**WATISJDM's Lexus LS400 Build Thread..D2 / Work Wheels / Nardi / VIP

[watisjdm]

I bought this car with some 18" Rays Victrix and some heated springs and some F*cked up interior, so I have slowly started to get this thing back to where it needs to be and making it worthy.

Here are pics of how I got it

And Since I got it here is how it has over time looked

Then I added the Pink TE37's lol

Testing the new wheels

Holy Stretch Batman

and Updated as of 10/8/11 at our ISO/Stance Nation Meet with my D2 Coilovers (oh yeah tuckingg)

I will be slowly posting more pics of progress...should have my air bags on soon!!

oh btw and my new exhaust

just a few random pics

VIP Buddies

Tucking Rim Daily ....it would be tucking more, but driveway makes it look this way

Kinda showing the rear camber and new exhaust

just another random picture after a car meet we had this past weekend

ekkkk might be a problem

Got my One Piece Celsoir Headlights in from OG Thanks again bud

Finally Got a hold of TMengeering to order my Daizen Front Control Arm Bushings so I can do them while I do my UCF20 Brakes...They were the hardest people to get in contact with because everyone on Daizen's website that are "dealers" really arent anymore... I emailed the 2 Lexus dealerships and they replied saying that had not been a dealer for like 7 years... the other places said they werent dealers anymore either, So I had to order from TMengeering...so ordered and finally will be here tomorrow so I can install my brakes and my axles and what not

yay for bushings...now for the install!!

Why rubber? That stuff "lives" (ie moves) too much, so you can't have your fitment fine tuned precisely... hard or poly bushings is the way to go:shrug:

These Bushings are Poly.....hence why I replaced them

Any tips on how to get my front that low, I kinda have the same set up. 19x 9.5 +20 up front. Did you drill the tops?

I ordered custom short body D2 coilovers...I have not drilled the UCA hole yet...but Im going to this following week because it pretty much stays sitting on the chassis....funny thing is if you look at the pic below, you can see that I can actually go lower lol

:biggthumpup:

Thanks man....hopefully all this makes the car drive like day/night lol

Just ordered some R1 Concept Rear Slotted Rotors for my car and I'm going to paint the rear calipers the same color as the front

It's not really my cup of tea but cool to see something different. I actually like the first set of wheels.

 

[watisjdm]

thanks....yeah I liked the 1st set too, but everyone and their mom has that style rim on this year car and its getting played out to me

 

[Puma]

I liked the 1st wheels the best. They suit the beast size of the car, and just scream VIP to me. Love this car though!

 

[watisjdm]

thank you...and like I said...I like the 1st the best too but they are played out....if i get different wheels it will be the first ones polished or these wheels :

 

[young_]

You need some touch up on them, the paints chipping a little.

Speaking of stickers, I still have the ISO sticker haha
