I thought I would add this most recent video of my car to this thread for an update. Will be back soon to post up my 9 sec passes.

Thanks guys, it was allot of fun at the meet, beating down sports cars with a 4 door sedan is fun. Next year at FL2K14 my Lexus should be bringing 200 more HP to the tire. I was out of injector and pump during this meet at 27 psi.

Here are the latest dyno numbers, this is on a Mustang dyno so the numbers are a bit lower than the Dynojet, I've heard anywhere from 8%-15% lower. Keep in mind this is through a TH400 trans with a non locking converter so the numbers are going to be lower than what the car makes, the way it was explained to me is, the more power the car makes the more the converter slips so it skews the dyno dumbers when this happens. That is why car with lock up converters read so high, the bottom line is 4100 pounds + MPH at the track will be a better indicator of actual HP.

Yea I think it's over 1000 to the tire on a Dynojet but we will see. 999 Torque!! I love this thing, totally bad *** and my daily driver. I use it for my insurance adjusting business as a Public Adjuster.

sold the Viper, not really crazy about that car. The Supra is so much nicer. I dyno'd the Supra on the same day. 460 RWHP at 14psi. Need to hook up my boost controller and HKS DLI as we were getting a misfire at 14psi. I barely drive the Supra though, at 42 years old now I really like the comfort and power of the GS300, the GS is such a nice ride. Love this car.

This is by far the hardest part of converting to manual. Also from what I read online, up until this point it seemed to me everyone in the know about this job said you had to use a remote clutch master cylinder as the firewall is contoured, the only manual GS300's out there had a remote master from what I've seen. This goes to show you you can use all Lexus parts to make this look like factory!

A few more pics of the outside, a bit blurry





whats up guys i have a question >how hard is it to turn my gs300 manual and if u have any tips for me

Your car is a beast. Are you using factory axles on the DD GS300?
