    I Need to buy/borrow/rent a exhaust for a LS400/celsior to clear a defect notice.

    I recently got a defect on my celsior for being too loud and even though I've fixed the aftermarket exhaust so that it is under the 90.8 Db limit the RTA mechanic only tells me on the second test that it has to be the factory exhaust for it too pass unless I get a engineers report for the...

    Wide body VIP LS400

    Yeah this one started with a Junction produce wide body kit and has had a hell of a lot of custom work done to it, have you noticed that the entire body/skirts/qtrs/guards/pillars/roof are all one piece? and those flares are not from a body kit they have been crafted from custom rolled steel...

    Wide body VIP LS400

    I bought it off the importer who brought it over from japan. It's got all the usual goodies.

    Car of Choice for 1UZFE Swap

    A normal ford boat anchor is fine for normal f100 but It's not your normal run of the mill f100(it only weighs 1,550kg's at the moment), it's bagged with 22 " wheels, will have a body drop and massive amounts of body work, and the motor won't be either, it'll be a vvti 1uz(upgraded internals)...

    1UZFE Block with 2UZFE Heads

    So is the answer yes you can use 2uz heads on a 1uz block? as long as you have a method of controling the advance/retard on the cams? as i have a pair of vvt-i gs400 heads and manifold which i was going to use on a vvt-i motor, but i have since found out that the vvt-i's have the weaker rods so...
