 It's in the thread...but here is one, and I will take a few of it this weekend, since there have been a few changes since this pic...

That engine is being balanced and blue-printed as I write this reply...If time permits, and the fuel mod comes in for the eight additional injectors, then sometime in late December...If not, then in January 2007. Along with the new tranny...

Well guys, haven't had time to post much lately...Been real busy...


The engine should be done any day, the transmission should be done any day, and the paint will commence after the Lexus meet next weekend. 


I was going back and forth on what to do about the excessive heat being produced in my engine compartment...When you turbo in the engine bay, the heat created is tremendous, so it needs to be vented...But, I have not seen one vented, CF hood that I really like. Nor, am I excited about installing a CF hood...They require hood pins to be safe, they are too light for the stock hood struts, and they tend to yellow and crack from the heat...I know I could paint the CF black, but I am still not excited...So, I searched and searched, and I found two vents that are a perfect match for my project...They will be integrated right into the stock hood...Man, are they gorgeous...Wish I could have this all done by the Lexus meet...But I tell you this, my goal to make a SuperCar Luxury Exotic SC400 is panning out!!! These vents are awesome...And there is no other Lexus out there that will look like mine...    


Damn, this is exciting!! Black, chrome and polished billet for the exterior of this car...The Black Knight... 


Soon to be tuned...Unique...One-of-a Kind...


Yeah!!!!
