Greetings from Australia. I have recently purchased a December 2000 build GS300. Great car.

I keep hearing "L-tuned" but can't find exactly what this represents?

Was it just 'decoration' ie. badges, front grille, 18" wheels and stiffer suspension, or is there more to the story?

Does anyone know the full specification sheet?

Greatly appreciate any help please.

Cheers, Dave

 

L-tuned is a website that sells everything for lexus cars... If you would have simply put "l-tuned" in google search you would have found out in 2 seconds

Lexus offered a package years ago called the L-tuned package as well, which consisted of the (badges, grille, side skirts, salina wheels and steering ecu)! These parts were offered as an aftermaket package, that you could actually purchase prior to you picking up your new car. This package has since been discontinued and is no longer available. You may get lucky and find several of these parts on members cars, but they are hard to come across. These were some the first dealer offered aftermarket production pieces offered. Good luck!

Here is more detailed info:http://www.lexus.com/about/news/arti...0000809_1.html

Great pick up by the way!

 

Thanks Wringo. I know about the L-tuned website but your reply was what I am after.

What difference would the steering ecu make?

 

The steering ecu offered a stiffer steering wheel control which made it more of a sporty feel!

 

Similar to that of the GS430 or Sport Design.

 

I would only assume it had that feeling, because I never purchased the steering ecu or drove a 430 or Sport Design GS! Apparently, it works quite well from what I hear from members who did get one!

 

WELCOME vscalais

 

oh sorry about that. I thought u were talking about the store... opps It was early in the morning, LOL

 

I got one! But it off a member on here.

 

Did you install it yet? Did you notice any difference?

 

From what I found, the upgraded steering ECU came standard on all 2001+ GS. The only difference was 2GS built before then had the sloppy steering.

 

are u trolling from the 3GS section lol

u forgot bout the lowering springs and shocks

funny look at the prices of the L-tunes stuff and think bout what they sell for STILL now-a-days
