Greetings Lex Family,

I'm searching for a recommended shop between Queens,NY & Long Island,NY that can
handle the installations below

I have 99 GS300 with no mods yet because I can't find a good performance mechanic
Between Long Island & Queens. I would sure appreciate any recommendations you give.

Here are a list of parts I want to purchase next (10/08) week and have installed.

**Precision upgrade Torque converter.
**A set of 18" Katana Destiny rims (Hyper-Black) probably a packaged deal from Wheelmax
**L-sportline performance shocks and springs
**Borla exhaust system.

Ps..what do you think of the mods for a beginner

 

hey, my mechanic can do all that for you. He does his work at home but does a great job on all his work. He changed my clutch and full engine tune up, did my friend's downpipe/coilovers rebuilt his own engine (supra single turbo). He's young but he def knows his stuff. The only thing is that i don't even know if he has time to fix your car. I'll ask him if you'd like. He lives by glen cove road by exit 39.

 

also he won't abuse your car like all those shops do. very nice guy to say the least.

 

also nyblklex the borla exhaust system won't do much if any at all to your preformance, make a bfi if you want some preformance gains.

 

Thanks for the info Mr Shabo. Can you find out what he charges for labor i'll
supply the parts. I was interested in the Borla exhaust because I understand
it gives a nice low profile rumble is there another exhaust out there that provides
a low rumble and extra horsepower without all the noise.

Ps... Where are you located i'm on Long Island

 

Mr Shabo do you have any thoughts on this combo Bilstein Sport Shocks & H&R Sport Springs. If my reseach is correct i should be able to get about a 1 1/4 " drop in the front and 1 1/3" drop in
the rear as for the handling and comfort does it come close or the same as the L-Tuned springs & shocks.

Ultima Performance in Lynbrook, L.I. They know Lexus, they did mine and many other Lexus suspension. Since they are very familiar with our cars, the prices are good, cause they won't take to long trying to figure things out. It's straight forward for them. Ask for Mike or Hamed 516-593-3500. Good driving.

 

Are you guys going to the Meet on sunday?

 

Guy's i think we should put together a small Long Island. What do you think?

 

Does that mean you're coming, angelslex? For those who don't know, the meet will be held at Alley Pond Park in Queens NY, not far from Long Island, and it's off of exit 29 from the LIE. It's happening this coming Sunday the 12th, during the Columbus Day weekend so most of you don't have to worry about working on Monday. We have about 20-odd people signed up for the meet so far, and could use several more If you're interested in coming to the meet, let me know or PM me.
