i goggled and saw a few stories bout it but never seen it or hear much about it..it looks like it has a SRT turbo kit on it from MO and he has what looks to be the same setup as TTURBOPIMP especially from another google search where i found this..

so noone has seen or heard anything about this car since 2005 huh?

sakataj

iTrader: (182)

so NONE of you OG's or computer nerds (like me) have seen or heard about this car in 5 years?

DrRick

i remember the car but the guy never posted and no real info was ever put out about it. if im not mistaken....that was the first GS to use the newer location of mounting the turbos. im almost positive that folks like Mariusz had their turbo's mounting lower....

It was in an unfortunate accident, he told me to buy the turbo setup but I showed him I have a GS300.
The engine's fully built and ready to be dropped into any car....

thanks man....i figured if anyone would know about it, a OG would. off topic you used to have a RMM SC right? you sell it?

you serious? how long ago was this?
you shoulda picked it up anyways, lol... so where is this fully built motor now?

get firefox it has a built in spell checker. BTW the word is beautiful.... lol. and get in line....haha yeah right,im sure even the both of us cant afford it together

i startled googling gs400 twin turbo crash,chris rado crash lexus, still got NOTHING on this vehicle, its like it disappeared. (although i did find pauls car (AG4) when googling a TTgs400 on another site with some known CL members on there.

i was unaware,though, he said the car put out 700hp on that Twin-Turbo. how did he get by the ecu/tranny issues alot of you F.I. guys have had going over 400hp? or was he using a full standalone?.....even so wouldnt he need the oem ecu to work the features in the car?



since you seem to know alot bout this and yes im probably pipe dreaming here, do you know what he's asking for it? its a shame just to have it sitting there though. i think i might try emailing him for ****s and giggles, when i met him at NOPI years ago he was rather nice maybe he'll even answer

lexusscturbo

iTrader: (12)

I believe he used an AEM stand alone.

DrRick

isnt that TTurboPimp's car?

and good to see my memory isnt fading. this was the 1st iteration of SRT's TT set-up...



the new one...like rado's and TTurboPimps was nicknamed the Scorpion. the turbos sitting forward like scorpion claws.

dont ask me how i remember this after all these years...

sakataj

iTrader: (182)

hmmm, cool. i wonder if he used the oem one also for the factory features.
i ACTUALLY got a reply email back this afternoon.....although it didnt tell me much this is what it did say

"Cars been gone for 2 years now :-(

NEXT...

Rob Cardona"

i sent him a follow up asking if it was sold or wrecked....dunno why im so curious bout this car but i am


oops my apologies, i dunno why i thought it was one of the transformations of paul's car

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...aks-again.html


wow that first iteration looks so cluttered....the 2nd one was much, much better

guess it pays to be a OG, lots of useless knowledge that one day becomes useful when someone like me comes looking

sakataj

iTrader: (182)

well, looks like you were correct lexusscturbo....

this is the email i got last night

"Car was in an accident. The motor & transmission are still available at a SMOKING DEAL!!"

im sure im pipe dreaming but i did send him a email to find out what kind of a smoking deal it is.
