Default My semi new toy

This is my lex it is a 92 SC4 and is in pretty good shape. Done nothing to it but the tints. Want a new front bumber, defenitely rims, exhaust, and stereo system. I am starting an auto custom and detailing business and this will be my demo car. Oh yeah and redone guages and needles ( O.L.T.) anyway just thought I'd show you guys. Everyone is amazed it is a 92.

And there is the kicker that is a REALLY BIG NUMBER !!!!
Even though the car runs GREAT that number scares the hell out of me. That number is the cause of all my mods being put on hold until I can afford the biggest tune up possible. The car has a history from the lex dealer that gives every time the owner sneezed up until 180,000 miles and shows only 1 timing belt change so I guess that is on the cards next, then my guages to O.L.T.
Got to clear my headlights next weekend.

Great looking car, and even with 209k miles. Wow and I only have 96k on a 93sc400, looking forward to clocking some more mileage on this baby.

Compression/leakdown test, filters, oil, water hoses, maybe re-seal the PS pump, plugs, change all fluids, timing belt and water pump, and you're good to go.

Yeah I know.
The Power steering pump is new, I would love to do the compression test. Filters are all new, hoses and belts are nwe.
Need new plugs and wires.
Timing belt and water pump are bugging me as I know they have to be coming up. I also know that will be one damn expensive service.
Correct me if I am wrong does anyone knopw how much ????

it would be in your best interest to befriend a lexus mechanic.. i pay 1000.00 for a full tune up/ water pump,timing belt change(all parts included)-still alot but i trust no other under my hood!.The dealer out here charges over this amount for just for the timing belt change!...good luck
