Hey Guys,
I'm new here and i just got my 1st soon to be VIP car today so i wanted to post up some pics, show you what i got, ask a few questions, and get some advice. first things first i know you guy are dying to see the car so. . .

its a 94 with 114k miles on it and stock air suspension all around. What really sold me on the car was the black interior i LOVE the black on back. it was owned by an older couple that trades it on something newer at a dealer ship down the road from me. i picked it up for about 4,000 witch i thought wasn't a bad price.






















so there is its got a few kinks . . .

1st- the driver side seat refuses to lean back but only on the left side, the right side of the seat works fine but the left doesn't move at all, is this a common problem and what will it take to fix? Any one have any suggestions?

2nd- The speedo seems to only work some times it comes and goes

Do.Man

nice..welcome bro.
your off to a good start with air sus.

just make sure to not drive with it dumped on OEM air. the bags blow pretty quick.

LowN'Slow

sure thing . . . is it ok to leave it parked dumped tho? . . . . the stock air will only be temporary, i plan on replacing with a whole new system asap

Welcome,, looks like you picked up a really clean car there.

As far as the seatback leaning only on one side, this is a common problem. Basically there is a splined tube which connects the 2 sides of the seat motors together and normally one side of that splined tube wears out. You can use the serch feature on this forum to see further discussion on this issue.

In regards to the speedo issue, check the stickied section at the top of the forum concerning the dash.

LowN'Slow

thanks man . . . the LS life is the Good life . . . lol

but i have another question that i cant seem to find an answere to . . . im my Ls has stock bags as mentioned above and im looking for an Air Data Controller so i can get it on the ground

does any1 have any info on how these work or where i can get more info on them and where i might be able to buy them?

search ebay, craigslist (long shot), or post a want ad here and im sure youll find one. also if you want to get rid of your stock bags (upgrade) let me know, im looking to take my car back to stock sus


oh yeah, clean car. i think you got a good deal.

Sweet! Love the black on black as well!

I just got mine this week, silver exterior, blue interior. Not very attractive.

Also sitting at the garage.

Yours is better.

LowN'Slow

haha yeah it was quick . . . Ive been a BMW guy my whole life and i thought id try something different with the VIP style but since Ive owned the car i haven't really felt comfortable in it . . . its hard to explain it just doesn't really 'fit' me right and i find myself longing for another BMW and i cant justify spending money and time modding the car to get it the way i want it when i could be modding a BMW lol . . there for i must sell it and go back to my true love lol

Thanks for the complements MAX . . . it was quite a find

Max Power

I totally hear you. I don't feel right in the LS400 either. Definitely not my style of car but it's a car and I got it cheap.
