    Sold my mx5 for a more sensible daily and went on the hunt for v8 powered swankiness! Bought an LS400 from down south and brought her back.

    Had to try the wheels off my rx7 on it :-)

    front would work with different tyres but rears too big haha

    After trying wheels it really needed lows :-) so these arrived

    then got some 18s from a mate

    together made it look pretty damn cool

    Got a few little via touches for inside and put a steering wheel from my other rx7 on it

    I have a body kit I'm trying to get picked up and build an exhaust for it but that's where I am with it just now, need to decide if I keep it as my daily though, might sell or store it in the future as I have acquired another vehicle as well now

    looks mega dude.
    That epic duster shifter is the kind of thing I spent ages unsuccessfully looking for before I did the manual swap to skidder on mine.

    looks great bud, I love these cars.

    Sick car . Love these. Did you change it from air bags to coilovers? Or did it not have air ride?

    didn't have air, was standard McPherson struts, goes well on the coilovers but I could do with rolling my arches to get it to sit where id like

    Mines sound, bar not having much length in gear ratio for motorway trips to and from skid days (est 120mph flat out haha) and I seem to eat through pas racks, its mega.
    Due for some more weight cuts soon, poly windows, gut the doors etc.

    Timmy, love this mate, you got me lookin to invest in yet another to use as pimp daily again like this.
