I had a feeling his videos would end up being trademarked so I saved a few Gen 4 videos if anyone needs them. Not sure if it's allowed to be shared on here.

Viktor in the Chat Forum on Club Lexus asked people to send copies of any videos that they made to him so that he can edit out any Lexus badging and repost.

I copied the videos posted by a member earlier so hopefully these can be uploaded to his new YouTube channel soon. Most of the work is pretty straightforward, but it is nice to see someone do the job and follow correctly. Plugs look easy but there is always one wire, or one hose that shows up at the end that seems to not have a place to go. I like also that he often posts a sheet of paper at the start of the video with the part numbers....very helpful.

Later edit, contact made.

Full backup is available, 320 videos about ~43GB, but I don't know how to reach Viktor. He left no contact information on youtube about page or reddit (email isn't verified).
I will wait for his contact for a few more days, If not maybe all should go to internet archive, otherwise it will be a shame to have a resource like this lost.
