Hi Guys, new member here from melbourne, I just got myself an LS400 and am in love, it is so awesome!,
but first up, let me introduce my other car, and then the lexus, it'll flow better that way!
my other car is an R31 skyline, ti, with an RB25det neo, and built automatic, its had a few sets of wheels, my favs were
the BBS's
they looked awesome, but the car was soooo hard to drive, so I decided to go a bit more ground clearance and went for some 17's
but I just sold those wheels as well, got the car tuned and it made 273 rwkw, but overheated the auto, so I bought a manualised 3 speed jatco, with transbrake and 3800 convertor, the wheels we're sold to aid that purchase, and to also make way for some bigger rubber so I can actually feel the amount of power it makes, cause ATM its just wheelspin.
heres a dyno vid, purely for the sound!
but all of that is coming to a grinding halt because of...........
the new mate daily, LS 400.
Reason why I wanted one is so when I see clients it looks like I will offer them a service, and not stab them or ask if I can score (my old civic was a bit seedy in this way)
so these are the most bang for buck luxo barge around, and it looks respectable,
I didn't want to spend a fortune, as the business needs the money more than the car, so I wanted to go as cheap as possible.
this thing came up on e bay, no reserve, and was slowly creeping up during the week, anything under 2k for these is a steal and I would buy regardless, (has a few issues, but nothing that can't be easily sorted)
its a little rough, but whatevs, looks a million times better than old mate civic, runs awesome, has an exhaust, has rego till august, bloke gave me some 20's with it as well,
needs a few little things adressed, power steering is pretty heavy, and the climate control worked intimitantly, but a few days work and it'll be bangin
must have been some lebo blokes project, or exhibits old car, as it has 4 screens in it, and some mega double din headunit, old mate even has the leads for a PS2 in it still hahah
chilin next to oldest mate, I fixed a few common probs with the power steering, better but not 1 finger steering like it should be
