Also, here in MN there is a cruise every Saturday. We will be attending the next one this weekend. So we will record and try to capture more cars. It was a lot of fun.
I had some good news this week. No new vids as we discussed at the shop more business. We will soon announce our local fabricator working now with 507GARAGE. He will be getting the car end of next week to fab the dry sump, chassis-mounted wing, weld on -20AN bungs and -24 AN for the dry break as our fuel hanger is a -24AN
Also, our fittings sponsor Oetiker (formerly known as JiffyTite) is behind the project as we push to get this car running.
example of their quick zero to minimal leak fittings. I like these better.
So upcoming we will be pushing more fab work and dropping the engine on to get a nice transmission mount made for the 2jz to BMW transmission. It will be a lot of fun to get that done. Get the measurement for the driveshaft make it and make sure everything fits. This will allow us to have a full Kit that will allow 2JZ, UZ engine owner of 1st and 2nd gen GS a full system. They would just purchase it from us at 507GARAGE and all the person would need to source will be the BMW manual transmission.
Look forward to these Teo GS’s running these soon . 1st Gen Lexus GS will get some love as it has been requested many times. 2 GS will have a bit more manual swap options too.
Now we have both the RWD and AWD GS6 transmission in the shop. So we now will start fabrication of parts for the shop cars to sport these BMW transmission for testing before we start to produce them and add them to the BMW transmission to 1jz/2jz, and 1U/2U/3UZ kits.
We received a box from one of our sponsors Oetiker (Jiffy-Tite). The box contains all the fittings to allow us to get our fuel cell plumbing done. I am excited to get this done. We made an unboxing video to talk a bit more about the fittings and the company a little bit.

I'm looking forward to seeing how you mount this into the car and fabricate a trans mount. I've been wanting to manual swap but I want a trans thats stronger than the R154 since it seems weak for the price. Please comment on trans tunnel clearance as well as if the shifter fits into the stock location. On the Grannas racing T56 magnum swap, he made a custom adapter to make the shifter align with the factory hole. Will you be selling a trans mount on your site if this all goes smoothly? It looks like the kit that you're selling includes the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and bell housing adapter only. If the trans mount isn't too expensive and the shifter lines up, it looks like this is another good aftermarket manual trans option if it can hold power. Especially cost wise compared to a T56 magnum swap.

Once we have the transmission mount figured out we will have a mount for sale along with the kit. This transmission holds power, so there is no question about that. Some examples below. This adapter is mainly used in the UK, Poland, and pretty much outside the US. As out there they dint have the CD009 option from Nissan and they have a ton of German cars. So they started using those transmissions to convert their vehicles.>
These hold power well, no issues there. I get my adapter/clutch kit tomorrow 5/20/2020. So I am excited about that
We are working on putting together a full kit, so for those who want to buy the transmission mount can purchase that "a la carte" with their adapter kit.. These adapter kits folks with BMW's tend to use them the most on their BMW's. We will be the first to run it on a Lexus/Toyota. A brand outside the BMW German platform. So we are excited to put this together this weekend. Setting up the shifter in these is so much easier that with a R154. So as we get the proper length of the shifter linkage we will also have that item for sale for the 2nd Gen GS3/GS4. As well as for the 1st Gen GS3. We have several 1st and 2nd gen LS400's IS300's 1st gen lined up for this as well so we can expand the kit to those platforms as well.
This week I received more additional parts, received the Adamat Motorsport Adapter/Clutch/Flywheel Kit. Made a small unboxing video for that as well for the Ignition Projects HEXA PAC Coils.
yes I keep adding more **** instead of shutting down my wallet. I stay on my IG and than this. I am really trying to make an effort to post here. I wish adding pictures was much simpler.
I am working on making my own splitter /lip and canards. I have been documenting it via YouTube. So I will try to post here more
.
car is scheduled to go in for paint. So in the meantime I need to get all things ready. Brackets for fire suppression, air Jack system brackets need to be welded on. I am just getting things so I can then take them off and send the car to paint.
I apologize to those whom check the car out here. I again will try to post more here. If you are interested and want to check the YouTube channel and IG they are on my signature.
I'm sure you already watch them but if not check out the street bandito youtube channel. They swapped every body panel on their 280Z in 100% carbon with full track aero.
