Nice ride bro. I have a 2002 GS , bought it brand new 22 years ago . Same color as yours. Got it fixed up the next day I bought it. Tein Super Street dampers dropped 2 inches , Firs run MRR staggered 19 " wheels and Magna flow catback . All 22 years old . This car is a beast. Nice work on your build.

[@JSteezy3]

@@dennisdiamse4506 classic man so classic, I wish i could see how it looked cause I know at that time this car even now still is clean. Thank you for the compliment just getting through the rough parts with it but I plan to do as much as I can and keep this car forever

[@hypster814]

I got a 97 Lexus LS400 recently. One of my dream cars. Wanted to do a slammed VIP bippu forever, got the thing and I cannot reduce its reliability. It's a tank. It fits my kids. It will outlast my wife's 23 Camry. I appreciate these builds from afar now. Well done

[@JSteezy3]

@@hypster814 I appreciate that very much. Honestly the Lexus LS400 Universally is one of the greater most simplistic automobiles ever created. They just work, and that’s the best part. That 1UZ-FE motor is literally 1 million miles capable

Keep doin what you doin bruh! It’s gonna get there and next thing you know, you just build your dream car the way you want it to.

[@JSteezy3]

@@jerryorden9294 likewise brother, it just takes time and patience and with discipline surely it will get to where I want it to be

[@804MRMAN]

If your Tein's can only be height adjusted they are Street Basis Z, If they are height and dampening adjustable they are Advanced Z street. SBZ 8kfr 6kr, AZ 10kfr 8kr. Flex Z 12k fr 10kr are the middle class, they are fully adjustable true coilovers not using any parts of the oem shock body, with a more aggressive damping for street or track. They have more options for the GS but these are the normal ones.

I found out a while ago I forgot while making the video appreciate that

[@Nellyville919]

Just wait til you go turbo/engine build. Big money. I spent 2k just for a turbo, intercooler, turbo manifold. No piping. Ill probably 20k all in when its done

[@JSteezy3]

That’s the plan and I know it’s gonna be expensive to boost, but I’m either thinking about building the motor and eventually doing a trans swap or just for now just go na-t

I've had two different alignment shops tell me my GS300 rear was seized. So I took it home and checked everything and nothing was seized. Finally the 3rd spot just did the alignment and didn't try to upsell me anything. So I am hesitant to just believe people

Yes, erase your codes with scanner, or disconnect battery for 10 seconds, then see which code comes up first. Then go after that code/codes first. Then see if anymore codes reoccur, one step at a time time.
