Price:

$6,100 obo


Car:

1998 LS 400
4.0L V8
Automatic
Black/grey 2 tone
Tan leather
176k
6 disk changer
Heated front seats
HID headlights



Mods:

Megan Racing LP Coilovers
25mm 5x114.3 --> 5x120 bolt on spacers
BMW 7 series wheels 19x9 -1 / 19x10 -1

Mentionables:

Brand new rear tires (300miles currently) and nearly new fronts
Rebuilt alternator 5k ago
New battery 5k ago as well
Brand new pads front and rear. New rotors in the rear. (about 2k ago) Fronts could be turned.
As far as I can tell all the interior electronics work.
Stereo is really good for factory
OEM touchscreen is great
OEM navigation is terribly out of date but is a cool novelty and does work
Interior is great. Driver seat belt is a bit dirty cause I work at a metal shop but I clean the leather regularly
Body is in great shape for being 14 years old
Front fenders rolled (fender liner still installed)
Rear fenders pulled about 1.25". Could use a bit of camber in the rear to help clearance but I don't have adjustable arms.


Bad:

1. I disconnected the height sensors because it's too low for them (found this out by breaking the rear rod that connects to the lower control arm) so the headlight leveling, VSC, and ABS are all off.

2. the p/s pump has a bad bearing and will squeal over 3k rpm but that doesn't matter for me cause the car will scrape the hell out of the tires if you go over 1/2 throttle.

3. check engine light. Say's faulty o2 sensor and will randomly come on and go off.






I've loved this car for the past year driving and since I lowered it and put these wheels on it, I'm really sad I have to sell it. If I could afford to keep it I totally would and keep making it rad, but I can't. I'm not desperate to sell it quite yet, but I am motivated to get rid of it in the next month so I can get a truck for the drift season.

The stock wheels and suspension will be sold with it.

Feel free to contact me for questions. Thank you for looking.

They might talk like this over at JDMC or Supraforums, but pretty sure it won't be tolerated on CL.

Very nice set up. What tire size are you running?
