Sorry, That was actually meant for him, not you. (to him) Seriously though... dump the 300 and just leave the 430 the way it is, it will take a bloody eternity and much sweat to get the 300 up the stock 430 level of performance. The difference between the two cars is astounding.

HA, ha ha:

So you think a GS 430 as a beater is impressive.

Check this out,

My beater is a '97 Turbo Charged Camry w/ Chrome Hubcaps.

Yeah, I know I'm straight pimpin'.

It must be nice to have two wonderful cars. I really thought this would turnout to be another 300vs4XX thread. I guess the 4XX guys were a little offended to classify a 430 as a beater.. I would agree, just a choice of words. The modded 300 looks great as well, lowered with wheels..

I never say or think it's impressive
I even think it's a lil' bit stupid to have a rear wheel drive beater in snowy WI
Anyway, I think yours is impresssive and pimpin' I haven't had a chance to get a turboed car before or try to turboed one's ride

Man, first Adrian, now you? That's the way I'd do it too, mod a GS3, and get a GS4 as a daily "driver". Actually, I have modded my GS3, so I guess next thing I'll have to do is get a GS4, and we can start an auxiliary club, "CLUB LEXI" for those members with more than 1 Lexus, specifically, more than 1 GS, heheh.
