Show off! :D

Unregistered_User · April 10, 2007

Just a quick question, what model is this? Or, if it's an IS, what engine work has been done?

http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/alb...430_1.sized.jpg

On mine so far, I've fitted a JDM antenna, LE grille, rear Cusco upper brace and some carbon engine covers. However, I do have some other bits lying around waiting for D-Day :D

that is the one and only original IS430 as built by TTE, and was under the care of me at the show, i had previously driven the car in germany a few years earlier

its a 4.3

Unregistered_User · April 10, 2007

"Original" - so I gather there were replicas made afterwards? Was the car two-tone like this at some point?

yep, mine was the first UK car to be Officially supercharged, (there were 5 LGB cars supercharged as test cars but only 1 remains)

regards TTE i have known them for a few years and got involved with them more when i was in Germany, very good friends with a few of the guys there now

Was the IS430 created as a possible production car or was it just for fun?

Kazi · April 10, 2007

Mines had one or two extras.....not no where near as much as the monsters.... :P
