Default New guy from SoCal

What's up guys. Thanks to this forum I decided to sell my RX8 (never-ending headache) and get into a Lexus and I'm glad I did. Picked this up about two weeks ago, threw an exhaust and coilovers on it and there we go. This site was an invaluable resource so thanks very much. I've always had really light, nimble cars so this is definitely a break from the norm but I like it. Love that V8.

Future mods: Going to swap out the tips on the M2 exhaust for something less ricey looking. Swap out the Headrests screens with new updated screens and ditch the VHS Player in the trunk for a new unit up front. Some 19's or 20's instead of the 18's, maybe an intake and I think I'm going to wrap her in Frozen Grey Matt vinyl (My side business). After that, who knows?

Welcome to the site. Be sure to get the maintenance done if you do not know the history. Looks like you did your homework so you would know about the balljoints failure.
The 2Gen is still my favorite.
HaHa, I had those same Prime Wheels on my old Nissan 300ZX. Brings back memories.
Have fun with the new ride.
