Happy New Year Club Lexus!! Hey I was just digging and found an old pic of my car from when I first came to Club Lexus. And I thought I would start a Before and After thread. Hopefully others will post pics of their cars from before they started modding to the way they look now. I have to say that I barely recognize my car from 4 or so years ago. I have had a lot of fun modding my car and I thank you guys for all of your input.



Here is my before pic probably 3-4 years ago.

 

And here is a pretty recent pic. Hope I don't get in trouble for having a girl on there but it was the closest I could find to the other angle.

 

The car looks good Automan! Nice transformation! The chick is hot also!

 

I will post some later on tonight, cant do it at work since photobucket is blocked, but Wringo should post some . Automan, your car has come a long way, looking good! Keep up the good work!

 

nice transformation. Thinking about upgrading taillights?

 

I have a few upgrades coming along but, I'll see what I can do!

 

Nice to see how your car has evolved

 

Wow! Awesome color change.

Looks good!!

 

The taillights will probably happen sometime this year for sure but I have a few other things on the list before I get to that. Thanks for the compliments but we need some more pics. I see that list of mods below everyone's post so come on with it.

Another question is the advertised 225HP for a stock 1998 GS300 225 to the wheels? If not how much HP does it put out to the wheels?

 

its 225 to the crank. should be around 180whp or so. Time to boost

 

Car looks very nice Automan!
180 to the wheels. I arrived at that number by reducing the 225 by 20% which is typically what is lost through the drivetrain.


Here is a before and three afters: (nothing much compared to yours though).




After:

 

Much improvement Looks goods the hard work paid off

 

Wow nice transformation! Hot car..........and chick!

 

Here are some of my pic's:

Begining modding with L-tuned s/s and L-tuned grille!
