Comfort comes home-Project Lexus GSX

You should have just bought a stock shell and swapped the important drivetrain parts.

And scrap my car? Why would I do that? By the time I spent all the time and money to make some crappy 180k shell as nice as my car, I'd have spent 3x as much and wasted a good car. The shell game if for those looking to have a 11-second car for $150, like Hughes. :nod:

No, not scrap it, sell it as is, minus the go fast parts. It doesn't matter anyway cause you're already doing it. take some more pics!

Have you seen his car? You cant find shells like that...

LOL I bought my car in running order and drove it nearly as-is for almost a year!

I'm not sure about a 11-sec car for $150, but I think I can make a 12-sec car for $100!

Werd, its definitely one of the nicest shells around.

To make a 12-second AWD 1G all you need is some race gas and removing some parts. Drop the entire exhaust off the car at the track, hack the MAS just a litle bit and unplug the vacuum hose to the wastegate, then run 12s if the clutch has anything left.

11s aren't too bad, EVO3

That's also assuming 150 psi in most of the cylinders and a fairly recent tune-up. That's a lot to ask in some cases.

That's alot of sound-deadening! That's awesome. You're going to have a pretty sweet and comfy DSM. A 2 door, hatchback, luxury car with a roll cage and 3.5" exhaust. Nice!
