That looks really nice, not too keen on the TTE wheel centre caps, but otherwise it looks great! The mk1 GS in sport guise is really starting to grow on me, makes me wonder even more why they decided to design the mk2 GS in house.........

Tidy. :)

I'll second clear side repeaters, this was the first thing I did to mine and it looks so much better. Here are some details (posts 21 and 22 in particular):

As for tyres, the last two sets I've had are Falken, FK-451, which I had for about three years, and this year I fitted the FK-452.

I'll really miss my Series I GS 300 Sport :( , she has been a great car for over four years, but I'm sure the Series II GS 430 Sport will make me feel better in time. :)

..Thanks again for your comments guys, I still look at it when walking back to it in a car park and think its a :tsktsk: handsome motor!

I have to agree about the TTE centre caps, I do prefer the originals but at the time the budget was running low and Florian at Toyota Motorsport GmbH wanted about £180 for them, I got the TTE ones for about £70 but think i'll go for the Lexus ones when I have some spare notes. Also want to get the side repeaters which I can get from anywhere but just not got round to it.

Also looked at the HID headlamps which I know have been discussed in a few forums so they're another thing on the list.

I suppose the only other thing that has been floating around in my head is getting some more power out of it and this is where my knowledge ends. Has anyone had any expierience in Turboing or Supercharging one of these, I know its a supra engine so should be pretty straight forward (for the professionals), is it worth looking at a complete engine swap or just working on whats in it (mileage is about 72k). Anyone recommend someone to talk to?

oh, and as far as tyres go that someone mentioned, the Dunlop SP9000 seem pretty damn good.. nice tread, hardly seen any wear in them and the grip is pretty tremendous in the wet and dry and I certainly dont hang around :winky:
