Tire shop mis installed one of the valve stems so one side is still in the air hence why it's so high.

Had to run a small 5mm spacer up front which then called for ARP longer studs. I'm OCD so she has ARP wheel studs front and rear now. Here it is in all it's glory, ARP Wheel Studs, Project Kics R40 neochrome lugs and Rays Gramlight 57Xtremes. Have my interior torn apart right now while some trim pieces get done in Carbon Fiber. Should be done by Friday. November I plan to do my last mod of the year before Hot Import Nights Houston. Stay tuned for that .













Regards,
Robert

Things happen bro. As long as the driver is safe and alive, it'll be alright to another day. Reading the end to this thread, he has it quite beautiful again so it's always nice to see someone enthusiastic about they're car bounce back. I love Club Lexus

PandaGS300:

Everything has bolts and clips holding it. Just take some time and you can figure it all out.

aneidiaz:

It was a hit and run. It was parked at the Marriot for TX2k15 while I was upstairs asleep. I walked out to that unfortunately. On the flip side that's why I have full coverage with uninsured motorist and every last mod insured with them. Cost me zero to get it fixed .


Wait till you guys see my pics tonight! I'm pretty excited about my new mod I'm installing tonight!!

Regards,
Robert

Do you still have the tan interior? I'm looking for the leather skin cover from the bottom section of the passenger side that you sit on. I'm in Houston too.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry been off of here for sometime. Once MVP no longer was a vendor on here they banned my account. I tried to get it unbanned, name change or something so I could still post but no dice so just went ahead and made a new SN. Sucks but oh well is what is is. Below is where the car was when I dropped her off at PHR for the next round of power mods. Dyno sheet is from TX2K16 earlier in the year on gate and prior to the last engine bay pic which the car picked up a pretty decent amount of power with the new intercooler setup. CX Racing one that I had before was tiny in comparison.

New things since my last update

C&C Built Automatic, FTI3200 RPM Stall, JZA80 Apexi FMIC was custom fitted, PHR IS300 fan Shroud and MKIV Radiator, hardpipe with quick connect fittings, Carbing Front Strut, HKS Coilovers, Diamond stitched seat covers, carbon fiber interior trim, Silk Blaze steering wheel, F-Sport Shift ****, PHR Pulley Set, Brian Crower 272 camshafts, Brian Crower Dual Valve Spring/Ti Retainer Kit, GSC Valve Stem Seals and more I'm forgetting I'm sure. Car is currently at PHR in Ft Worth, TX getting an ECUMaster EMU installed along with a fuel system upgrade, we hope to be around 600rwhp taking the little 6266 up to 35psi or so.











































Hopefully I will be getting my car back from PHR in the next few weeks. Plans are to save up some pennies again, upgrade the turbo system to their S23 turbo kit with a 6870 or 7175(haven't decided yet), add a small 75 shot for the launch, PCS Transmission Controller, DSS 9 Inch Rear end, Weld S77 drag pack and a RS1200 Billet Main Shortblock so I can hopefully tap 1000rwhp through the auto. So if anyone is interested the Rays are for sale!

Robert
