Welcome to the club Lewis, there;s a meet arranged for april, see my sig below. There are no mods to give worthwhile gains engine wise, but you can get other mods easily.

front sport grille, different bumpers, hid kits ect.

Cheers again mate got a few ideas of what's gunna happen to her like a conversion and superchargeing etc but we will see what Time brings

[IHgs300]

Are you building your own supercharger kit? The tte ones,if you can find one are fetching £2000 plus.

[lewis gibbo]

I'm not sure what route I'm going down yet I no i want the 300 engine but i dont know whether to supercharge or turbocharge I'd like to supercharge but i know there like rocking horse #*## to get hold of but on the other hand I dont know if i can be bothered to change all the internals for the turbo lol

Hello and welcome to the LOC.

I spend a bit of time up your way when working for ENW.

Don't mess about with chargers simply shoe horn the 4.0L V8 from it's big brother :)

[lewis gibbo]

Is it a straight swap? I'm missin the power of my old car but you honestly can't beat a good lexus haha

[steve2006]

Not exactly a straight drop in and go, the LS400 are all automatics but can be converted to a manual box using one from a Toyota Supra IIRC.

Then you can stick an Eaton SC on top and the NOX cylinder in the boot :)

Something like this perhaps.

[lewis gibbo]

Would it be easier to keep it automatic? Yea i deffonatly want that under my bonnet haha what would I need to change?
