Torque Convertor.....

3.76 gears

Just keeping the 2 word theme going

 

how much and how easy is it to get one installed?

 

there is a group buy going on for PI Torque converters in the vendors forum right now. The price listed for a GS400 is 700 dollars

I'm not sure if RMM still sells the 3.76 gears/LSD, but I know they used to be about 1500 or so. they are the same thing as a Supra Twin Turbo LSD rear, but I dont know how easy they are to come across.

From what I've been told the LSD install is a pretty involved one, I'm not too sure about the TC

Good luck

 

Ok I gotta really stop asking these questions, always come to a disappointment when price is mentioned lolz. they're nice to have but damn that's a lot of money to through away for a faster split second.

 

i hear ya bro, when I joined this site, I used to think the same thing! "Damn how in the hell do these guys spend THAT much money on car parts?" But stick around man, ClubLexus changes you by the day. I bet you in about 2months, you'll be rationalizing with yourself to afford that TC!!

That is a great deal on it by the way (the TC) I want the lower gears myself, since I have 20s.

 

hey D ,funny how that works its almost like you want to have 10 lines on your sig of mods , the longer the list the happy and more upset you get at the same time (money spent)

anyway anyone want to join me on the bankruptcy express

 

you are correct L4L, you say to yourself "once I get so and so, I am DONE", and then its 2 or 3 more things, and on and on and on! LOL

I really believe that this site has alot to do with it though, there are so many people that focus on so many different things, you have a chance to appreciate (and sooner or later want) all of them.

 

I think I'm already ahead of you on that one lol, it was a decision I had to make, y2k S430 or y2k GS400. I decided to go with the GS400 because it's a mixture of sport and luxury vs the s430 is pure luxury and can be boring to drive, (my gf has a 01" S500) beside the luxurious interior and exterior everything in there looks boring. Even their Navi screen is a tiny 5 incher I think and it sucks not even touch screen the list goes on.

 

tc we have a gb now, 700, very nice price

lsd, very hard to find, supra tt lsd, only from certain yrs i forgot. new unit is about 1500 yes

install, tc is very hard, have to pull out the whole tranny. after install have to flush the whole tranny again. need to install tranny coolor too, another 50 bucks maybe

install the 3.76 supra tt lsd is very easy, bolt on, 2 hr job.

 

sorry ed been there done that !!! your on your own there !!

 

thanks man
