Damn, you been here for 2 days and already got 20 posts?? Your gonna take over in like 4 hours..

I try.....

I'm all over the place bro... I thought you knew.... :lol:8)

Hello and welcome.. To answer some of your questions, there have been no major problems with any GS even it's first production (98)... The only problem that I know about is that the headlights get condensation in them.. I already had mine changed twice since I bought my car new in the beginning of the summer.. As far as changes to the car over the last 5 years, nothing major. A few things that if you bought a 98-00 GS you can make it look like a "03" and knowone will beable to tell the difference.. Hope this helps and goodluck with your upcoming purchase..

Gotcha, Thanks bro.... Have a Safe and Happy NewYear.... :D:D

COOL.... :D

That about sums it up I think.. I think I'll have no problem putting out almost 500 at the rear wheels for a while till a full blown race tranny gets installed.... Hey, have you had a chance to run by the Dyno place yet????

Thanks.....

SC-IS and the rest of the bunch over here, I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.... Takecare Guys and Gals... :D:):D

Yeah right. Well atleast I get a new Tranny out of it.... Hey Guys, dinner is almost ready.. I hope you all have a Happy and safe Christmas...

And the last one I have for you guys....

Notice how the orange light is son dim.....

Here is another...

Really??? I've been looking for a place where I can dyno my car and no one has ever mentioned "some place in Milford" before... Even guys who race cars at the Track.... That's sweet... Maybe you'll be seeing me before the Turbo goes in, just so I can see the before and after numbers.. Actually, since the place is so close I might even take my Intake and Exhaust off and dyno it stock. Then dyno it with just the Intake, then the exhaust to see what the real output they really give.. But first I have to get my new tranny, on my way down to the city I hit a massive bump and it messed with my Tranny Solienoid. Now my E-Shift doesn't work and sometimes it won't shift into 5th gear.. Oh another thing, now there's two lights lit up for the gear selection in the dash... Here is a picture...

Stage 4 is going for almost 12 grand including on-site install at SRT.. After the turbo's in I'll take a ride out to Milford to see you and show it off alittle... :D

Ben, how much was the turbo, and where was it purchased?? I'm about to bring my GS to SRT and get their stage 4 turbo, but the price is reaaly steep... But I'll be looking at almost 500hp at the rear wheels....

Oh wait, hold up.... I see how you got those numbers.... I didn't read your whole sig before... So you have the SRT intake with race ECU and the F-Max turbo....... I gotcha now.... Please excuse me.... :roll:

How can that be??? You say there's 370hp at the rear wheels right now and you only got +150hp from the kit.... What were the dyno numbers for you before you put the turbo in?? Did you even dyno it?? Becuase a bone stock GS3 makes about 170 at the rear wheels.... Also do you have any pics of the install??? I'm about the put in a Stage 3 SRT Turbo in and I'm going to be pushing about 370hp at the rear wheels too... But if you do the math you got about 200 at the wheels and somewhere around 275 to 300 at the crank from your F-Max Turbo...

As for the pics I'll post some later in the GS forum...

For which intakes?? I actually just got off the phone with the head R&D guy at Weapon-R and he's almost finished with the Piggy-back ECU that has been in the works for the last year.. The numbers he was telling me seem like very decent gains.. The price is steep I think he's going to let them go for around $650. without Intake but I'm sure he'd work with you on the price if you did a combo.. Or if a few of the members here want I could setup a group-buy I'm sure that'll take off a few more bucks too depending on how many people wanted in..... Well anyway, getting back to your question... The WR intake runs about $200. and with the CAB it'll be under $400... As for the SRT intake w/ piggy-back ECU they want somewheres around $600. The Injen will be about $250...... Which one would you prefer?? Let me know and I'll tell you who to talk to when you call so you get the right person who can work down the prices for you....

I forgot one more.... http://www.rodmillenstore.com/sc_400/price.htm

First off when putting in a Intake it is essential to upgrade the ECU so you can have the right air/fuel mix.... But lucky us in the States we don't have much of a selection.. Now you can go that route, I think you were talking about a SRT intake with "race" ECU... IMO way too expensive for such a minimal gain... And trust me your not getting +20hp at the rear wheels with that... Then you can go the way I went, I have a Weapon-R intake/CAB with a Apexi S-AFC.. Or Injen makes a decent Intake too... As for the gains you'll only really see them mid to high rpms... Here are some pics of my Intake with custom CAB... At night there's 2 red neons that light the box up.. It's pretty cool.... If you want to see pics of it I have no problem posting them up...

Well, First off the the only sites that you'd be able to order from are the Japanese sites and I'm not sure if you'd be able to navigate through them and also if you do you'll be paying retail for everything... And for the US sites they are only good for just looking at to see what you want. Just look around and tell me what you like and I'll see what I can do for you....

Here are just a few web-sites I came up with... Whatever you do don't order from these people, I just them as a reference.... http://shop.store.yahoo.com/lexusparts/gsjz.html http://www.beverly-auto.co.jp/index.html http://www.i-m-racing.com/lexgs.html http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/ http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/ http://www.kyh.co.jp/frameset1.html http://www.gtautosports.com/ Those are a few that i could find.....ENJOY.....

I also live in CT. Where are you from?
