Re: Comfort comes home-Project Lexus GSX

Well, a few updates.

-The new muffler didn't quiet it down as much as I thought, but just enough to realize I have a hole in the downpipe flex section. Time for a new one of those.

-Added the Evo3 5th gear, apparently one of the last available in the country, thanks Tim Zimmer. This might be the best mod I've ever done, 3000 rpm at 75 mph on the way to C&C this morning. No more drone.

-Noticed an annoying hum, time to replace one of the rear wheel bearings.

-Bought a super nice aluminum 4" CAI, but doesn't fit with my short route piping, this will be up for sale shortly. In it's place I was able to use the carbon fiber CAI from my old M3, fits perfect, problem solved.

And finally a few pics with the powder coated wheels and finished exhaust.
