lex-
i may take you up on that list...is this the same lex that use to post on the ladman forum..or was that lex luger (haven't looked there for awhile since this forum took off...anyone knows what happened to lad himself?)?
if i do import any parts from the motherland of lexus, i think i'll try some nihonjin contacts first, but the problem is, making sure the part that comes over is the right part (you'd figure someone would have made a universal translator by know...). what is that hyper rev mag anyway?
with the conversion rate on the rise(what is it 130?), might be a good time to look? max, you got a good idea, us marketside distributor...but logistics is an issue.

MaxMax and 808state
Max,
So you're car is basically stock right? 300hp at the crank, is sorta a play on numbers right? So can your car outrun a current GS400 right now?
Or will the chip, and intake from weapon R get u to outrun GS400s?
808state,
Excatly WHAT kind of Soarer parts or upgrades can you SMUGGLE over?
email me: timeless@popstar.com

Anthracite my car is a 93 so it's rated at 250hp stock. Now with my WR chip and intake and my exhuast system it's easily 300 hp based on our dyno numbers. The car went from a stock output of 180 rwhp to 224 rwhp, then exhaust got it up to 235 rwhp. if it's rated at 250 with a wheel output number of 180, all things being equal my car's making 305 hp.

I don't know, I'd like to race one. I would expect it to beat the GS400 but I'd have to race one to know. Honestly there aren't many GS's out here owned by people who actually race them. I saw some asian dude with a white one and Aristo badges on it, but that was on the freeway in traffic. If I can get up to the track this weekend I'll post the 1/4 time and see if it's faster than a GS400.

Anthracite SC-
none yet... if i do import stuff, it's gonna be in person. prices r/t to japan have been around 4-5 hundred, plus i can stay with some friends or if you don't know anyone, stay at some XXX **** theatres. on soko ga shiritai, some of the businessmen after work would stay there because it took too long to go back home after a long night of drinking. shezzz, i wouldn't get any sleep if i stayed there!
on the way back, i think i would have to hit up on my friends dad to get be through customs so i don't have to pay fees...
haven't visited japan in awhile... might be time to take a visit soon. only thing holding me back is all these crazy people in this world!
