx330 swap and have a spare set of halogen headlights to test fit and reuse the halogen clips which are needed for the retrofit)

other than that, cant think of anythign else right now.

feels the same, other than the smoother power band.

ride is a lot smoother, very soft, thats probably why i switched to the teins in less than 2 weeks after i got my original gs, Christina.

brakes on this gs, Namie, are way more sensitive.

just did the oil today, and changed up whatever fluids i could without breaking my back. took a look underneath, aside from a little damage to the front passenger tow hook, it looks pretty solid.

I love your interior, Namie... Soft and silky-smooth!

Very clean, I might add...
