Glad to hear you're going with genuine parts and are doing things the right way. VIP builds are one of those where a lot of people tend to cut corners and take the "fake it till you make it" approach.
I'm glad you're able to do things right the first time around, wish I had the facilities, tools and budget to have done shit different with mine back when I started! But I'm getting there lmao. High hopes for this car man, I'll be here throughout the process and feel free to ask any questions!
This is lit there’s another guy in Orlando who’s been building a LS octane & zipties for a few months now a collab would be crazy cool Orlando car scene is booming now love it !!
Never thought I’d see an Ls400 in Adams garage - i obsess over my 99 LS400 like you wouldn’t believe. Recently bought my ls430 and the Lexus journey is amazing - I don’t know which one I want to drive everyday I hit the driveway!
Just found you since you got some space at the LZ compound! Congrats, im loving the channel! It's inspiring me to give my 98' ls400 some much-needed love
I used to move Escort products back in the day, most recent one I sold in that position was the Passport 9500ix. IIRC that one was the first to have integrated traffic camera locations into it. Escort is probably my favorite radar detector company, but full disclosure I have stopped using radar detectors for the past ten years. I feel like they were a crutch I relied on and quite frankly unnecessary in my case. Haven't caught a ticket since before ditching them.

If you heat it too much you will change the properties of the metal and then will have to go through the hardening and tempering process again to the specs required.
If you start to roll the fenders, you will get dents on the points where the plastic nuts are which those black strips are mounted to. I'm curious how you tackle that. Not to happy with how it went at my LS lol
If you check out Vinny from the hoonigan group he has a bagged ls460 and he was dealing with the same issue but instead he cut a hole in the strut tower instead of re sizing and fabricating everything. You should check out the video
Not only are you doing something super sick with that car, but you got some baller songs going on while doing it😂, I was digging the paramore and Dance Gavin Dance in the background
Tbh that looks a bit sketch simply because there was no reinforcement dont on the sides of the spindle, every one ive seen and the ones i got cut have been reinforced, might want to look into that
I got a ls400 I planned for it to be just a nice luxurious daily.... that didn't last long its about to get its second manual swap and is now a Mexico street hooning car
Damn didn't have done any heat treatment to it or anything. Not even notched a gap for the weld to penetrate. Cut em up and do it right. In Hoonigans drift build with the Camaro I guess, the one guy build the suspension by his own and treated the cast metal right.
Okay damn, I guess I missed some parts. Because after welding it often needs a slow as possible cool down so the metal penetrates right and is able to build the "right" metal. But after reviewing the footage this is the only step that isn't shown so I guess this is as you said done right. Didn't wanted to cause any unnecessary discussion but here we go... Anyways. Love the content, I would love to slam my mk3 golf to the floor but it's just a too nice shell 🤷🏼♂️ may need to get a clapped out mk4.
You could have Justin made a Pocket for the top of the Upper control arm instead of fucking with your suspension geometry Some people use A holesaw and leave the whole there but you can totally cap it off

Hell yea and tuck that harness before you put coilovers on
I second this, I tucked mine when I put on my coils on my ls400
Yes mainly driver side for sure but also watch out for passenger side as well
6:55 Brennan Savage playing in the background?
Even Lil Peep could be heard later on
Proper Sad Boi stuff
I LOVE LIL PEEP
WE OUTCHEA
have you not seen his gbc decals on his soarer

I always bring a few escorts on my road trips
Daaaaang, that Escort sponsorship is extremely legit.
When Adam and divine upload at the same time 😂😂😂. I love this content
If he wants to do another set, let me know. I’ll gladly sent mine out lol. Also Mike if you ever take off that stock y-pipe I want it.
YOO THAT PEEP PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND
This is the best style of video I think, has the sexy shots but also talking content and more the "group of mates working together" vibe
I love that paramore song playing in the background!!
Just found you since you got some space at the LZ compound! Congrats, im loving the channel! It's inspiring me to give my 98' ls400 some much-needed love
holy moly this is hella clean for a northern car! Lexus quality baby
From peep to Paramore in one video that’s a tempo change 😂😂
So surprised u got that ls here in CT. Thats a gem man.
Stoked to see the wheels eventually
Can’t wait to see where this project goes definitely makes me want a ls400 more and more
10:13 did that just strike in the same spot 5 times?
Holy shit I didn’t even notice that
Lightning pulsates, it's just one strike.

I'm so excited. Damn man.. when Adam be in the vlogs.. damn man. I ain't gay but damn 😭😂
Serial 9 are the real OG's.
Loving the Lil Peep and Nothing Nowhere playing in the back ground. Also love this build.
That ls is SUPER clean!!!
almost 100 K subs . Let's go Mike
Only Adam would say “oh is that a snap on wrench I didn’t know I had that”
If you put gap on it before you weld it. Most of the time cast you normally preheat the metal before you weld on it.
I'm actually more hyped for this car than Adam's S15. lol :)
Why not get another subframe to have all the work done on?
fuck yeah, can't wait to see this come together!
Hearing save that shit in the background makes me like you waaay more then I already did. 🤟🏻
Team LZMfg..... *Everyones gotta rock crooked glasses in their vlog! 😂😎🤓 We love it...!
Adam crooked 👓 ☑️
Mike crooked 👓☑️
Collete crooked 👓 ❎ Not yet🌹
Shout out to Adam for getting you off your ass, keep putting your content out , loving your edits. Keep doing vlogs.
DEADASS? Yes!
Those radars don't work in Australia. You guys are pretty lucky with that option.
Black ops 1 zombies was literally my childhood
If you heat it too much you will change the properties of the metal and then will have to go through the hardening and tempering process again to the specs required.
That old Paramore in the background...
“lightning never hits the same place twice”
video: Actually, only 6 times.
paramore the mood today.!

cutting the strut tower is a shortcut proper way is to shorten the spindles or get aftermarket FUCAS
Curious and excuse my ignorance, but why not bag the lexus for the true vip look?
Not only are you doing something super sick with that car, but you got some baller songs going on while doing it😂, I was digging the paramore and Dance Gavin Dance in the background
I wanna get an ls400 so bad but they look hella hard to stance
Dance gavin dance while working on cars is a vibe
Ay do the JBrady Intake mod it makes the car way better
really surprised the bevel wasn't deeper than that... leaving a lot of strength on the table there.
Right on man looking good. I also just moved to Florida and trailed my 96 LS400 1300 miles lol. You know any good paint guys near Orlando?
Definitely appreciate the peep playin in the background.
adam knows about these celsior/ls chassis for now
Wow! Sick 🌩 video!

Never seen hands so clean no gloves dope video

In Hoonigans drift build with the Camaro I guess, the one guy build the suspension by his own and treated the cast metal right.
Did you even watch the video lol, we did all of that.

Looks so funky with the stock struts lmao
