So last year while looking for a practical wee diesel fiesta i bought an LS400......
much smoothness and comfort! (who needs mpg anyway....)
that lasted about a week before i bought some super cheap rotas off ebay which turned out to be shagged and i rolled around at 4x4 status for a while
After i came back from sea i decided lows were needed and got some bc racing coilovers, ended up getting a garage to fit them as every bolt either snapped or was siezed solid (p.s. lexus parts are EXPENSIVE)
also got the rear windows tinted for etra drug dealer status (yes the rear was sitting way too low)
since these wheels had a shit paintjob on them a lovely par of work ryders were ordered from japan, spacers ordered and rolling of the arches commenced!. unforturnately one of the wings creased where one of the inner arch tabs was a bit rusted but I lived with that for a fair while.
adjusted for maximum lows (taken with a potato)
note the hanging piece of plastic thanks to many speedbumps
unfortunately I took it to a car wash
and they used some super corrosive shit on my wheels and now every wheel looks like this.... raging
so to cheer myself up i took it to driftland and got the diff welded
they also did a drift inspection and all my bushed were ruined, no wonder it handled horribly so while i was waiting for parts to arrived i fitted the new/used wing
come spring ill paint it or something but at least the crack in this one isnt as bad haha.
then it was off back to driftland for many parts that i cant fit by myself using a socket set (and lazyness)
so a year and a half later its pretty much finished at this point but ill keep yas updated of results of drift days/crashes.
I dont fancy fitting a hydro as it would take away from the VIPness of it, but a smaller steering wheel may be fitted cos the standard one is gigantic.
