Default new ride

Hey All
Just found club lexus today
I just bought a new(well a 98) gs400
i already have the mod bug(funny how even witha 300hp car you can want more)
i was wondering what the first basic performance upgrade that I can do is
Also is anyone aware of a turbo package that can be easly put in with out totally gutting the engine?
Anyways any reply is helpful
Thanks
(this is my car, the first thing I am going to do is replace these crappy winter rims, i have the factory chrome 17" ones in my basement wrapped in z rated firehawks)

Good lookin Green 4 - Congrats.

Yeah, like the others said, cruise back through each of the Forums until you come across something that interests you, then read all you can.

Start playing around with the Search function - its not a precision tool, but you can make it work.

search terms for starters:
exhaust
intake
suspension
brakes
tires


You get the idea.

Try to do at least one search before posting a question - we've gone over a ton of material, usually more than once.

Welcome

you might want to start by looking for nicer 16" rims for your snow tires....

enjoy the new car!

Welcome my friend,

Your lexus looks like it is going to be a snow car, looks nice from what i can see, the picture is kind of small. Enjoy the new ride.
