my mate just had his mapped on low boost at 400bhp roughly at 1 bar of boost. sounds immense even without giving it full abuse.

I always thought it was a lexus soarer and the toyota had a different name Nic. Obv not but I always remember an asian guy at school always used to turn up in one, it was flip painted and on those 3 spoke jap wheels you get. Not too bad tbh, always quite liked them

In 2005, following the introduction of Lexus in Japan, the Soarer name and emblem were discontinued and the Z40 became the Lexus SC 430 in common with worldwide markets.

Sounds pretty good! Doesn't this have the older Supra engine 1JZ?

That does sound awesome. Love the sound of straight 6 turbo motors, the big massive woosh they give off when they come on boost.
Take it its had a single turbo conversion??
The Lexus equivilent is the SC400, and didn't come with the 2.5 straight 6. Pretty much the same car though. Guy at the local indian take-away has 1.

yeah its got a t4 varient on it. will try get a pic today. it needs the front end put back together though. one of the best sounding cars ive ever been in. its actually better than the video sounds in real life. thats not even a full throttle or full rpm drive. its gonna be quite something when fuel pumps are done and full boost mapped.
