Damn that looks slammed !!! MORE PICS MAN!
Were there ANY Mods you'd like to own?

They have the Dulles Landing every Sat only from like 7-10 and Sun Katie's Coffee is the BIG one where you need to be there by like 5am to get a spot! You'll see some SERIOUS collectibles there! - though I'm not 100% sure its as full w all this COVID ****. Now that I think of it I'm not going there until Fall most likely! 100x more terrified of this **** than I was in Iraq!

I'm just copy and pasting from my intro post, more pics in the GSF intro thread:
-Currently sits on D2 air suspension w/ ride height sensors and Vera management. In October I will be switching to Fortune Auto coilovers
-Freed Engineering in MD did a full custom exhaust with 4.5" tips, it sounds incredible
-Waiting to be installed are my Work Zeast ST3's, Novel rear diffuser and FIGS Eng. rear camber arms

Someone mentioned a VA Lexus Club meet in Woodbridge at 570 Harbor Side St. on Sunday. Anyone going to that? I guess it was put on Facebook which I don't have.

Referring to this past weekend. She doesn’t have face book , as many people don’t. It’s easier to discover meets and such if you have facebook or instagram.

Not sure if you bought them yet, but I read that you can buy some other Lexus bushings (I think the ISF ones maybe) for like 1/4 to 1/3 the price that are just as good.

Default NOVA SC300 Owner

I’m a NOVA (Centreville) SC300 NA-T owner looking to join other Lexus owners at Cars &Coffee in Dulles.

My build thread is here.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...w58-build.html

Here is a pic of the old girl:



I’m always looking to talk things Lexus, NA-T, turbos, and learn new crap.

I enjoy working on the car and do all my own work.

Bruce

Good morning and new to the area and hoping to link up with my fellow Lexus owners eventually. I have an 2016 IS 300 awd that is my commuter and semi-sleeper and was thinking about the super charger which would require headers. I have been searching the web but have hit a dead end, trying to figure out the car inspection rules. I am the Alexandria area can anyone direct me where I can get accurate information if my car will be street legal in Northern Virginia if I drop this money on it?

There is the state inspection sticker on the windshield.
There is the registration dates that go on the license plate.
The inspection is yearly and the emissions is every two years when you renew registration.
Then there is the personal property tax you pay to the county for the car and they give you a sticker that is suppose to go on the windshield. In 6 years of living here I have never put it on the windshield.
Yes you have to pay personal property tax on the car every year. After you register the car you will get a notice from the county about the personal property tax.

During normal times the cops only care about the registration and inspection if you get pulled over. I've been driving around almost a year with an expired inspection sticker, nobody cares. Actually the inspection is not required to renew your registration only passing emissions. There is a car in my apartment complex that's someones daily and the guy has an inspection sticker from 2016, hats off to that guy, lol.

"Passing Emissions" is my number one concern. I have talked to Simon and with the supercharger and full bolt own's no codes are present. My concern is someone looks under the car or plugs in to the port.

Just do the drive by emissions test then nobody is looking under the car or plugging anything in.

Probably no supercharger in its future but just put on the ARK exhaust and waiting on the headers to arrive. I could not be happier so far, putting on the stopteck slotted rooters this weekend. Taking her to Summit Point track at the end of July to "exercise" her.
