Back with the Jap
Back with the Jap
25-08-2019, 10:48 AM
Well after a slight indiscretion with a very high maintenance German sort, I've decided that it's time to return to my comfort zone in the Jap fold.
I thought about the new GS430...but didn't like the interior
I thought about the old GS430...but it isn't the prettiest of cars
I thought about the LS430...but all of the good ones were way to far away
I thought about the RX300..but it didn't do anything for me.
So in the end I got this.....

el_bandido do not put coilovers on it.
Nah its staying 99% stock tbh. I may throw some nice wheels on it (if i can find some), get a suspension controller if they do them for the LS460 and maybe...just maybe make the exhaust a tiny bit more throaty. But thats pretty much it.

lol!
I saw one on eBay the other day with massive front-end damage and wondered how the driver had done it with all of the LS460's driver aids!
That was until I drove one for the first time yesterday and realised that there's so many buttons, displays and messages that he was probably fiddling with those.

Had a go in an LS at an open road event last year and was amazed at how quiet it is inside. Should be quite a change from the AMG though!

Indeedy mate, and also quite chuffed that I got both sets of the wireless headphones with it too.
Car has 1 previous owner which was a company, and they never went outside Lexus for anything. It has the most massive stack of receipts and history
It's worlds apart from the AMG, but I really can't say that I ever bonded with that car for some reason. I think mostly because the whole idea of having 500bhp in a road car is great in theory, but not so much so in practice. And even less so when family are involved.
