i was reading the generations of LS on www.lexls.com ( if u guys havent checked it out check it its freaking awesome!!!) and it seems as the gens went on the top speed decreased down from 149 - 130.... now being a speed loving teen... if i ever jump generations with LS... say a gen 3 sometime between now and my late speed loving days i want an explantion for a 19 mph decrease from top speed... does anyone know why and how they did it? and is it possible to change... i've hit 135 mph... safely i assure u... LOC doesnt condone crazy driving... it no traffic on a empty highway straight... and any speed under 120 isnt exciting... anyone help settle discomfort... why for decrease in top speed...

wow what the heck did i just write ahhaha

along with 90LS japanese cars made int he usa tend to be on the lower average of japanese quaility... even if it still better then domesitcs... but if japan doesnt reevaulate japanese cars made in america domestics will make a comeback soon... but on topic im thinking of doing something on the same lines... when my 93 dies or becomes a pain in the wallet to fix... i would like to just do a generation jump... but still wondering what what generation to jump to and what series to buy in.... any one with ideas?

wondering about this too trying to bring back interest

thanks guys i need to now start getting money #$@#ing broke

they sell the cleabumpers with lights for 40 do you guys think thats a good deal?

hey guys,

do u guys know if this place is a good site? i got it from lexls.com, but i also wanted to make sure before i try and purchase sometime in the future

welcome to LOC, i dont think there is much of a problem with it, becuase of the car's age, but if it personally bothers u, u are proablly in the best place to find advice !!! WELCOME!!

on this topic... kinda.... does anyone know where to get a celsoir badge for cheap? ebay doesnt have it and this one website that has it has it for 500 bucks... a little much i think for a badge

ahh yes i forgot about that i go here too much i just skip over that top part haha thanks VMF

any place to get a quaility body kit for LS 400?

im looking for either poly urithan or fiberglass

does anyone know the pros and cons of both of them?

also project L is something that im thinking of starting soon, to make my car showcase worthy...

and does anyone currently own a turbo in their LS? i would like to see the after affects of it and the difference on the wear and tear of the car with and with out turbo

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry to hear that your car has the same problem as mine. I wonder - did your car ever have a 'bad gas' problem. [the problem - with my car - was caused by the previous owner leaving the car parked half the year - EVERY YEAR - while she went 'south' to help her old bones - so I've been told] If I find out what the problem is - believe me - you'll hear about here!! So stay tuned!!

i never had bad gas my car is daily driven, it racks up at least 10 miles a day, i fill it will 92 costco gas, but maybe its the wieght of the car thats doing it and/or maybe the tires too, i replaced mine a while back still pretty recent, maybe curt has no excess wieght in trunk including no spare... ahh well haha about going pass 160 km/h what u could do is one night turn off all interior lights and then just gas it hard, after u feel like u are going too fast turn them back on see what u are going at, then every chance u get try and get faster then u felt the night before, i've been doing that, it helps me calm down sometimes... i took my car to 135mph before... its a bit scary... hitting 100mph is a breeze now

*BLEEP* its the same with my car... i still dont know what the problem is... i have changed all the stuff obergc has too jsut not recently... i kinda just gave up on the speed now ....

hey im getting the same kit from that website too... just in case u guys want to do a DIY kind of thing... theres a member here that is an author of the most informative website for LS400 gen 1... www.Lexls.com ... he has tutorials, with pictures showing step by step of the install i would recommend talking to him if u have questions he is a great guy, and 92LEX is another guy thats good for advice... but saying alpine is not comparable to namaicha-wats... psh psh... haha jk jk jk...

-joe

yea for sure if u want to drop a lil more get the alpine pulse-touch MMS (multi. media system) it gives u the feeling of touching buttons on the touch screen, the best of the best.

-joe

so would this be good enough RCA plugs?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3035040621

and for the amp kit?? any brand i should buy or not to buy?

cousin who works for alpine said the type-R's need at least 0.7 cu. ft

i will find out if they are right up to specs... where should i got to buy quaility RCAs? good guys? audio express? my friend thinks spending 200 for everything (amp kit, wiring, install kit, etc.) is a rip off, but im calculating the prices and around 200 should be it right?

ok thanks guys im pretty sure im set....

amp kit from walmart.... install kit from sfxaudio.com... and if they have the wire harness at walmart then that at walmart too.... audio express said that the box they have for 2 10s are the right specs so im getting it there... sub wires... i need to know where to buy that... RCA's can i get those at walmart too? or do i have to go somewhere else... and i'll get poyifil online... hmm this is goign to cost a lot haha dammit its going to cost about a 1k....

sorry to be dumb but why would u do that?

and for putting in the wires i would have to put them under the sides carpet area or something any help with that

haha i dont have any pictures of them on this computer.. i recently got a new hdd, but think GS with turbo, veilside bodykit, in black, and oem 18s in gun metal finish

argh double posted i dont know why hahaha

LexLs im going to buy my install kit from the website u recommended, should i buy the install and wiring harness and the female harness?

power wire for amp, ground wire for amp, remote turn on wire for amp,

that stuff comes in an amp kit right?

and im getting a sealed box from audio express near howe and arden, its $80 for 2 10s, and yes i would be placing the sub box to the floor, for the wiring through the car i think im going to use LexLs tutorial to remove the back seats and use the the holes that are there, is that a good way to wire them through?

haha JL i love JL haha....

im actually getting a discount on my stuff cus my cousin lives down in LA and works for alpine... so im paying $300 for a $500 amp...

and yea for the install... i know i need the install for the deck but i dont know what else i need...

walmart?? hmm never thought of that.... also 12 gauge for subs?? reasons?
