Don't get me wrong buddies, alignment was close to $50.00 at one place and the stiching was in a different place, all of you come and theres no need for any of us to get raped at Lexus, so please come. NY is a very resourceful place, it's all a matter of looking and having friends all around. If you guy's read my old.... old.. threads for when i had my old Lex u would know that i threaded the same thing about the armrest, come on guys and get it done, all i charge is a sick pack...

Car looks great Rob! Keep up the good work!

Oh, BTW send me a PM after you get your car dyno'd and tuned. I am curious as to the power you're making...from there I want to ask you how your tranny is shifting. My only concern with installing my SC kit is if the tranny can hold the power OK. If you tell me you are making say, 375whp and the tranny shifts fine then I will probably try to set mine up for the same power levels to play it safe.

I am not sure if you saw the current thread started that deals with how much power our trannys can hold. LMK...thanks!

Thanks for the comment and as you know i have a Seabiscuit in my hands, i'm trying to get the tiniest detail back to original or even better. As far as the tranny is concerned it shifts very smooth, Remember the tranny (soft rebuild) was also modified to sustain the power.

I think soft rebuild just entails the torque converter and valve body upgrade. I wish you knew exactly what was done to it. When I hear "soft rebuild" I think the tranny wasn't "all out" modified; which makes me a little happy because then it's less money that I will have to spend to make my car safe at those power levels. Good work

This reminds me of JeffTsai's thread...

I've been looking for a solution as well. My trans is definitely on borrowed time.
