  1. as for the damaged shifter t-bar and wheel .. is a guy in south Australia re does the wheels. but maybe any good motor trimmer could do them. can get heaps shifter knobs. but the wood grain may not match cars interior as for rust.. least for now .. put some acid on it to eat the rust/convert it. then later cut it out with dremal . .tack weld new bit of metal. grind flat. spray.
  2. hmm .. i dont know much differences between 2000 to 2003 .. well no, i do not know differences between 2000-02 .. but .. mid 02 and 03 totally different car.. i own a early 02... and ive done ton of interior ..and media stuff.. but if i had got a 04 the grom could of done all the touch screen android for me. options i know of and i dont know much air suspension rear shades on rear door and little quarter windows (not curtains) mark lenovision stereo (i do not have this yet mine sounds amazing) cant imagine how good that one sounds. rear vanity mirrors on ceiling and also came with dvd screens.. (im assuming you either got the mirrors on the flip down things on ceiling or you got the dvd screen not both. -- 2003 or 2004 got radar cruise control (slows down behind a car) mid 2002 car got LED taillights .. i had to put crappy ones in that are just same as ones took out but got rid of the yellowish reverse lens. is some aftermarket LED taillights for 2002 and earlier models but not good stories about ballasts. The factory late 02 onward LED taillights look great. if i had to do all over again i'd get 2004 model kept the shape but the headlights and grille got sexier in the UCF31.... UCF30 had sharper corners grille and rounder uglier lights (my model) .. worst part of my car is the front.. its gross.. i often wonder if could swap the grille and lights.. im sure i coudlnt and not enough wreckers in australia for lexus parts. as for no android.. and touch on nav screen. i cast to my screen all the time and grom handles the sound input. im planning on putting in a mimics touch screen hack to allow me to use my nav screen .. to control my phone screen i didnt help much with info. sorry..
  3. hi, i removed rear mufflers. sounds great. was going to remove third cat.. put a x pipe.. but didnt get back to doing that. if you are on the throttle its nice, when coasting still silent. sure it would still pass test with only two cats.. not three. would it even get tested.. just for pink slip? maybe for blue slip.. i use to do timing belts myself on all my toyota's but next time i am just going to pay someone to do water pump / timing belt for me. but wont be cheap.. you could order the "full" kit on ebay save some money. i had a ls400 blue colour that year.
  4. you want stock manifolds or headers.. as i pasted above last night and new link. today. rush imposts make ls400 headers.. https://yellowpages.cybo.com/AU-biz/rush-imports
  5. http://au.urlm.com/www.rushimports.com.au make ls400 header https://yellowpages.cybo.com/AU-biz/rush-imports "There are faster Lexus out there, than the LS430, but there aren't any faster living rooms"
