edge Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Picked up my new toy this evening. My friend, a member on here always seems to help me find these little jems. Thanks jimmer! Well some of you may have seen a jag thread i started as ive wanted something like an old cruising tank for a while now. So i kept my brain engaged and kept it toyota, well lexus to be exact. Picked up a very nice and well looked after LS400 with 1uz V8 inside. Its the quitest car ive been in ever and ive been in some rollers and bentlys before. Out of its million electronic toys they all seem to work as they should. Its an absolute dream to drive and a serious amount of car for £1000 - £2000 odd pounds as price varies a bit. Its 5 meters long but dont seem like your hurling a great barge about. I just wanted something comfy, cheap and reliable. Even the fuel economy is better that the GS300's according to alot of sites. Sorry but no pics yet as its a bit dark.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 I've always had a soft spot for one of these Its my xmas pressie to myself a bit early. Whats it go like? Barny is trying to get me to put one of these engines in a SupraGoes supprisinly well for a tank. Think book 0 - 60 is something like 8 seconds ish. Alot of guys fit these lovely engines in little corolla AE86's. Some gains will be ok in a supra from n/a , Engine is lighter and a remap should see you good for 300bhp and with some throttle bodies for some more noise. Nice! Keeping it in the family too Good work. Do like jags but didnt want to risk lots of headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
