Is this your first timing belt change?
If not, how long did you go between changes?

Turbo went on at 128K miles...running strong making high 13sec passes.

Umm, not sure if I replied to this so I'm going to reply now lol. 208,500 miles, when the stock engine was pulled at 207,900 the car ran great and absolutely no problems to report.... car still runs great, other than a few small swap-related issues.

Just an update: I will roll 212,000 this week. Since last update, I have needed an alternator, battery, distributor o-ring (which caused the alt/batt), new driveshaft (the knocking sound), and my radiator has sprung a leak somewhere...

No major problems yet? What is your maintenence schedule look like? Is the transmission still holding up ok? Are they hwy or city miles?
Im asking because if I can mimic what you are doing, maybe mine will last that long![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
EDIT: Nm.. I just saw you bought the car recently.

Sooooo not true. Mine is a damn lemon:
*New Engine, used with 40-50k miles (wish I knew then what I know now, it'd be TT...)
*New Trans (used, 70k miles)
*THIRD A/C Compressor amongst numerous other A/C parts (hella expensive, but finally figured out THAT problem...)
*"New" (off a wreck) Rack-and-Pinion
*Yada-yada-yada... bunches-o-other stuff.
Oh, I'm the 2nd owner and currently sittin' pretty at 184,000.

I should've clarified that SC400's last that long.

cases I've ever read or heard about were SC300's. I don't think a Lexus V8 has ever been blown. If so, it is an extremely rare case.
As far as other problems,...of course other things will need replacing. This is true with any car that lasts long enough.
Well, good luck from now on.
