Proud new owner of a 97 Q. :)

Hey everybody, just thought i'd share about my new project. I recently got a 97 Q45. Totally stock. It has some little issues here and there but runs fine and is a perfect candidate to be modded. I'll get pics up soon. But it's nothin special yet. It's pearl white, or whatever the white color is. Has oh about 170k, and I got it for $2700. :D 
 
Oh yea, if any of you have helpful info about the car or where I can get parts from that would be much appreciated. Especially suspension stuffs. Thanks.

Oh which one were you trying to get? theres actually alot out there right now. But yea I think you should build one too. That would be AWESOME!!! lol

Yeah maintenance be the key thing @ 170k probably 2700 is a good price. I paid about 3k for my 94 not realizing it had 170k miles on it 2 years ago.

Good luck.

There was a nice write up for maintenance on a Y33 in VIP CAR or VIP STYLE, should get Dom to help me translate it.

so you bought that one on craigslist .... awesome .. it seemed pretty legit ... 

it was kinda like my q45 .. bought it in the first couple hours it was on craigslist .. 

i miss your lexus .. but i know that u will bring it up to status very very soon 

you keep the wheels? .. 

---------------------------

my q45 should be somewhat done by the end of the month ... we should kick it !!!

Yep that would be the one. Has some minor maintenence things that need to be done. But most projects do. lol. And no i didn't keep the wheels. I sold them to a guy in texas. But i'm gonna try and pick up some euroline dh or ordens in a month or so.
