there is a group buy going on for PI Torque converters in the vendors forum right now. The price listed for a GS400 is 700 dollars

CLICK HERE to view the thread.

I'm not sure if RMM still sells the 3.76 gears/LSD, but I know they used to be about 1500 or so. they are the same thing as a Supra Twin Turbo LSD rear, but I dont know how easy they are to come across.

From what I've been told the LSD install is a pretty involved one, I'm not too sure about the TC

Good luck

i hear ya bro, when I joined this site, I used to think the same thing! "Damn how in the hell do these guys spend THAT much money on car parts?" But stick around man, ClubLexus changes you by the day. I bet you in about 2months, you'll be rationalizing with yourself to afford that TC!!

That is a great deal on it by the way (the TC) I want the lower gears myself, since I have 20s.

you are correct L4L, you say to yourself "once I get so and so, I am DONE", and then its 2 or 3 more things, and on and on and on! LOL

I really believe that this site has alot to do with it though, there are so many people that focus on so many different things, you have a chance to appreciate (and sooner or later want) all of them.

I think I'm already ahead of you on that one lol, it was a decision I had to make, y2k S430 or y2k GS400. I decided to go with the GS400 because it's a mixture of sport and luxury vs the s430 is pure luxury and can be boring to drive, (my gf has a 01" S500) beside the luxurious interior and exterior everything in there looks boring. Even their Navi screen is a tiny 5 incher I think and it sucks not even touch screen the list goes on.

lsd, very hard to find, supra tt lsd, only from certain yrs i forgot. new unit is about 1500 yes

install, tc is very hard, have to pull out the whole tranny. after install have to flush the whole tranny again. need to install tranny coolor too, another 50 bucks maybe

install the 3.76 supra tt lsd is very easy, bolt on, 2 hr job.
