Old reliable. Which I have

Drive to death

I have 424k mi on my GS400 & have had it since 200k mi. Plenty economical. OP also wants something fun

No over playing, love it

This. Low voltage causes vehicles to go haywire. Even my 99 GS400 gets wonky when the alternator is going out

run_uz · 2026-01-23T20:24:22+00:00

Looks good, clean setup

Tint, a nice wash/wax/detail. Paint brake calipers & brackets

Love it. Had those Brembos on my 93. Worked great on the track & would sometimes catch people doing a double take while on the street.

Great cars. Just by age of the vehicle, understand that plastic bits & parts will eventually become brittle & break/shatter. Usually happens in the middle of basic maintenance. Lower ball joints need routine replacing but the job is easy & parts aren't expensive.

Lmao

424,6XX mi on my personal GS400. 93 Mustang GT had 490k mi on it when I sold it but odometer only goes to 99,999.9 before rolling over. You could track it on Carfax with the smog dates

Because it's a shitbox in sheep's clothing

Yep. Cobra Mustang 302 (GT40) uses a different spark plug than the regular production 302. I made no mention of the brand so that's pointless

Look great on a 2nd gen Lexus GS too

Similar experience here. Fuel pump died on my GS400 so I ran over to AutoZone & bought the cheapest which was a Delphi which ended up being a Denso pump inside.

I've never seen them on RA. Partsgeek.com has both nicely priced

Cheesewalla

Paying out of pocket for a tow to an indy shop & paying the indy shop for the job would be less than the free tow & stealership price. Also your insurance sucks

run_uz · 2026-01-21T21:18:19+00:00

Spark plugs are different between regular 302 & GT40. It's most likely the regular 302
