Default Dreams Do Come True

My Dream of owning a GS400 finally came true last year. I was looking for a car and one night I dreamed I was driving a Lexus GS400. That morning I did a search in my city for one and there it was. I called for info, took a test drive and bought it. I owned a 1992 Ford Exploder before this. What a change! I will never go back to a truck, yet alone a domestic.

Not sure. Right now I need a 1 Farad Capacitor for the sound system in the car. I have 800 watts and when the sub requires the power to produce the BASS, it goes quite until there is enough power built up again for the amps. Do you or any one else know a reputable company from which to purchase a capacitor from? Thanks.

Congratulations! I know how you feel

I remember seeing this car in a magazine back in 1997 and wanting one ever since. I finally got it two years ago and felt like I was dreaming for the first couple months! I LOVE this car, you made an excellent choice!

PS - Welcome to CL.


For the Audio get an XSTATIC Batcap.


The Model 400 definitely gives you more bang for the buck!
This heavy hitter gives you a whopping 400 peak amps for 8 seconds! More than enough
juice for even the most demanding situations. Weighing in at only 5 pounds, it opens
up endless opportunities for installations and applications alike! The dimensions are
H - 3.14"/ W - 3.70"/ D - 5.44". The suggested retail on the Model 400 is $229.00 making it
extremely affordable when compared to the number of batteries and capacitors it replaces.
