whats up guys new to clublexus. brought a 1999 gs300 a while back and did a 2jz swap but never finished it got too expensive so it sat in the driveway for awhile. finally got some time to work on it need. it drives crappy i can punch it and it moves but when i get to a red light it stalls. so i brung it to a shop to get it tuned they fixed the stalling part but now when i punch it. it doesn't go move as quick ne more. here some pics. i don't know much about engines i did some interior modification to it. if anyone knows a good shop in bklyn i can bring it to





re upholster leather custom two tone





redid the dash mold it to a big alpine screen and moved the heating controls.



installed the remote into the center console to try to mimic the idrive lol

i wish i had known someone besides me was using the alpine hub....i actually have a spare im selling not to mention im removing mine after 2 years and getting rid of it. i would have been happy to sell it to you, what did you pay for yours? btw thats about the same place i put my remote but i centered mine...

whats with the big buldge on the passenger side of the armrest though? also that engine bay needs a good cleaning man. im assuming you bought this car as it sits or did you do or pay to have done the interior/engine mods

welcome aboard. The interior looks awesome for someone who did it himself.

whoa Kenny, it only took you like 4years to sign up! i saw the GS sitting for a good year and a half. Never thought you'd still complete it since you got that gangsta "cigarette racing" ride

but on the car troubles - PM puff, he's somewhat local and had his GS boosted. browse thru neloc sections for shops.
