The Trans got here today. So hopefully between customer cars we will be able to start working on it.

The car only has 8000 miles on it. It Dynoed at around 250whp how we got it. Intake, and Exhaust thats it as far as mods. I am assuming the Auto trans is killing power. We will dyno it again with the stick and see what the difference is. Then work on building Hp. I will post a comparison of dyno sheets once we do that as well.

Yeah clearly that is the point of Lexus painting it Orange. But we are contemplating painting it another color eventually. We are working on the stick conversion at the moment.
