New Guy here
well let me give you the chain of events.
started drifting in an 86 corolla gts.
moved on to a 240sx
now have also added a 94 ls400 to my collection
yes i drift the ls. ok are you done freaking out? moving on.
so far its just sitting on the stiffest lowest springs evar!!!
coilovers next
really im starting with full restoration to start because several body pieces were missing, it was a wiring nightmare and the leather has cuts and sun damage. oh yea the hood has some clear coat peeling off.
all but one little trim piece have been found and replaced thank god for u-pull it and a roomate that works at the dealership. the wiring fun is all fixed up and my buddy who works at the leather spot is re-wrapping the seats soon.
so back to super clean and nice.
next comes r154 tranny, until i destroy the 1uz and then comes 2jz block, 1jz head, single turbo style.
here's a few pictures of how it sits now. how am i doin for 20 years old?
heres my 240 just cuz. its built to hell and back :giggity:

also forgot to mention. my goal is to not only have that super wheel fitment good feeling but have a seriously luxurious feel to the car. honestly im kind of burnt on strapping into a race seat with a harness and rattling down the road in a load ass uncomfortable car. as far as rims. im leaning towards the work euroline dh but i havent had the much time to think about it. still have to measure up to figure out what size and offset im looking for. good thing i have a fender roller.

I hate those wheels on sc430's, but they look really good on larger cars! Welcome...oh and VIP cars are not a luxury cushy ride either...you just can't be if you're really that low...

Dude, I lurk because I love VIP syle cars, but my accord coupe (at least the route I went for it) doesn't really apply to the style, and neither do my s2000 or prelude so I dont have much to contribute.
But I had to post up and give you your props beacuse i love old skool LS400's and your shit looks freakin awesome on the SC HTC wheels.
Quick question... when you say wiring night mare what are you refering to? the actual in car harness or for your stereo?
I ask beacuse its always something I wondered with older japanese cars.... the wiring are starting to get deteriorated...
ITs an arm and a leg for a new harness from dealers... pulling it from a junk car is likely to be equally as hold and shitty... so what are you doing for your wiring if you're refering to the actual OEM in car harnesses? re-doing them yourself?
If so post pics of your project as you go! thats a big job!
