The GS is frequently overlooked as a performance car, probably because of the badge and fact it is a saloon but with the excellent range of engines on offer it is a really good candidate for a car tuning project.
Due to it’s size and equipment load there is a lot of weight in the GS which can hold it back. If you do some serious weight reduction you will literally transform the standard car into something quite nippy and agile. Then if you start modding it you can end up with something very special indeed.
You can do a lot worse than choose the Lexus LS for a tuning project, as it can make quite an effective track day car given the right modifications despite it’s large size. Weight reduction should obviously be a priority if you want to take the car to the maximum.
Uprating your LS’s cornering and general handling is often a big priority
The Lexus IS is a great project car if you want a track day car, providing you are willing to put in the workshop hours to achieve this. As they are rear wheel drive they also make great drift cars. Our members have some interesting IS projects under way in our forums including engine swaps and the usual array of tuning modifications. The IS has been aimed at the executive market and is very comfortable to drive with lots of gadgets installed. However the chassis is superb and is just crying out for a few simple mods.
