Funny, I thought the Toyota version of the ES was called the Camry.

A VP with my company pulled up to my office driving an ES a few years ago and became borderline incensed when I asked him how long he had his Camry and then proceeded to tell me how it was nothing like a Camry at all.

Kind of explains the windom then. Some were locally available in Australia, (they even made camrys in Australia), so protected against personal/private import I guess. Same for the IS and some LS models, that was what lexus in Australia were selling. If toyota or lexus were selling them here, you couldn't import it, but neither were selling the soarer or sc300/sc400 so a lot of people and dealers privately imported them.

PaintVagrant posted:http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/4891587333.html I did just buy one, although mine is a 1993 and thus a fourth gen, this one is a fifth gen. They share a lot of parts though and mechanically they can be very much identical. In any case I don't typically chase ads where they can't even be hosed to put together some lovely cellphone pics of the actual car.

 http://portland.craigslist.org/clc/cto/4894491454.html Geez, Laguna Blue sure commands a premium - this one if a few mile away from me, and it's a low mileage one owner. If I could ever talk myself into buying an S2K, this would be the one. Too bad that in the last 3 months I've spent 1500 on tires, 1500 on health insurance deductibles, 1000 on Miata work, 5000 on additional taxes, 4000 on furniture and 4000 on course work. And too bad the price is still insane. I can't believe it's been less than a year since I turned down a Suzuka AP2 with 45k(?) miles for $17k, although it needed 2k in work.

 He is right of course. The only way to identify a serious car is if it has a back seat.

slidebite posted:I genuinely thought it was a Camry when he pulled up though, but thanks for your comment, dick. What you said makes sense, the ES250/300/350 looked very much their Camry siblings. Especially the ES250; Lexus panicked when they only had one model at launch and very hastily (like, the design team spent 15 minutes working over a 2nd gen Camry) and that was the result.

That's incredibly peaky and an animal to drive. That's one hell of a nice setup though, I'd drive the poo poo out of it.

VideoTapir posted:That rattle sounds either trivial or worrisome. I'm guessing it's the rough as hell idle from the ginormous cam profile Formula Atlantic engines use combined with solid engine mounts causing the whole car to rattle. Depending on which cams you want, an FA engine at minimum runs 304 degree duration cams and can run as high as 320 degree cams, so there's no way to not have the world's lumpiest idle with that.
