Long time Lurker here
What up CL! I've been trolling this site for over a year now and I must say this forum is the most informative site I've ever been on. Any questions I have I just search and there it is. I fell in love with the 2nd Gen back when I was in High School and wanted one ever since. Fast forward 13 years later and 6 months of looking for the right priced GS with low miles I picked this up this white Gs400 for $6k with 128k on the dash.
Here"s a pic of my old ride. Lost her in a accident and never got to finish build her the way I wanted to but you can see where it was headed.

Now onto the GS. This is when I first got her. I know the pics are pretty bad.

After about 5 months of having the GS I left my boy's house one morning and found my car hit. Some ***hole hit my drivers side fender which left a dent and a broken driver's side headlight. Filed a claim where insurance quoted $1500 in damage. They wanted to replace the fender, bumper, and headlight with some aftermarket parts but after talking to the body shop I ended up getting everything replaced with OEM parts. Also picked up a TTE Rep Lip while the car was getting painted. A few months later I picked up some BC Racing Coilovers.
Right after getting the car back from my mechanic.

It looked nice but the car was wayy too low for Boston's horrible roads. Brought her home and raised it an inch all the way around. I hated the white grill so I decided to tackle the DYI Chrome Grille mod. I think the car looks way better without the white grill now. I also picked up a set of JDM Window Visors.

Before I got my Coilovers I was searching Craigslist and came across a set of 19" Rays Wheels for $600 with brand new tires. I felt that was a deal I couldn't pass up on for 19's with tires that would transform the look of the car n make it a little light on its feet so I pulled the trigger. I'll probably keep these on for now until I save up some more cash and take care of some maintenance, then I'll get some nice 19" Mesh styled wheels for the summer set up.
Now onto the pics.

Thanks
As of right now just take care of some maintenance on the car like timing belt and water pump. I just found out when I got my alignment last weekend that I need new UCA's and inner Tie-rods.
So now i need to find some quality parts to replace them with.
