GClarks next car?

The bags on the 400 don't like to be dropped. They end up rupturing if you drive it like that. Unless it is an aftermarket setup. I still might snag an LS one of these days. I drove an LS430 a few weeks ago and it was probably the most comfortable I have been in a car.

 
Got one, details tomorrow

Alright, I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Car is a 1991 LS400, 101k. Im the third owner. No rust, but there are some deep scratches that go down to the metal/other scuffs. I'm not sure if I should get the whole thing repainted or just the scratched areas. Interior is very very clean. Leather is all together with minimal wear. The subwoofer disintegrated in my hand today, so I need to get a new one of those. And the HVAC screen is blank, another common problem.

I love how quiet the car is, no creaks, no rattles. I'm not use to that. Acceleration is very smooth, and the car can get it out of it's own way with no problem (250hp, 260tq). The steering is so smooth and easy. The seats are extremely comfortable, especially the back seats. Trunk is big too. Car also came with a first aid kit, tool kit, and a little Lexus towel. All never used, and in brand new condition. Basically the people who owned this car were terrible drivers, but clean people.

Plans with this car are pretty simple. Fix the broken things, get it painted, tint, coilovers, 18x8.5/10 wheels, and call it a day. Exhaust will be welded on some time this week up in Whorono. Need to get the valves adjusted eventually too, they tick. But from what I've read, it's a normal thing.

 
370z wheels look very good, but I can get a set of these for the same price.

There was litterally just a 2010 STI Hatch parked outside with those wheels, but with a less ridiculous offset/width. Not sure what they are though.

 
Those are XXR 521. These will be around 5 offset.

Here she is:



Engine:











Tool kit



Lots of trunk space



The bad:

wow with the black interior too! you don't see those much. Nice catch. Mind if I ask how much it set you back (pm is cool if you don't want to post).

 
I see a theme. Mike gets boosted legacy wagon , g gets a wagon. Mike builds boosted integra. G buys integra. Mike buys Lexus and slams it on wide wheels. G buys Lexus with intent to slam it on wide wheels. Hrmmmmm

Sigh. You wanna do this? Let's go.

When I was looking for a turbo Subaru, because my Outback was slow, I had two choices. Get the expensive wrx, or the only other turbo subaru in the U.S. other than the super slow turbo GL. So I went with the less expensive touring wagon.

After seeing the turbo hondas racing at Epping, I was intrigued by their ability to go so fast, on so little power (and budget). After I sold the OBS, I needed a DD. Either a Lexus or Acura. I figured the Acura was perfect, fast, good mpgs, etc... Which it was. It's one of the most fun cars I've driven. But also the most useless. Can't start from a dig. Highway is fast, but you're going triple the speed limit in 3 seconds while torque steering. It was also an attention getter, I had people trying to race me all the time. I'm also not a huge fan of the how it sounds. But it was a very well built car, and it was extremely fun. Would have been a great weekend car if I kept it. (but I dont need two race cars.)

So now I'm back to needing a DD. I dont want a camry,corrola, merc, bmw, acura, chevy,dodge, or another Subaru. So what does that leave me with. Lexus. Find me a more reliable luxury car that's RWD and a V8. Which has a local mechanic that has worked on them before. That looks perfect slammed on the ground. You can't.

Point is, I'm not on Mike's nuts. If I was, I'd be like Jack and Fresh Nick. Where I buy the exact same car, buy the exact same carbon fiber pieces, and get the same tattoo. Don't even begin to infer that I am. I've heard it before, and it pissed me off. I do my own thing. Besides, I'm sure you were just being facetious to begin with.
