What does Veeky Forums think of the LS400?

I'm considering buying one for my next car.

mine

Do it. Then straight pipes and ITBs. And then soundproofing to get the comfiness back.

Is this a different gen ls400 or whats up with the different front? (Compared to op pic)

I swear I cant find anything else than the OP image here in Swedan.

Just bought one.

Best car op

do it and make allah proud

also the one you posted is a Zenki UCF20,

is a Kouki UCF20

Theres also a UCF10 which looks similar to a zenki,

zenki is 95-97 and kouki is 98 onwards until ucf30

if im no mistaken desu

How do these drive compared to a nee shitbix like a fiesta?

Go for it.

See if you can get into a 430. I have one. Japan's best.

A+

Timing belt + interference engine = ticking time bomb

dont maintain engine = ticking time bomb

HMM

so change the fucking belt?

That's too hard for her, apparently

I don't believe so. I think after that Gen they went to ls450, 420 or whatever

>only takes premium gas

Don't do it - maintenance will bite you

that's the facelifted ls400, 98-00
upgraded 1UZ and newer transmission with newer electronics and stuff like that

I really do like them. I'm a fan of 90s car design that wasn't American.

Don't do this unless you're retarded.

UCF20 II. There are 2 major revisions of the LS400 and each got a mid cycle refresh.

Any car has the potential for things to break. If you can't get over 20 mpg with the LS400 properly maintained learn to drive instead of racing to every light and trying to launch the car.

Maintain your timing belt and it'll be fine. Or get the early LS400 that didn't have interference engine.
