The tokicos actually rode pretty well, it's just that the rears were a ***** to adjust. You have to take the wheel off and unmount the top of the shock to change the setting. Really sucks when you don't have a garage, which I happen to lack.

With the HKS RS I can just reach right in.

I promise you all that I will regret this :tear:tear:

 

stupid memories ... already haunting me ....

 

wow Jim, best of luck to you. One day I'll reach my senses and get a 4 door that's comfortable as a daily driver myself. I looked at the IS at the dealer, very nice. How did you like the paddle shifters on the 350?

I've been driving the Viper alot more now. Poor Z sits in the guest parking on the street all day, and in my driveway at night .

Bat™

 

The paddle shifters were nice ... but I noticed no performance difference. I think they were kind of gimmicky, but a nice little show off feature .. it made the car "seem" faster

Thanks Andy, I appreciate it. I don't know how or why I reached this point in my life .. but I am pretty sure I am there.

Rob,
I test drove the M35 last night ... while it is a damn nice car .... I am pretty sure that it will be out of my price range ... plus it is quite large ... I don't know if I want a car that large. I liked the G35 sedan ... but have to be honest ... the interior (in comparison to the Lexus IS and GS, and M35/45) is pretty lame for $36k

 

Looks like your gonna make the move to Toyota...I mean Lexus...

 

no shame here my friend

 

Ughhh...Jim I can't even see you driving that car....thats painful...

 

I can ... I can't see myself in a TL or GS. You gotta remember .. my car before this .... prepare to laugh

 

I am looking at the Grantite Mica and Blue Onyx Pearl paint ... this color looks nice .. but I can't have another red/purple car (my Old's were maroon)

 

Ug....Jim.... WHATS THAT MATTER WITH YOU!!

Just kidding bro..the IS DEFINITELY looks better from the side...

 

I'll see if I can find one with the black pearl emblems and trim and aero kit.

 

interior is amazing .. second only the the M45 I sat in last night

 

intake/exhaust

 

 

that car is sick. i could see myself driving it. if you are going to go through all the trouble to get a new car, however, at least get the 350.

 

I know ... if I do it, it will be a 350 ... insurance is the same either way

 

 

Hey guys. I wish I was able to still come around on the tuesday nights. I might be following in Jim's shoes and sell my Z. I already started to try and sell the engine parts I was going to use for my engine build. If any of you want my rods, pistons or fuel system (all brand new) let me know.

Jim, nothing wrong with the Lexus. I am done building my GS and have started working on a 95 SC400. Check out all the info you'll ever want at www.clublexus.com . Here are a few pics of my GS. Full Veilside Executive bodykit, Tein CS, HKS exhaust, 20" Iforged with fac nav and Mark Levinson sound system.





Take care and happy holidays.
