No new wheels yet. I'm still a noob to this offset shit. And money needs to put into all things suspension before fancy wheels

[Chuckdee]

So what wheels did you get this time? Glad to see you've stuck with the car.

So the car has been chillin. Daily beater. I drive the dog shit out of her and she just takes the abuse all day. It's a real love, **** relationship with this car.

I was visiting family two hours away the other day, and on the way back I kept feeling it getting wonky in the rear. Got it up on the lift at work and saw the rear traction bar thingamabob/fallopian tube bushing is FUBAR. Soooo I did what anybody else in my situation would do. Light up a cigarette, laugh and throw the wheel back on.

Called up SerialNine. Keep an eye out for it, doing it big. New adjustable rear arms, upper control arms and roll center adjusters may be in the pipe. Also want to finally get some real wheels. The z wheels while awesome, were beat when I got them and they are still beat now lol. Curb rashed like you wouldn't believe. No cracks though thank jebus.

Yea been to Harry's in pennsburg. Mad es300 sitting around. The only LS400 they have are just as bad as mine or gutted. Every single 95+ has the calipers cut off hahaha. Fuckers.

Good luck on the yard finds. I've seen a couple of older ES300's in Harry's U-Pull-it in Pennsburg (I live 5 minutes from there), but for the big body stuff, your best bet is car-part.com or ebay.

+1000 on the Manual swap

[aeok18109]

She's a mobile toolbox/storage unit. She's got random shit all over her. The interior is completely destroyed. Seat belts broken or missing altogether. Been stalking the pull a parts but can't find anything. Oh well. Stank keeps on stankin

[SnazzyQ]

Oh damn awesome to see the stank booty is till stanking to this day.

[aeok18109]

Nah. I was going through a really rough patch in my life this summer. Things are finally starting to get better. She's never faltered me this entire time. I've grown quite attached to the old shitbox. She's going to stay with me a long long time. Plans for now are get her PA legal (been rocking my GA plate for months LOLOL).

In time I want to get her lighting upgraded. It's horrid at best. Want the tint ripped off and done right. And then start saving for the manual swap.

[xavierb]

Love the build... Are youstill thinking of selling it???

[aeok18109]

Lexus charged me $3.41 per fucking screw for the rotors. Should be there in a few days. -_- they stop great but they have a bit of rolling runout without the screws.

Blowing the dust off this thread. Brakes been fubar for a really long time. Decided to finally do something about it. $400 later and I sourced some pads, rotors, and calipers from a 95 LS400. She stops like a fuggin BOSS now. I was really worried about clearing the calipers with my wheels. Twat hair of clearance but it does clear. Have to get some pictures once I get around to washing the old whore. Next mod has to be exhaust. Tired of having a v8 and it being as loud as a prius at full throttle lol.

[aeok18109]

have not done anything in a long while with car. bought some tires...an oil change...about it. since the news of impending divorce ive lost the will to continue with the car. i want to get rid of her and go back to Subaru. ive had fun with this platform and its not common up here in PA. with winter coming i cant justify keeping her. i want to sell her ass off or trade her straight up for a turbo forester. hell may even go for a non turbo as long as its stick and is decently maintained with proof.

2ls brakes are awesome. 1ls brakes suck a bag of rhino dicks
