2002 Lexus GS300 Sport Design Twin Turbo (2JZ-GTE VVT-I) – THIS IS THE ONE!!!
Black Onyx with Black perforated leather, black walnut interior trim, unique Sport Design chrome grille, Sport Design aluminum scuff plates and Sport Design inlaid logo in center console. The interior is in good condition. The exterior still draws attention, especially with the Advan RS Wheels (Bright Chrome Finish).
There are a few scratches but have been touched up. I’m an enthusiast and carefully thought through each upgrade I've done. The focus and idea behind this build was to have a reliable daily drivable car but with the option for some light track use which I never got around to. I have owned the car for 3 years and I have averaged roughly 8k each year.
The car has never left me stranded anywhere, it has operated flawlessly. I have never needed to add any oil between changes or anything along those lines.
All body panels are original with labels attached, and original glass all around. No Car fax but VIN provided:JT88D69S120163780
I average 18 MPG mixed driving. This has got to be one of the most efficient Twin Turbo engines made (Supra).
Price is $18,500 firm, Keys & Title in Hand. Located in Rockville, MD
Serious inquires only, I am willing to ship.
Below I've detailed the upgrades that were done.
I bought the car with 112k on the chassis in July 2006. It was shipped to GR Racing (South Beach) where Farley & his partner Chris built & tuned the car. 17.5 PSI boost on 93 octane pump gas. Efficiently delivering 383 RWHP on the stock twins. This setup was purposely tuned for all-around performance with enough power for light track use.
Everything works. No check engine light, VSC works, Cold AC etc…Specs below. The clip used by GR for the build included a 4 Speed transmission from a 2003 Toyota Aristo (17k at the time).
The clip currently has 46k and the chassis has 141k.
The transmission is custom built ATF accumulator and valve body kit complimented by B&M racing oil cooler.
During the Fall/Winter I run Valvoline racing vr1 20w50 and in Spring/Summer 10w30.

Tein Type SS Coilover
Tein SS Coilover also known as Super Street are the absolute best combination of control, handling, looks and performance. These Tein SS Coilover come with both heights adjustable Coilover as well as fully adjustable performance shocks. Combined, they offer the perfect balance ride quality, performance and reliability. They are the next step up from the basic damper Coilover in that they feature 16 level damping adjustments and are compatible with the EDFC system, which can be added at any time.
Tein SS spring rates are kept fairly soft with the Super Streets which makes them a good solution for a daily driver where you want much better handling and a lower stance, but don't want to compromise the ride quality.
TEIN has developed advanced technology with the SS Coilover to design the shell case and stroke to bring out the full potential of your vehicle. These features of the TEIN SS Super Street Damper kit were designed with greater performance to satisfy all your driving demands. This high performance damper can be used for weekend racing and/or daily driving. The discomfort caused by uneven roads or bumps are eliminated on daily street use. For race use, the ride height adjustable system enables you to adjust ride height and 16 levels of damping force.
Daizen Sway Bars
Daizen Sport Tuning high performance sway bar sets are designed to significantly improve performance by upgrading the tensional stiffness of the sway bars, thereby increasing their ability to effectively resist the forces that cause a car to "lean" during turns. This is accomplished by increasing the diameter of the sway bar over stock size (and/or the wall thickness with hollow bars) but not to the point that it affects overall ride quality. This ultimately provides a more stable attitude during spirited driving, and most importantly, a predictable response during unexpected emergency maneuvers. Daizen Sport Tuning's adjustable rear sway bars allow the end user to fine tune the vehicle's handling to their personal preference and/or driving style. The rear sway bar is adjustable, a feature normally found only on race-type sway bars.
Rotora 6 Piston Brake
Upgrade Includes 2-Piece Disc System Slotted & Drilled 355MM, stainless steel brake lines, and H2 ceramic brake pads.
Rotora's Slotted & Drilled: Developed With the same parameters’ as the Original equipment (OE) Specifications in both quality and finish, Rotora’s Direct replacement brake disc are assured to meet and exceed all vehicles manufactures specifications and tolerance. CNC Machined and balanced for optimum performance. Slotted & Drilled to ensure maximum heat and gas dissipation for greater stopping power and minimize warping and cracking caused by repeated, high stress, height temperature braking. With An “E” Coat (black) Plating finish as an added protective layer to reduce Corrosion and prolong Disc Life.
H2 Ceramic Brake Pads: H2 High-Ceramic pad offers a solid brake fade resistance to increase driver’s controllability. Whether weekend, light track, Drifting, or Daily Driving, Rotora’s Ceramic formulated H2 Pads accommodate all driving Styles, Track lengths and environmental conditions. The Ideal Pad for all-around performance, Daily Street, and track ready.
Rotora's Stainless Steel Line: Rotora’s Stainless steel braided lines prevent brake hose expansion under pressure and improve stiffer pedal Feel. All Rotora’s Steel braided line meet D.O.T. Compliance standards and pressured tested to Meet FMVSS-106 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) Standards.

Any chance you will part with the rims and brakes? Let me know I'm very interested in those. I'll send you a set of OEM SportDesign Lexus wheels with new tires + OEM calipers so the car is still drivable/sellable. I doubt you are getting much return of original parts price by including the rims and brakes with the car.

Fritz. No way.
This car is beautiful. Impeccable condition. The swap was clean. The car itself is very clean and well maintained, not to mention very quick.
Good luck with sale bro. I vouch for this car. I wish I had the loot to buy it. Trade for a 03.5 G35 coupe?
