oklahoma lexus - vip beater project

[Awful Hero]

Looking good!
Definitely go Track style with it, loose the chrome trim, go body color with it, its so uncommon for LS chassis its almost the obvious "Go To" at this point.
Race wheels, maybe aero, look for a wangan rear deck lid spoiler, something similar to popular Origin Lab lip spoilers seen on lots of S13/S14 drift cars.
Even better, i would love to see someone manual trans swap an LS and drift it.

yeah but honestly with the stock power/torque im thinking i could just weld the diff and get a hand brake and still kill it on the track being standard.
but yeah ive heard the ka trans bolts up if you get some custom mounts and stuff.
im really debating getting aero and doing a short gt wing and diffusers etc cus the stock body is so nice on these cars.
also i didnt want to go all out and ditch the chrome trim quite yet..gold might be a nice touch tho

[Nick475]

yeah i mean as lomg as you can select the gear auto really wouldnt be all that bad. i bet its a great way to learn. the only thing i could think of as a problem is if you spin out you probably fuck the tranny. and since there is no clutch, ripping e brake might now be a good technique

[240benzo]

fuuuuuuu..didnt even think about that...i NEED handbrake rips and clutch kicks..
these old LS's are way to slow and heavy to just power over and throw the weight around...
would still be fun to weld an extra diff and see what she can do! haha

[MarkoE500]

damn that thing looks great

[240benzo]

thank you sir! back on stocks for now until i decide if im guna sell/trade for 18s
getting tires for these is a pain since they are only 10" wide

[Stupid Kid]

they arent that heavy, like 3700 pounds right?

I've seen people drift them with the stock auto and uzi, works fine. Helps alot if you rip all the luxury shit out and cut out weight of course

mine doesnt really have any "luxury" stuff persay..just the power seats maybe haha
but once i get it running correctly im sure i could slide it around a bit more
seems to do well on a skidpad but hard to say on a course...

in other news..being the wheelwhore i am i traded my rays and got a staggered set of SL14 plus cash ^_^
