A little bit about me and my LS.

Hello everyone!  My name is Mark, however, I am mostly known as  "Mizzark" by a large majority of my friends.  I have been a member on  this forum for a couple  months, but I have yet to properly introduce  myself and my build.  Although having things served to me on a silver  platter would be great, I will start by saying that everything  materialistic that I have owned, including anything related to cars  since the age of 16 has been bought with my own hard earned money, so although I don't have the best things on my car, I will say that I appreciate everything I am able to buy and do to/for it.   Prior to owning  my recently acquired LS, I have owned quite a few cars   already, which include 3 1988 Mitsubishi Starions, 2 Nissan 240sx's  (s13 hatch's) which both  had an SR swap  and a ton of mods, a 94  Pathfinder AWD, a 06 Nissan  Frontier LE crew  cab, a 2003 Kawasaki  Ninja ZX6R(which I regret ever selling), and now I only own my lifted  2007 Nissan Titan crew cab and this Lexus I am writing this thread  about.  A couple of months  ago, I was finally able to purchase my very  own 95 LS400 from a young  lady whom didn't feel as though the car was  suitable for her.  I was able to agree upon a purchase price and took  the  car home the next day.  The day after I brought the car home, I  purchased a set of Megan Street  LP's and a set of wheels from a friend  that had spare rims laying  around.  With a wedding coming up in April  of next year, I'm on a fairly tight  budget as to what I can spend on  certain things, meaning this build may take a  while to complete, but I will keep this thread updated as things come along.  Here  are some photo's starting from day one for  your viewing pleasure.  I  know there may be things about my car that we  may not agree upon, but  nonetheless, thank you all for taking the time to view my thread,  and  please be polite.  <3

First off, here's a mod list:
1995 Lexus LS400 two tone black and gray with black interior
Megan Street LP coilovers
20x9.5 MRR HR3 rims all around wrapped in 225/35/20 tires.  (Had a staggered set of HR3's but I liked the look of 9.5's all around much better so I bought a new pair of  9.5's for the front)
Junction Produce neck pillows
6k 55watt DDM Tuning HID headlights
DDM LED's on all interior lights and majority of exterior lights excluding turn signals.
Insurance Group LED tail lights and clear bumper lights
Off brand Japanese window curtains (Getting some Junction Produce ones when some money frees up.)
Big crystal shift knob
Pioneer AVIC D3 and 2 12" Sony Xplod subs and Performance Teknique 1800 watt amp.
Some other mods but I'll update as soon as I can remember.


Day one!

Picture of the car the two nights later after a day of wrenching with Megan coilovers and a set of used BBS LM replica's which are the rims I got from a friend:

A week later after installing a new staggered set (20x8.5 and 20x9.5) of MRR HR3's and new tires:

All washed and getting ready to be waxed after I put on my Insurance Group LED tail lights:

A large majority of these pictures are taken with my HTC Evo, so please excuse the quality.  I will update with more info and pics as I upload them onto my computer.

Oh, and here's a rolling shot in the 1st street tunnel in DTLA taken by one of my best friends Yogi:

that tunnel shot looks badass

damn, son!  Money is tight, but you're spending it in the right places!

:biggthumpup:

Mizzark!!!! <3 This is my best friend! <3 This build was the reason i stepped out of the subie game and got myself a ls400! Big things for this big girl! New shoot coming soon!

SO YOU are the one who Yogi keeps confessing his love for on facebook hahaha.

Nice car buddy!

Looking good bro, sickk tunnel pic :biggthumpup:

How are you liking your Megans? Clean car!

Looks good. Great start...dont forget to save some money for maintence stuff, i.e. bushings, transflush and so forth.

What up Mizzark!!! Was that tunnel pic taken wit the EVO too? That's odd... my HTC cam is a POS, lol... Nice LS man, keep the pics coming!!

Thanks!!

[QUOTE=Race Bannon;397533]How are you liking your Megans? Clean car![/QUOTE]

Megans ride very well.  I like them a whole lot!  don't hesitate if you're deciding whether to purchase them or not.

Thanks for the compliment!

[QUOTE=jason;397555]Looks good. Great start...dont forget to save some money for maintence stuff, i.e. bushings, transflush and so forth.[/QUOTE]

Thanks bud!  I had the car checked when I purchased it and the only thing the mechanic suggested was the tranny flush, and I had my high pressure p/s hose replaced.  I actually just dropped off the car today to the mechanic because of a bad inner tie rod and I'm having all motor mounts replaced.  They were suuuuuuper bad.  Trans mount was completely cracked and the others were bad.  My next repair in a month or so will be all the bushings.  Those needs some love too.

Thanks, Ojay!  Yea, it's looking like Ryhi's car.  lol.  Did you end up selling them?  And I miss the MRR's, but the monoblocks have been one of my fav!  If I wasn't offered to trade for these, I would have kept them for quite a long time.  Gotta chat it up with you when I see you.  I'm just discouraged to say wassup.  Lol.
