    Andy Stacy was doing some photoshoots at the Import Alliance Meet. Got a chance to be photographed. Pretty cool. The pictures came out flawless and definitely gave me some motivation for my picture taking skills!

    By far my all time favorite pictures of my car hands down! Just wish I was already bagged!

    I had another misfortune happen to me the other day. My little cousin thought he was helping out by putting a spare tire chalk in front of my car from our boat which is also parked in the garage. I left to go somewhere not knowing it was there and it came up with the tire and basically wedged itself in between the tire and the fiberglass bumper. As you may remember the other side of the bumper is already suffering from a tire retread that I hit on GA400. Good thing I haven't sent the bumper to get painted yet otherwise it would be back for twice as long. Money is tight right now so I am going to wait until I finish the air ride install (which I am still waiting on to get here - stupid customs) to fix the cracks in the bumper.

    This is damage that is done on the side where the tire chalk was. It cracked the side and the whole piece parallel to the tire tread from the bottom all the way up.



    So, I took the bumper off. This is my motivation not to drive the car until it is done lol. I love driving it too much. This is how low I hope the bumper will be once the air ride is on. We'll see



    This is the side that was previously a victim to the GA400 alligator

    Today, I received some new toys for my car. Can you guess what they are?



    .

    ..

    ...

    ....

    .....

    ......

    .......

    ........

    Can you guess now?



    Thanks to jroring on Club Lexus here I got a set of USDM 2JZGTE cams machined to fit the 2JZGE VVT-i. In terms of performance.

    USDM GTE cams specs:

    Intake: 233 deg
    Lift: 8.25mm

    Exhaust: 233 deg
    Lift 8.4mm

    Exhaust apparently has 1.17mm more left than GE vvti cams.

    Stock GTE cams are good for around 650-700rwhp!

    Here is a website with the specification

    http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm

    Unwrapping



    So nice! I can't wait to get these on the car.









    My priorities are on the air ride set right now. But as soon as those are done I will be focused on putting on these bad boys!

    thanks everyone, yeah the eye lids are hit or miss with people but i like em!

    Time to update again. I know I am jumping all over the place with the mods. Air ride, cams, now this little thing!

    I was able to pick up this carbon fiber overlay gauge cluster/bezel piece a while back from lexusscturbo on CL for a steal.

    Made payment and it was on my doorstep in a few days!

    Opening it up



    Close up



    The old bezel had to go. I didn't realize that this bezel was for the 98-00 GS not the 01+ since it didn't have clearance for the rings on the 01+ bezel I had to go an alternate route to make this piece work.



    Good bye bezel



    The donor car! Veritek gave me one of his old bezels from his 98 GS300 Turbo to test fit. It worked like a charm and he had a spare that he got when he purchased DaveGS4's Supercharged GS4 so now I have that part on my car! Thanks to Bing and Dave for the part! I plan on making use of the custom LEDs that were installed on the cluster too!





    Swapping out clusters



    Mine!



    Prepping and taping starts. Took off the ODO, Reset switch so the paint could adhere better.



    All taped up



    Ready for paint! Since this pod was gray and not black I had to paint her up so that when I installed the carbon it wouldn't show gray under it in the areas that it didn't cover.









    Done!



    Putting it in my car!





    Carbon piece going on!







    Done!

    Turned out really nice!!! I even like the plain painted black dash before you put on the carbon overlay for some reason.

    I’ve been waiting for a set of these for over 3 years now! I finally came across a great deal for them and jumped on them quick! Yay for JDM parts!!!

    Wow light box!







    I love bubble wrap.









    Yeah! Aristo baby!









    Time to remove, replace, and take pics!















    Fronts done!











    Rears done!



    The stocks are in great condition and will be up for sale soon!
