The Ferrari 027

Well my mechanic DID forge the pistons (whatever that means) It came with the whole "make it really fast" package I told him. I don not know if that makes a big difference. He also did something about the overhead cams (replaced them with racing cams? I duno 'bout cams) The mech is my dad's friend and he's really good with that stuff although he usually only American cars. Im not sure bout 60 footer or 1/8th. I run at Jakson in SC and only do quarter. p.s. Im not sure if "forge the pistons" is the right term, in any case it has forged pistons now.

Elagant

I have to assume he meant the ride was not bad before they blew. I would not be riding around on a busted strut.

You will have someone tell you to check the wiring in the trunk for frays.

Maybe the dealer did it to help prevent the entire vehicle from being stolen but anyone could still put it into gear so that does not make any sense. I doubt someone stole al of the shifter knobs though. I would definatally not worry about it in any case.

Contemperary

If you didnt drive it in 4 days thats prob the prob. I have to go out and crank up mine every 5 days or so or I,ll have to jump it.

No way. Good deal. And this hapens to everyone's older LS400 so dont feel bad.

92. But yea. Best 10.79 Most recent 10.86

Ancient

Supposedly, Lenso makes the lightest drag rims avialible

I doubt they are springs, they are probably hydrolics if they are like everyone elses. And yea you can replace them just type something like "LS400 Lexus hood hydrolics" in the search engine at ebay. Or look in the replacement part section at carstuff.com

40"

My future plans are to run under 8.5 seconds. I have a modified toyota supra racing intake by K&N, racing plug wires, 40 series flo-master, Lenso lightweight drag rims, I usually use high perfermance Toyo tires that are very soft so they don't last long but great handling, a piggyback computer system to control optimum fuel ignition, ceramic brake pads, Hooker headers, and 3.5" exaust pipes. Aftermarket sound system and radio. Ill get some pics soon but like I've said its in the shop for that famous low idle, wont take off problem that all the older LS400s run into. The mechanic replaiced almost all of the electronics in the engine exept the ECU and that didnt fix the prob so now hes ordering a new ECU for it, everyone pray that fixes the problem.

Yea my Lexus is my racing project car.

Yea it is a ridiculous pain to change them.

92

Yea and I have the same car as you do. Mech told me that the front left upper control arm and its bearings (as well as thebearings on the lower left and right) were bad and they needed to be replaced. The price is rediculous.
