I think changing over to a VTEC hybrid twin cam super flow Type R powertrain could do you some good...I'd seriously look into that if I were you.

Feel free to post with more questions...we're here to help a newbie such as yourself! =)

Wink No Luck, you better get a Mustang!

Man, who ever heard of that.... A fast lexus.

You better go trade that slow Lexus and get a Mustang if you want to run 12's.

You will never see a Lexus do 12's.

You must be Crazy!!!!


C-ya at the ford dealership,

I think you should swap in a COMPLETE Supra TT engine and drivetrain and...................Nah, that's impossible, too expensive, never work, go slow anyway, blow up....

ummm, if memory serves me, just buy either an 11 sec RX-7, a cyclone, a cobra, or a viper... they are the only things that are fast. a lexus would never even get close to being that fast. lmao!

seriously, where have you been clint?
