[LIST]
[*]I can only give you my experience. I owned a 1990 LS 400 for 11 years before buying the LS 430. I had no problems for the 130,000 miles. I replaced the timing belt at 120,000,whether it needed it or not. After the warranty period I only had it serviced every 30,000 miles. I did change the o & f every 7500 miles (Mobile one)myself.
[/LIST]

my 1993 has 126k on it and still runs pretty strong considering it has spark plug wires from 1992 lolol

mine has all its original parts lol it only has 103k miles

looks like its in really good condition please get rid of all the gold trim specially those fender caps

[QUOTE=ray316;465198]looks like its in really good condition please get rid of all the gold trim specially those fender caps[/QUOTE]
yeah those fender caps r definitely getting removed lol but i actually like the gold badges and the gold grill =)

[QUOTE=Andrew11;464515]those are waffles from leon harrddit i believe[/QUOTE]

From my understanding the Lock Smice Gerade's are the original design of that particular style. Leon's and Work wheels designed their wheels after that. The Gerade's have a 7 spoke, The Waffe's have a 8 spoke, and the D3S's have a 9 spoke. Similar but different. I remember seeing Lock Smice's ads in old VIP magazine. One of their ads, in particular, had the Gerade's on an NSX.

Yea you would save a little driving down to pick them up in person then to have them shipped. Plus you could actually see them in person before you buy.

had to get maintenance done... replaced the alternator and power steering pump

cool pick up. didn't know these came with stock gold exhaust aha

The powersteering pump is known to leak on these cars, due to the design it leaks directly onto the alternator LOL. Glad to see you got it replaced though! The same thing happened to me!

keep forgetting to post some interior shots... but here you guys go once again iphone photography lol

Thanks dude lol. I'm on the search for some wheels right now and trying to do slight work on my lights for the time being

You still need someone to roll the fenders? I don't know anyone in sacto, but I can find you someone in SF area I'm sure.

[QUOTE=4DGS;486751]You still need someone to roll the fenders? I don't know anyone in sacto, but I can find you someone in SF area I'm sure.[/QUOTE]
Yes I do! locally would be best.

I've got a guy that's 40 mins south of Sacramento.

I'll send you his number via PM as I don't want to plaster his number on with all the spam bullshit lately.

On the hunt for rims, but nothing serious probably until summer so here's a pic I took to hold you guys off lol

it's the simple things that add up! looks great.

How many miles is on your LS and have you done any of the maintenance yet?

go to driven authority on power inn rd and alpine if you need your fenders rolled.. just tell them tommy sent you!

I like your LS400.

[QUOTE][COLOR=#949494]How many miles is on your LS and have you done any of the maintenance yet?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
only 104k miles and yes i have. i replaced the alternator, battery and power steering fluid pump.

[QUOTE][COLOR=#949494]go to driven authority on power inn rd and alpine if you need your fenders rolled.. just tell them tommy sent you![/COLOR][/QUOTE]
thanks! ive already talked to someone from there. i wont do any fender work until i get wheels, i thought it out more and that seemed like a better idea.

[QUOTE][COLOR=#949494]I like your LS400.[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
thank you! it has a very long journey ahead of it haha slow build but sure to be a great one i hope.

next mods will be more light stuff. clear bumper lenses, red out my taillights, and probably some HID's and LED's for interior and other minor lights.

The time has come... and now... I am on the hunt for some wheels! :shrug:

Is VR Wheels reliable or good? If so I'm gonna order some 19s from them

looking to buy some wheels. preferably 18s

Found some wheels... Nothing crazy yet since i don't have much money for a lot of fender work but these WHEEL do for now hahaha. Pictures coming soon

so why not just use what you have now (stock) and SAVE and do it right the first time? makes more sense.....

[QUOTE=Bobafreak;493030]so why not just use what you have now (stock) and SAVE and do it right the first time? makes more sense.....[/QUOTE]
 Sometimes you get sick of rolling on stocks. I have it planned. Don't worry. I know what to do it's just me being impatient haha by the end of this year or beginning of next year i'll have better wheels and what not

Wheels should be here tomorrow

Wheels came in... They rub on the uca though :pat: gotta order some spacers :signdammit:

what wheels did you go with?

[QUOTE=ray316;493208]what wheels did you go with?[/QUOTE]
Work euroline dh's 18x9.5 +35 18x10 +30 i believe

they are rubbing on your knuckle, not uca. very nice wheels! a small 5mm spacer should clear it, or even a 3mm if you can find one.

[QUOTE=timmy0tool;493667]they are rubbing on your knuckle, not uca. very nice wheels! a small 5mm spacer should clear it, or even a 3mm if you can find one.[/QUOTE]

I feel dumb lol :pat: i actually fixed it with a 25mm spacer so the wheels would be a little more aggressive and im doing the same to the back.

Those specs are pretty weak you would have wanted to space them out quite a bit anyway so 25mm will look right

[QUOTE=ray316;493726]Those specs are pretty weak you would have wanted to space them out quite a bit anyway so 25mm will look right[/QUOTE]
Yeah it looks better with the spacers all around.
