Twin Turbo GS Speaks, Again.
Gentlemen. I do not post to often, but I think it is time for me to do so. I feel that the purpose of the forums is for a gathering of POSITIVE enthusiast learning, helping, and sharing imformation and becoming one community.
If I go to a Lexus Dealeership to purchase a car, I will chose the color I like. We all have that right. If I see a color or STYLE I do not like, then I would simply say, "I don't care for the color".
I feel that we are not hear to pick apart some ones car, but if they are ASKING for and opinon, then give a positive, constructive, opinon.
Hear is a small break down of my 1998 GS400 all metal wide body Twin Turbo Lexus.
I built the car solely to compete in the Carshow Circuit. That means that it was built for points. The car has been in many ads, mags, and web sites. I have been invited to SEMA every year since 2003 so the car is respected in the community. To date, I have spent over $150K on the car
Reather you liked them or not, my trade mark is the red headlights and the screen in the gas led.
The Stock color of the car is Blk. Then it became red, white, red/orange Kandy, Red Candy, and now True Gold with a green/red Kandy.
The all metal wide body is molded to a Veilside kit that consist of a hood, side skirts, front & rear bumber and rear spoiler.
Engine bay is shaved and filled. Complete wire tuck. Secondary fuel system. Over a 150 man hrs in the intake alone. ETC.... Over $70K in the motor.
Interior: Carbon headliner, Carbon Door Panels, Carbon Satus Racing seats, Carbon dash pieces, Custom painted 2 tone Kandy roll cage. All Italian leather and suede. 4, 10" kavlar/carbon subs in rear deck led ETC....
My mode list is very long. There is nothing on the car that has not been touched or customed. From the wireless controlled Airrunner's to the 2 Garret turbo.
I will attach varies picks to show the stages of the built.

As you are aware, a stock trans will only hold up to 400hp. Based on the horse power we estimated the motor will produce, I have looked at other possibilities that will cost me another $6-12,000.
Now that HIN is gone for good and I went from doing 18-22 shows a year to only 4. I don't know if I will continue.
The boss (my wife) wants to move. So selling my house and purchasing another home is my next big move.
Down payment is needed before a trans.
I am working on a 1987 Porshe 928 S4 and a 1995 LS430. The LS is all JP and is my daliy driver.

Glad to see the owner got to post up. there was alot of negative feedback on another thread and I am sure it was overran in the other thread.
HIN has changed alot and see it fail with changes aswell.
Good luck with the sale and the motor is one of my Favorites , i personally loved the black and red combo the best
