prodaytrader Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 My friend has 98 GS 400. He has had it a few years and has raved about it all the years he has owned it. He has told me that if I buy a GS 400, I must purchase the 99 or 98 model since it was the only years that had the tiptronic shifting on the steering wheel. I have been looking at the 99 models with around 75k miles or so and they seem to be in my price range. I am about to pull the trigger on one in the next month or two. My buddy says I have to make a few mods though and so that brings me to this question. If you had 5k to put into the car, what would you do? My buddy has pumped a lot of cash into suspention and stiffening his car. He has also put in a torque converter and a direct air intake. I was thinking about doing the suspention and maybe an ECU upgrade. So while I poke around on the forums, maybe a few of you could drop some suggestions for me on what I could do to make the car a dream keeping in mind my 5k budget.
