Anthony's Pukekohe Ultra-Lexus-Lux

Post by GOOSENZ »

well i bought my lexus here in nz for $200 and rebuilt it and only spent $500 on rebuilding it. i have put bigger valves in and power flowed the heads and exhaust the bolt to the heads the way they do it is but getting rid of all the sharp bits out of the exhausts as using standard headers that came with the motor. the truck is still getting built . the way to get the 44inch tyres on is to left the body and then give the truck a 7 to 15inch lift by getting long spring hangers and putting 2 inch blocks between the spings and diffs. the next step will be to get 3 to 4 inch lift kit springs or you can get 7 inch lift kit springs from the USA. im running a hilux surf 3.4 V6 auto behind my lexus. if you guys leave me a email address i can send you some picture of the hilux that has been done the same as mine and send you pictures of my hilux in the building process

Anthony, why not start a thread showing us the pics of your work in progress?
