This forum is about tech and help.. threre are all over the palce so i decided to put it into one place.
Wheels-- you can go up to 20's with about .5-1.00 drop. on my car i have 18' quantum tek, 235/45/18 all around and plaining to drop it with 1.75 intrax..

Strut bar can be used from a 94+ Supra, with washer installed to clear the engine. i can also get clear fronts, and rear. But i really need help with the group buy for the body kit.. thanks.

Hey if you guys are looking for parts let me know. First if you want and intake for LS400, it easy and cheap. Rod Millen makes one but he wants 180+, you can get one for 55 bucks like me. Order a Supra adapter for about 25 or 30 bucks then a cone shape filter, make sure it is a cubber bottom.. Metal or chrom bottom would ba pain in the *** to get on the adapter. Secon for the Strut Tower bar. No one makes one.but... Order a new generation Supra modle bar, all you have to do is buy washer to prop up the bar. Stock the bar is not bent high enough to clear the engine so it vibrates it. So i put about 4 washer on each bolt, and it solves the problems. The exhaust. The best and cheapest was is to build your own cat back, if you have a kit or plan on getting one then this is great. First buy two exhaust any kind universal. then take it to a local exhaust, make sure they do quality work (what you pay is what you get). it shouldn't be more than 150-200 for the piping done. Tell them to cut all the old piping form the old cat-back. Just intsall a 2 1/2 pipe back, stright no bends, do not foll the old exhaust bend. Just straight and close to the body as possible, make sure it clears and make sure they sucure the pipe with lots of hangers. This stright cat-back should add about 10 hp, but i got to warn you it's kidda loud. So if you dont' like it that loud, but an univers exhuast with a silencer/baffle on it. For other mods e-mail me. IF you want these parts, email me too, i know a guys with a shop that is a lexus owner also so he give me great prices. Nguyennhu23@aol.com
Next...
I recently spoke with VIS, they said they can get me an evoulution kit. the kit comes with front bumber, sides (with door caps, about 6pcs total), rear, Eyes brows, and front grill, maybe a spoiler i'm not sure but i'll check. Anyways they said that they can ship the kit here from japan for me for about 950. I asked them what about a group buy, they said that i can probably get the kit for a couple of hundered cheaper then what they told me if i bought it by myself. So here we go.. E-mail me if you want to join the group buy it is Nguyennhu23@aol.com
you can view the kit at www.importfans.com
Go to their old site, the icon is near the middle of the page. Then products and then lexus LS400 kit. the kit that looks like the evolution is the what they call junction kit.
Hope to hear from you sooN!!!!

 

welcome LS400in520, nice to see another LS400 freek. i got a qusetion for you, do you think a striaght pipe would still be that loud even though the engine is a v8?

 

no it would not be loud if you have a resonator still attached and buy a universal exhaust with a sliencer/baffle on it. the baffle will hurt performance but will lower the noise considerably, just take it out if you go to the track or just on the week end.. Dose anyone else have any parts info i dont' have or anyother tech?

 

Yo LS400in520, can you tell me what brand is your strut and can you hook me up with one?

 

the strut is for a new genration Supra, i can get it for you for about 50 or maybe less. I'll call the guy at the shop to confirm then i'll give you his number. One waring you will have to use washer to prop up the bar so it clears the engine!
The guy i'm dealing with is great, he has a japanese spec soarer (sc300) with a single large turbo. He a nice guy. So e-mail me @ Nguyennhu23@aol.com or IM me at night at that IM on aol and i'll help you. Is there anymore mods out there that i don't have that won't cost and arms and a leg?
Thanks

 

What brand is the brace (Reactive, HKS, etc.) and what is it made of?
On other mods you can get silicone wires for about a $100 and spark plugs. Jacobselectronics makes one for that price but Magnecore also makes one for $300.
Try to find out how much the grill and the eyebrow is seperately for me.
Thanks,

 

ive been trying to find if they sell ti sepratly but all i got so far is no. The brace is stainless steal, with red boot, it's just a generic. I can get you a billet one like from DCsport for around 100. but they work the same so i got the regular one.
if you want let me know, i'll get you the guy number.
I just replace the wire with stock lexus one and wthe spark with denso platnium. anyother mods?

One more.. i need about 3-4 guys to get a really go deal on the body kit.about 100 cheaper than what i posted.

 

If you can get a pic of exactly what the kit looks like I'll think about it.
Another mod is getting side markers. I got some on my ride and they look really good!
As of other mods I don't know unless you want to dish out the cash.
Hey I'm interested in the DCsports brace. Send me a private message (on the bottom of the main forum page) on the guys number.
Thanks,

 

loule beat you alreday.. i have side markers already. dc style is around 100, i'll call the guy today after work and find out. alite. i give you his number after. I'm working on the kit, but the junction is almost identical. thanks
i'll IM you tonight.. around 9 or 10.. or look for me nguyennhu23 on aol IM.

That's cool.
I'm just looking around and checking prices.
Thanks,
