Default Junking the turbo sc

Who wants it? The head gasket blew out a couple weeks ago on the right side and dumped all the oil. I dont have time to mess with it anymore because of a couple new businesses I've started, and I just need the cash up front to keep going. (ahh the wonders of being self employed :-/ )

It ran until that happened. I parked it at that point. 76k miles on engine/car, 40k on a 5-speed tranny. toyomoto turbo kit with addl injectors, hks ssq bov, Clutchmasters stage 5 clutch, s-afc, bomex kit, wide wheels pretty new tires, wheel spacers, 3" downpipe, midpipe, full custom exhaust, no cats. No stereo. Passenger seat I gotta put back together, I was recovering them all in white leather (replacing the factory tan) when the engine went, so at this point the passenger seat is apart. I'll let it go for a little bit less if I dont have to sew it back together

I have a few other uninstalled parts I'm selling seperate, but they're going on ebay this week (4 core intercooler, t04x2 turbo, aem, 6-speed jericho, etc) I'll let ya know when they're for sale.

So yes, for a couple months I'll be Lexus'less. By the start of the new year I'll be working away on the new project tho, so stay tuned. LexusTuner.com isn't going to go away for good

Cash offers only, you pick it up. No payment plans. Steven@LexusTuner.com is my email. Or PM me here.

edit: I'm going to move this into classifieds in a bit, I just wanted it to get some traffic first.

edit2: forgot some stuff

Alas, you're finally selling her . Oh well, some lucky bastard will have a fast *** turbo Lexuses at least, right? Good to know you'll still be hangin' around CL though. Are you going to let us in on your next project? IS? GS? SC??

Well for now my project is retirement within the next 24 months.

But I will have another Lexus before too long to work on. I don't even know exactly what yet.

And yes, I'm around here all the time....but I'm lurking. I don't post much anymore.

Would it be ok if it was a SC330?

Hmm, make sure there's aftermarket support for that V6 before you splurge! 260bhp and 31mpg is a very good platform to build on, unfortunately it's going to be an aluminum block (not as strong as the 2JZ)...

Yeah, just like the 1UZ-FE(aluminum). Not as strong as the iron block 2JZ-GTE(GE).
