Yes I made the switch! My wife said no more Evo since we are working on a family budget so I had to get something that we could both agree on. A two door car was not an option and my JDM Evo 6 definitely wasn't either. I spoke with a couple of importers about bringing over a JDM Aristo but the final figures were way over budget. I figured out that I could build my own Aristo for way less. With that said I picked up this 2000 Lexus GS300 last week from Virginia.


































There are plans for this baby so obviously everyone will be updated with it's progress .

Will be interesting to see what route you choose with this one

nice. now its clarified why u got that lexus avatar. couldnt find one in your state?

....nice. In that case I got a friend who has a set of 19" Privat wheels for sale.....$650(8 and 9.5) and a set of Tein coilovers $1000 plus stock suspension. Got pics if interested. They are both coming of a '01 Gs300. May be able to take pics on car the tomorrow at the VIP meet.

Happy to see a Lexus projects coming up.

I do not understand why your wife does not consider the EVO a family car?

I needed something that was super clean and didn't need any body work. I wanted one specifically in black and it's almost impossible to find one with no dents or scratches in NY. I searched around for a whilebut didn't find anything I was satisfied with so I went out of state.

After all the money that she saw go into EVO2ENVY there was no negotiation. I had my mind set on a JDM Evo 6 but it would have cost near $25k to bring it over and get it legalized. An Evo X would run me near $35k. I picked this GS up for $7000 and I'm sure I can make 500WHP for less than $5K.

Got yah bro.

500whp for 5gs might be stretching it, but we get the point.....more HP for less spent.

Speaking my language. Great Stuff. Love to hear of the progress .. She looks clean. What you gonna call her?
