Default 1998 GS300 2JZ-GTE VVT-i / HKS F-CON TUNED / FLORIDA

Hello Everyone,

After much debate, I am selling my car. Still not sure if it's a good idea but I desperately need a truck. I have been on this site for almost 3 years now and love everything and everyone here. So, I am listing it here first. I must say, I've owned 2 Lexus's and they are the best cars, by far. I baby my car and only drive approx. 10,000 a year. I am the second owner of the car and bought it with 40,000 miles on it. It has a clean title. It presently has 81,813 miles. I have a BIG list of mods and some pictures. I will try to answer any questions you might have. As of right now, the car runs awesome. Just like stock but 424 hp to the wheels. Carfax report is flawless.

Asking Price $ 16,500. "new price"

Anytime you use a standalone computer your check engine light will come on. You are taking control of the ecu. The car runs perfect. Here's a dyno video.

No sunroof. I guess the owner special ordered this baby from Japan. I thought that was odd to, but it's so hot here, I wouldn't use it much.

The motor is complete Aristo from Japan. I did not take the head off or anything. So, yes they are vvt-i. That's why my torque numbers are so high. The tuner adjusted the timing slightly.

The VVTi bottom end, both GE and GTE have very weak rods, that's why I asked. Are you negotiable at all on price?
