New here...

Just wanted to introduce myself (and car). This is my first Lexus. Just got it a few weeks ago and love it!!! Anyway, most of the car is a Lexus

It's a 1995 SC300 with a 2jzgte twin turbo supra motor swap. List of mods include:
ported head, intake manifold, throttle body
blitz front mount intercooler
blitz DD blow off valve
custom grind 264 cams
custom downpipe
Aem Ems engine management

Pretty fast ride and gets pretty good attention too... the cool part is, that it looks completely stock from the outside and the interior, with the exception of the wheels.

Welcome to the board. I'm new myself.
How much did that swap cost you? Any 1/4 mile times yet?

The swap didn't cost me a penny.. LOL. I got the car on a trade for my Mustang. I haven't taken it to the track yet because it's running rich and I've got to get hooked up with someone who can tune it well. There's a couple of reputable people around here, so I just gotta save up a little cash. I saw the reciept for the swap and it was around $16k.

Thanks! I was originally selling my Mustang for cash, but ran across a deal I couldn't pass up. I just hope the wife lets me keep it around.

Nice car

$16k I'm assuming he got the 6-speed Getrag tranny in there too? You're in the turbo registry, now go to the dyno and get me some numbers!

Denny,

Did you trade your mustang for the Lexus with a guy that is named Jermaine in Houston, TX?
