I think this guy is so full of it, I cannot even tell you!!!! Although you have to admit it does look like a nice ride and very very clean 1992 sc400 wouldn't you say? Those rims are sweet but those tires and rims by looking at them are way too small to be racing with that much horsepower and staying with vette's, come on!!!!! Is this guy for real? I don't care if he has two LSD's on that car I don't think so. He needs some bigger rims and drag tires to even consider running with new vette's those babies grip and haul I know from experience. No way that engine by looking at it puts out that much HP even with a 150hp nos shot NO WAY! That motor looks completely stock with a couple of steel braided hoses, man there is just no visual evidence at all to support those claims. However looking at his ebay pofile he is a 100% ebayer for three years except for a recent negative from a faulty product that he bought and received. It's pretty tough to be a shady person and keep that rating for three years running and the volume of transactions I know because I am an ebayer bir time. He also bought a lot of computer stuff and appears to do computer repairs, so he must be some what smart, alot of broken laptops as I can see. Also his history indicates he purchased alot of performance lexus parts as well. Do you think he would buy those parts to resell or somehting or just look at them in his house? You never know people?
Just maybe those could be very outdated pictures of his motor but I have to say he is definetely wrong about the stock transmittion hp capabilities, but hey it could have been a typo or something else maybe.
By the way that picture is about eight months old, and yes that is a 150 nos shot, and you guys should see what that engine looks like today, that was an old old ad that I used to sell my first differential. Did not want to download the new pictures in that ad. You can email me or check my profile for updated pictures of about a month ago. I still have not sold that differential yet is anyone interested it is cluttering up my back yard, I will sell cheap it is a good one at that. Oh and I was terribly mistaken about the transmittion hp claims maybe a typo or I just wasn't paying attention when I wrote the ad and about 25hp or little more on the engine hp at the crank, just excited about my ride. All apology's to whom ever I may have offended and I must say I did, but I would be more than willing to give anyone in the Santa Monica area a test drive and show just how fast my car is, just not in the next two weeks because the car will be under repair during the S&S header installation.
I do have plans for an Air forced Induction (supercharger) maybe, but was hoping to see a real nice friend of mine whom has been the biggest help to me in finding parts, information, and in general in biulding my car. He has a very nice sc400 as well with super rims and plans to biuld an Eaton supercharger runing at around 6 or 7psi. I am afraid though he may be upset with me for these slightly exaggerated claims and recent posts I have made. I am deeply saddened and afraid I will never see hands on experienvce from a real stand up guy who really knows his Lexus stuff.

P.S. I am having a bad day on these Lexus forums, it must be a full moon or something.
