  1. Certainly i wouldn't want to mislead anyone , but in the uk they have run side by side tests with stock tt's and supras, the main thing about the supra is sheer power, which the stockk tt i admit hasn't got tons of, but it's probably the most efficient top , and roll on tests shows that the tt will keep up with , and depending on speed you're travelling at even beat the supra , but thats on british roads, (which to be totally honest are rubbish ) the austrailian clubs have shedloads of stuff, too , possibly the best source of info anyone can get, but if you really want sheer power , and aren't too bothered with fuel consumption ,not a lot's gonna beat a supra and yes i'd like a supra as well as my tt, but if you got a massive budget do what you will , they're all good cars but i'm still trying to find the bit that could be called misleading? bear in mind that the 1.5 is an expensive mod , hence the part about good mechanics , and of course the electronic stuff that goes with it a more efficient head with the 3 litre bottom and twin turbo's is not a good thing?
  2. If you wanna find out what the Soarer TT 2.5 does than try Lexus Soarer Owners Club theres a load of info on the TT there, like stock TT's with minor boost mods running 14 second quarters :)
  3. Just wondering about the nice shiny lights that are generically refered to as 'Lexus Style' on Ebay etc, does anyone know of any of these that fit the back of an SC ? it's a shame to have a Lexus without lexus lights B)
  4. It's funny for me to see the SC400 as a more sporty car , us old brits think of it as a 'pipe and slippers ' variant compared to the TT , if you are only gonna have two adults and possibly two small adults or kids in the back , and only enough luggage for a weekend trip somewhere ( i can get a full size mountain bike , wheels removed , and the assorted stuff, or a couple of sets of golf clubs in the back of my Soarer , same car as an SC400 in the size department ) then the SC is the win , it's very sporty and has the tremendous levels of refinement you expect from a lexus in terms of ride quality etc, i don't know what options are available in the USA, but the general standard of equipment we see on the imported V8's is very high , def fully loaded , i say imported because Toyota never sold any of the Soarers, or SC's in UK :( the only problems that have raised thier ugly heads on most UK cars are the 'blinky dash ' (which if you know someone good with a soldering iron costs about 5 quid, (10$) to fix apart from time , ) and the lower control arms , or at least the ball joint on them , and thats only if the bushes have been allowed to wear :whistles: Good Luck on whichever you buy though , they are ALL great cars Edit spelling , i can't type
  5. always a de cat and a free flowing intake in easy terms the car needs to breathe freely to use it's power and torque :)
  6. I'd guess a BFI , and IF you can get away with it , depending on car age and emissions, a de cat and straight thru exhaust :P
  7. Hi , seems that no one has heard of the 1.5jtze ? this is something discussed on the UK forums a fair bit , the 2.5 TT has the best 'breathability ' of just about everything, and in real world use the 2500 TT is fasterthan the twin turbo supra with just a little care and attention, ie a decat and a BFI , but the 1.5 is a mix of the top off the 2500 , with the bottom of a 3L , in the UK this conversion costs a lot , but where you know some GOOD mechanics anything is possible, the most efficient use fo fueling , ie the best bang for the buck is such that a totally stock TT except for a boost controller and guage , with stock ceramic turbos running 1bar , can pull a sub 14 sec quartermile , which is nice if you then change the stock tubs for hybrids, (steel wheels in the turbo ) you suffer more lag but the boost can be turned up to 1.5 bar apparently ( not got round to it yet on mine , still stock :( )but that efficincy of 'breathing ' added to a three litre engine is more efficicent than the big supras, until you get into st00pid price modifications the TT Twin tubs run together, the supra twins run in series, which means huge power output , but not necessarily where you need it off the track but if you stick a TT Head , on a 3L jze , you will love the result, at least thats what i'm told about that particular mod :D . ceramics spool up so fast it's almost lag free, a perfect match to the standard TT auto box the base TT engine internals are apparently good for 600 horses, and the TT gearbox for 400 without any modifications, if you need more than that , then i'd hate to have to pay for your tyres
