1) It’s thrashed – I skid it, I slide it, I take it up the mountains, I race it.

2) I’ve pulled most of the trim out + air con.

3) It’s too low - 15,000kay old Racing Logics coilovers.

4) It won’t pass a RWC.

5) It’s in undercoat.

This is a genuine Australian delivered Lexus, plates do not come with the car, $2700 on a new gearbox, $1000 on new radiator, $1100 on new water pump, pulleys and major service, lots of misc things like o2 sensors replace and so forth done, mechanically you can not fault, despite how I treat it.

The guards have also been hand flared roughly 2 inch’s.

$12,500 or swap for something humorous?

Book value at dealers is still mid to high teens. I was offered $8k on a trade in, if I put the trim back in, but the mark up on the GS300 I was looking at was huge, hence the high trade in price. It’s a Lexus, not a Celsior as well… The only reason why it wouldn’t get a LEGAL RWC is as follows;

Too low, coilover travel does not meet legal requirements, no cats, too loud need to put rear trim back in, and tires are debatable. Technically need to change the color of the car on the transport data base to match rego sticker..

I can get a RWC, but I wont, as some p plater shit head will go get him self defected, then I have to deal with stupid parents having a whinge. I never said the car came with rego..

It’ll be sold as is, unless other wise negotiated.

    • Listening to an artist called "the flashbulb". Not bad. Makes some fairly well researched youtube vids in various things.
    • Is actually easier than you might think. Assuming you have a spot, youfab up the branch, then just hang a longer than you can fit length of pipe down from there, and chop bits off piece by piece and decde which length was the quietest/nicest, then just put that length up in the place where it will fit. Clever folk can actually make like a trombone slide type arrangement so you can just play it like an instrument to find the best length.
