  1. Tuesday (for a hamburger today)
  2. What the heck is cornswaggle? Popcorn :P
  3. Dog show Smooth, it sounds like you have the good life, golf in the mornings, fast cars in the day time, and ladies at night... Well I must say I would rather be hot then cold, Florida vs. Alaska, I think I will take Florida every time even in the summer......
  4. Ghost.... (the cartoon old school) You know Smoothe I really like Florida as I almost moved to the Destin area last year on the gulf... I quickly reconsidered after thinking about the constant humidy, hurracanes, and sharks I would have to deal with.....
  5. Well smooth, if that's the case then I stand corrected...I thought we were talking about the 400 lexus's only... I no nothing about the smaller torque converters that hook up with the IS300's..
  6. Nice pics Smooth... "I got to hand it to you Mr. Sosa you have every thing a man can want..." "Tony, I can tell there is no lying in you...." All I got in this world is my word and my balls and I don't break them for nobody.... Captain
  7. Smooth, a torque converter is a torque converter no matter how you look at it.....As long as it is balanced and set at the same stall rate one should not feel different then another... I do have a story to tell though and it wasn't all roses with the DTC...I ordered the Dragon torque converter and installed it and got vibration because it was not in balance.... I took it out and returned it as it may became unbalanced during shipping or just was not checked by the company..... Precision Industries took the TC shaker back and sent me another one free of charge...Installation twice was a pain though.....Now after 4 years of running on this one I experience no noies, no vibration, great lowend power and torque, and nothing bad to say about it...
  8. Smooth my boy I gotta disagree... I've been riding around with my Dragon Torque converter for 4 years now and it makes no noise, and operates just perfect... I can't say one thing bad about the Precision Industries Dragon Torque converter....Well maybe the price is a little much... You can basically get the same product for half the price at Lextreme.com... They take your stock torque converter and recalibrate it for you for around $400...
  9. With all due respect fellas these motors that you all are talking about are either way too expensive or are unattainable.. Nice thought though guys but I think you are 5-8 years and still thousands of dollars away from making it happen in my humble opinion.... I am currently working on an LS1 and mated GM tranny swap into my 1992 SC400...With the Ls1 and Ls2 motors you can achieve 400hp N/A with just a few simple mods.. This Gm tranny, ECU, and LS1 motor can be purchased for around $2000-$3000 for everything running... When swapping into an SC400 you need to weld and make some custom fit motor and tranny mounts, hook up with a driveshaft shop and make one side toyota and other GM and that is about it...Drop it all in, integrate the ignition, throttle cable and cluster in accordance with the GM ECU...Wiring diagrams of both motors and cars are needed. Then you are looking at one very very fast and somewhat reliable SC400. Then if you ever get a wild hair and want to boost the LS1 motor then sky is the limit...Those GM auto mated trannies out of the GTO's and Camaro's can hold good decent power too... I left out that the LS1 headers are a hard fit in the engine bay of the Sc400's, custom made flat headers will need to be made or part of the SC400 chassis will need to be cut out ....Not a big deal, but other then that it all fits in... The shifter on the GM auto tranny is positioned 6 inches to far back but a little custom work and it is doable as well... There is not a better swap bang for the buck then that guys...The problem is that most Toyota and Lexus owners curse GM products and won't even entertain that idea... However, If you can get past that hang up then you will be good to go as I am...
  10. Get a Camery... They are cheaper and basically the same...
  11. NO I don't love it...... Just my opinion...
