Vincent123; LS400 build

[Bracknaphobia]

Beautiful car! It's coming along quickly it seems.

What's next?

[Jorgen]

Love the old LS, nice!

[Vincent123]

My fusa came in yesterday. Thanks to sean @ jdmpalace!





Got my car fully detailed this morning
I have my 370z wheels up front coz I sent one of the front wheels back for minor touch up. There was still a bit of curb rash, but I should have it back by tomorrow or this weekend hopefully

Cough... 8mm spacers up front... cough...




You know how I feel about your ride Vincent. Keep it up buddy.

Haha will a 8mm be safe as a slip on spacer? I'm running a 5mm right now. I tried a 10mm but I couldnt even get 1 turn on the lug nut. If I go extended studs am I forced to use open ended lugs?

[Petis]

You could take off the 5mm and put on a bolt on 15mm. . . Just a thought. I'm pretty sure you could pull it off. Maybe have to add a touch (less than 1*) of camber up front.

[Vincent123]

Hmm i'm pretty sure I could fit a 10mm or 15mm up front. But i'm almost positive a bolt on 15mm wont work coz my rims are dual drill, and the oem studs will poke out and my rim wont sit flush against the hub. If anything I'll run a 45mm ichiba extended stud and throw a 10 or 15mm on there. Hopefully it'll push the rims out enough so I dont have to go extended lugs

Got an alignment today finally. Good thing I did it before I mess up my brand new tires lol
Pretty difficult getting up the rack, scraped frame the whole way up even with 2x4's. And my rear tires would spin and shoot the 2x4's out from under the car so many times. Had to sit in the trunk and have ppl push the car up onto the rack

Specs are now -2.5 camber front and -4.5 camber rear. All factory adjustments
Ppl are telling me to get toe as close to 0.00 as possible but the alignment guy said that he put it under oem specs

you know what man, i gotta tell you. ive been travelin these boards, as well as vipstylecars.com, and canibeat. and this has to be one of my all time favorite builds, and THEE all time best photos. first of all, its amazing that the photographer was able to capture those pink leaves falling while he shot your car, absolutely stunning. and this is the VIP im a fan of, simple and to the point. without going overboard with crazy camber. and you STILL manage to make everything legit, like alignment and all that custom work to prepare your important stuff under the car from being damaged from scraping.

i aint a suckup type, but man two thumbs up! i would buy ur Lex in a second if u put it for sale anytime in the future!

So I didnt like how the rear end of my car looked so empty with no tips visible. So I decided to do something about it. Ordered some quad tips, I actually ordered 2 set of quads coz I didnt know which one to go with. But I decided on these, the other set will be for sale in a little bit along with my mufflers. Gonna go straight pipe with these tips.

Gonna cut my rear bumper this weekend and get the tips tucked up flush against the rear bumper cutout opening. I'll probably have them extended about 2-3" from the rear bumper, no more than that or I cant fit in my garage


Here they are laying on the ground

[Speedbump]

Hot stuff! Sick ride.

Decided to take an exhaust vid before I go straight pipe and new tips
