is it wrong that my take away from this post is the steel wheels and bumper?

Not at all, I like how it looks too. I just need to convince him to add another inch lift up front.

Tested my brothers LC200 with a Harrop Supercharger with the big pully, Nasty.

Don't have hp numbers or boost PSI info, unfortunately!.

*The speedometer is in KM, not miles, it's not that fast

I really dig that bumper!

Another inch to level out the rake would be perfect.

Has he tuned it yet? I haven’t been able to get any tuning support on the 5.7 here in the states yet. Limits the supercharger quite a bit.

Yes tuned, of course, the Harrop kit requires a tune, unlike the TRD/Magnesoon supercharger which is a direct bolt-on.

Vivid Racing has a tune over there, and I'm sure you can find many other tuners over there. You guys have all the tech and smarts!

I haven’t been on mud in forever. Here’s my 200. I’ll do a build thread one day.

Congrats, and great idea to baseline fluids, etc., unless you can personally verify it was done recently and not needed.

Let me know how the brakes feel afterwards.

I'm a first-time LC owner (a/o a month ago) and am learning/experiencing that the OEM brakes may be naturally soft. If so, then what's nominal vs non-nominal soft, I wonder? Mine had new front pads, calipers, rotors and brake flush/fill when I bought it...plus the rears (pads/rotors) were done about 20-30K ago...still seem soft to me. Again, being new to the LCs, not sure if this is normal. Thinking about going with stainless steel lines (many threads on this) in hopes of getting firmer brakes, but not sure if will really do the trick.

So I had her checked out today. Soft brakes just needed a flush. Oil was good as was air filters. They recommended plugs, coolant flush and both diffs which is about what I was expecting. Oh and PS fluid too. Very pleased for an 08 with 135k bought site unseen. Still a little nervous about the radiator but let me swallow this bill and the shipping bill and I’l get that done.

Really strutting her stuff with that leg out. What's your suspension setup in the rear? Wonder if those have extended shocks/travel.

You can continue to dodge the question but your unwillingness to provide any details about it makes your chrome badge as trashy as a body kit on a 4-banger civic.

The 3UR and FI is notorious for issues - particularly in the 200 platform. There are numerous folks on here who have tried/owned one and had reoccurring problems. Moreover - there are numerous folks on here who would like to know more about what S/C options may exist.

For now - its a $3 Pep Boys accessory isle special.

If you didn't know, there is a version of the LX570 that comes with a supercharger, it is\was only offered in the Middle East. 450hp

That's great to hear and thanks for following up. Perhaps the flush on mine right before I bought it didn't get all the air bubbles out. Will try that route first before anything more substantial.

Enjoy the rig.

Did not. Not in the US though.

Shipping container changes things. As you can tell, these weren’t taken in Qatar. My “pep boys body kit” you speak of is actually a factory Lexus package consisting of a front lip, rear diffuser, fog light bezels, honeycomb grill and special taillights offered only on the factory Lexus supercharger model.

What’s available in your market may differ as opposed to another market. These cruisers are offered in so many different trims depending on the region they’re sold in. But then again maybe lexus’ engineering department worked hand in hand with the pep boys marketing team in designing the LX570 Supercharger edition, lol.

 

[eatSleepWoof]

So... group buy OEM Supercharger, anyone?

 

[HODGES]

It’s the Icon/Skinky long travel with some other stuff added. Icon coils with remote resis, slinky long travel coils, trail tailor panhard, Metal tech upper/lower links, extended break lines and bump stops.

And where is the engine bay shot?

Nice plastic. BMW sells M plastic and MB sells AMG plastic for their 4 cylinder “sport packages”.

Based on your post history of unfortunate botched high mileage purchases and an accident where you admitted to only having the badging installed, I called BS on anything other than an aftermarket “CAI”, if that, is under the hood.

That LX was a facelifted 2010 and was totaled when someone ran a red light. I don't believe in high mileage when it comes to LC/LX's.

Your lack of tact is only exceeded by your overt bitterness. I don't see any point in replying to you anymore.

Sorry you feel the need to roll around with fake S/C badging. A TRD sticker is one thing, not having a S/C is another.

I'll say it again- I don't believe in high mileage being a negative when it comes to cruisers.

These body kits r common in few markets. Hell I saw a few supercharged and turbocharged stickers LC/LX570 with body trims in Kabul.

You sure it wasn't a "Type S" badge off a corolla on there in Kabul
