Give it to me. So many options will disappear and you will be left with nothing to worry about.

Mariusz,

That's such a good suggestion. Why didn't I think of that at the beginning? How's everything with you?

Everything is cool. 5 more weeks and counting till I drop my GS off for a serious surgery. Aside from that, I attended a local (Englishtown) Supra meet. Got a chance to witness a 720RWHP dyno run and meet some cool peple. I was disappointed, however, with the amount of Lexus owners that showed up.

I already have the L-Tuned suspension. The problem I am having right now is with traction. From about 0-30 at full throttle the back tires are slipping. Even though the tires are almost brand new, I figure they are not wide enough.

If I had a choice between looks and performance, I would go with performance. I know you guys recommend such things as a TC but what do they generally cost after install??

Also, does anyone know what mods will void the warranty on my car? Will a TC?

UTGS- as far as warrenty issue's it all depends on your dealership, for example my dealers were cool with all the mods I have on my car they actually replaced my TPS free of charge for me even though my warrenty was long gone, now other dealers will be ****** and tell you if you do any kinfd of mods it will void your warrenty, a T/C would probably void your tranny, but alot of people have it installed in there cars and the only ones that are having problems with it are the ones with a GS430, and even theb the obly problem they have is the check engine light turns on but the car is running fine
