how's it going guys?

hope i'm welcome to CL...

picked up a 98 GS400, 140k miles (high, but planning on rebuild),
17" chrome wheels, pearl white, 60% tinted, HIDs...

picked it up for real cheap.

let's say, cheap enough to put the SRT twin turbo kit on it and still be under some going rates on 98 GS400s



lot's of reading to do for me.

looking to first change the exhaust...
upgrade to 6000k HIDs
lower and upper braces
TRD sways
Tein Flex setup
Volk or Work rims 18x8.5 in the front, 18x9.5 in the rear
L-Tuned body kit

any suggestions?

 

Welcome Terry, congrats on your new GS!

If you don't already know about it, there is also a local Chicago Lexus forum (not sure where in IL you are) you might want to look at from time-to-time. http://www.chicagolexusclub.com

 

Welcome and congrats!!

I also just picked up my 98 GS400 2 weeks ago. Got it off a private owner for $22,500. 60K miles.

Got it for my wife but she knows I think it's mine

Been busy up to my ears putting mods on it since I got it. Was bone stock when I picked it up. 2 weeks later and I'm getting close
to completing my MOD list.

Again CONGRATS!!!

 

thanks for the kind words guys...

actually,

i'm trying to find some online places to purchase some goodies.

maybe have a post or something for deals?


looking for a power extreme

i'll definitely check out the chicago site

thanks!

Welcome aboard Terry. Car enthusiast are always welcomed, especially Lexus ones.

Looking at you mod list, you are in luck as the TRD sways just came in with Steve Ganz. He should be on your short list of people to contact about parts, Pretty cool guy to talk to.

Try him:

Phone: 1-800-908-6968

Good luck.

 

TerryTCL: how cheap was that?

 

Unless it was a negative amount and the guy paid you, I don't see how you could add the TT kit since it costs around what, $35K? That's more then what a 98 GS should cost you alone.

 

yikes...

i guess i do need to do more reading.

i thought the tt kits were in the range of 10k...




oh well... maybe i should just pick up the
manifolds.. and build up my own tt system.

cheap?

hm.... hehehe how about saying... i could've picked up a 2000 civic for the amount i paid for it...

1999-2000 civic going rates...


time to line up my modifications!

thanks for the welcomes guys....

 

On a GS300 $10k at SRT would get you roughly 450hp(350RWHP)[about the same as Toyomoto] including install and still have money left over for some suspension mods/ brakes maybe thats what you were thinking of. Or you could step up an extra $2k and have 640hp(480RWHP)[including Install].
