Default Intake for the GS430

Yesterday I ordered an injen intake system for the 2nd gen GS430 since Swift Racing Technologies hasn't come out with a new 430 intake. The 2nd gen should fit no problem since the engine is unchanged from the 2nd gen. I will let you guys know if the intake is compatible with the 3rd gen.

I think he said he as the Tein coils or springs. I think Tein uses his car as a test car.
