Let the modding begin. I have a question about the torque convertor.
For those who have one. Who did your installation? I have a performance shop here that says they can do it, but I'm thinking maybe I should take it to a transmission shop where they have more experience. Any problems that arose in the course of the install?
looks like a busy little corner i c new wheels, r those works?. i c H&R springs and shocks, and i c srt intake, is that a new wing i really can't tell ?
Yeah, next week is going to be fun. What we got there is Work Euroline FS's in 18x8.5 and 9.5, thanks to Tommy (Lexus GS3) a Veilside Executive wing, L_Tuned shocks, H&R springs, Precision Industries Dragon torque convertor, SRT intake/ecu and not shown is the Carson tuned exhaust which is being delivered Monday..

I had my TC installed at the lexus dealer. The mechanic was specifically recommended by a other CL members that had the same work done [TC, LSD, etc]. I was still within my warranty at the time so I paid the dealership premium. If I was out of warranty the choice would have been a lot harder.
I had the dealer install the LSD at the same time. I'm sure it did void the warranty but I wanted to have the Lexus mechanic look around for any other damage [CPO covered] while he was doing the install. Then I could have them fix any problems prior to voiding my warranty for those portions of the car. And the mechanic/dealer backed the install if there were any problems.
That's cool. I'm in Kentucky though and I doubt my dealrship is as mod friendly as the ones in Cali. I'll give them a call in the morning and see what they say. Thanks for the input.
i don't have it yet but i already get a shop that i know very well to do it. they know what they are doing. when it comes to these stuff, i'd play safe
I am thinking of installing the T/C and the LSD in my 99 GS4, and I would like to know what a good price for the parts would be. Since I am in California, shipping will not be a problem. I intend to install both items myself.
Everyone says that acceleration will be markedly increased, making it easier to hit the limiter between shifts. I know gas mileage will be worse, but I am wondering how much it will decrease. If anyone can give me an idea, I would be appreciative. Hopefully these gasoline proces will go down somewhat, but it is still manageable...so far! I still love my car, and will not give it up just for poor gas mileage.
carson toyota has both, the tc is about 900 i think and the lsd (assume supra one) would be as high as 1350 to 1400, not cheap. as usual, very damn heavy stuff
gas mileage, i would say decrease by about 4-5mpg? and yes, i have driven one with them before, the accel is insane for the car
