Default 94 LS400 Parts Questions

I have a 94 LS 400 and I have been looking for a cold air intake for the last month. All I have found is an injen and ron miller kit on another lexus site (lextasy) but when I goto the manufactuers site they don't have the parts listed. Should I get one of the intake kits or just get the K&N filter from my local parts store?

Also I was thinking about getting a strut bar, I have heard the ones for a turbo supra will work with some spacers, can anyone give me a part number to one that will work for sure or should any bar for a turbo supra work?

Check these three sites. You'll find everything your looking for. They're listed in order of what I've found to be the lowest to highest price on most parts. All discounted however... For L-TunedParts, click on the OEM Link near the upper right.

Thanks, after doing some more research I decided to get the K&N filter and i ordered a Greedy Strut bar off ebay. The greedy PN is 14013003 and it is for a turbo supra will post here when I get it if it works along with pictures.

Your lexus comes with a perfectly fine cold air intake, stock.

Yes I found that out after much research, I'm picking up my K&N filter tomorrow morning (damn special orders) and my strut brace should be in the mail to me as we speak. Now I just have to figure out if I just want to get higher flow cats and mufflers for the stock exhaust or a full cat back system.

OK I got the strut bar about a week ago. I will need about 1/4 inch spacers (going to try and make them myself) on each end so I can bolt her in. Will try and get it done next weekend when I put a bunch of other parts I got on (Power Boards for my gauge cluster, upper control arms, Rear Bearings and new tail light assembly). Or does anyone know of a good 1/4 inch thick metal washer that will fit around the strut tower?

LOL yeah i do been waiting for a nice day, today is nice but I'm at work I ran out just to take that pic. For what this car has been thought it's actually in pretty good shape. It sat at a shop for 2 years before I bought it because the last owner blew the motor and had to get a new one installed and never paid for it.

thats the reason i tell people trying to fit in TT bars to buy MULTI PIECE BARS! you can adjust them to fit without using spacers.

Do these bars with hinges even make any difference? I know there are some bars that are full welded construction, these should be much better.

those are only really better when they're able to braced into the firewall, or better yet the rollcage the car would have it if was so prepped. as it is, yes these bars make a difference, but it is just slightly over minimal.

Don't know how much tighter it makes it since I still need to put a spacer in. Don't know if I want to get a bunch of washers for each stud or get some sheet metal and cut a custom spacer...
