Lets just start off with some history. I’ve been reading lowrider mag since I was in elementary. I didnt just look at the girls. =P Then the whole import scene I was into that.. had a B16 swap in a civic hatch before fast and the furious came out. Worked at a family auto repair business when i was 20-23ish. Then worked with a friend at his shop in Kansas City for a couple of years. Then went to NC to help at the family restaurant. Two years later.. Old buddy Josh in KS called me up and asked if I was ready to buy his LS. The price… I could not pass up. Drove my integra gsr 4dr to Kansas City left it at my friend Johns shop and picked up the LS400. Told John to send me $2000 when he got the integra sold. <\/p>\n

Drove the car back like this.

Stock 16s were flat with dry rotted tires. Chrome was peeling. After unmounting two tires and grinding the chrome and bead sealer.. I gave up. Havent worked on cars in 2 years I forgot how to use the tire machine. I laughed at my self. Time was ticking and I had to get home. Luckily John had some bent 18s that happened to fit. Lucky me.<\/p>\n

Got the timing belt done since it was 190k+ on its original timing belt. Got some 17″ Msw type 14 from Tire Rack. So I could drive to NC to visit the family. (I’ve used Tire Rack for many years highly recommend.)
