Cool Newbie

Hello!

Newbie in the house am from U.A.E

owner of a '94 GS300 this used to be my 1st car b4 getting the 3000GT then I left it for home use and now am back again but this time I wanna mod the hell out of this car

previous car 97 3000GT TT (Gone in an accident )

is it true the US Spec GS300 is somewhere around 3500lbs - 3700lbs??? coz I can tell you that mine is very very light, lighter than my 3000GT, and no my 3000GT ain't heavy as the US Spec it was somewhere around 1620kg (3565lbs)

I only raced a porsche boxster and put 2 cars on him never bothered to race V8s

anyway am looking for bolt-ons for the 2JZGE any links would be nice

Here's a link to the FIrst Gen GS300 FOrum, you will probably find some nice things there, Rico's Revenge has a really nice first Gen GS3 setup, check his car out.

Welcome LS!

I'm moving your post INTO the 1st GEN GS forum so you get hooked up with the most connections for your GS.

Welcome, Sauce. According to the Lexus CPO site, the 1997 GS300 weighs 3660 lbs. I don't believe the 1993-1996 models were much different.

I don't consider a 3500 lb. car to be light. My other car checks in at about 2570 lbs.

sweet......the only problem you might have is if you decide to go with a body kit. for some reason that silver doesn't match up to well. so what's your first mod going to be? turbo? rims? suspension? body kit?

if you need help, ask away!!

Well I am not sure what exactly is available for the 2JZGE

I am not a fan of bodykits, more like leaving it stock and work on the engine bay
