Default New LS400 member from VA

Hey guys, new member here to CL, but not to internet forums. I'm also an active member on:

Audizine
AudiWorld
MacRumors
NASIOC
StanceWorks
WERA
VaDriven
VWVortex

just to name a few. lol

Monday [4/25/11] I picked up a 1997 Lexus LS400 Coach Edition with just barely 83,xxx on the clock. I love this car, and it's in almost excellent condition. The upper bumper piece is a little faded, and there's a scratch on the front drivers side door. The interior is immaculate and even has the Coach floormats, which unfortunately I cannot find anywhere! The car does need a new P/S pump, two front brake hoses, and a belt job, but for what I paid for it I can't complain.

Here's a picture of it when I first brought it home:



A little background info for anyone who's still reading and interested. My first car was a 2000 Civic EX, which I still currently have. It's been my DD for the past 7, almost 8 years. I've had it since I was 15 years old, and I still love this car. Great memories, great gas mileage, and it's never done me wrong. I messed with it here and there, but nothing worth talking about. I did a couple of Auto-X events but nothing significant. It currently has 178,xxx on the original engine and trans and still runs great.

I also have a 2007 GSX-R 600 which is my track/race bike. I do track days with TPM, and hope to do some racing with CCS late this season/start of next season.

Here's a picture of me at VIR:



That's really it. The only plans I have for it is a professional detail, wheels, suspension, and audio. I bought this car because I wanted something I could comfortably cruise in and not spend all my money modding. I'm in Central VA and my name is Nick. Thanks for reading my introduction.

Also, here's the reference thread as required.
