Thanks Gary, it looks a even better in the flesh, it's like a piece of art.
Shame to hide it under a bonnet.

Oh Vince - I thought that you might at least have bothered to clean the old lump up a bit...


This looks so awesome. Well at least I think it does - there suddenly seems to be something covering my monitor which makes it a bit difficult to see the pics...

Is it a 4 pinion like the surfthough...risk of breaking it offroad otherwise.

Dunno never looked, but they can handle up to 700bhp.

Who's going to be the first to do the Lexus final drive into a 2.4 swap?

It'll give it quicker acceleration and limit the top speed to give the cooling system a chance.

No wonder the lexurfs are quick off the mark.

you better believe it baby!!!!!!!

Soarer/SC400 four speed auto is 3.92
Both cars changed to 3.26 when the five speed auto was introduced.

2.4 Surf is 4.87
3.0 Surf is 4.30

Vince, if it's been asked before, sorry.

What is the final drive ratio on a lexus?

And on a 2.4 Surf?

It's got half decent all the way round now!
Next acquisition is new bfg's. Going to stay with 31's. After that...maybe sone super coil packs and thick ht leads. Will eventually get to change the distributor caps...just gotta find a house to rent first!

On a private piece of road, so it was all legal like,
0-60 1st run, 6.7 seconds,second run, with 39 psi in the tyres, 6.4 seconds, so around 0.60 of 6.55seconds. This gave me 112 mph at 1/4 mile and before the road ran out 137mph. I got all ignition parts renewed and two spark amps, coupled with a (very minor) tickle in the fuelling dept.

is it still on baldy tires

wish mine went like that

it will always crack paint - the machine mart ones wont make what you need.

i have a wheel with a stippled face for doing radius curves ( works like a shrinking hammer) so the curve doesn't stretch out of shape.

even then on really tight corners on bonnet vents youll still end up using dollys and panel hammers - bye bye paint

mine came from a retired aircraft engineer - dunno what it cost new but i gave £50 for mine and that was 15 years ago
