Its the shorter quicksilver shifter, B+M only makes two shifters, one is 10" and one is 12". It looks shorter due tot he 6 speed shift ****, it's much shorter than the stock GS ****.

You got any pics of the lock solenoids on your booster? It's something I've also been looking at adding to my car recently and would love to see the solenoid installation under the hood.

I assume you're still running the stock GS Nitrogen booster or did you switch to the Avalon Vacuum booster like AMSMIKE has done and made a DIY thread for?

Looks good, your car has been built and rebuilt so many times glad to see your still plugging along on it!
Are you talking about the line lock installation? Darin installed that from DD Tuning, I'll have to get some pics up.

Yea I've ben through allot with this car over the past 6 years, this is by far the best setup, I'm running 35 psi daily on E85 so it's a blast to drive around as my daily.

A few pics of the Lexus, Darin and I dyno'd the other day and made just under 600 to the wheels with a high stall torque converter, which equates to about 900 at the crankshaft. (High stalls really screw up a dyno number. We were at 98% duty cycle with 1200cc injectors at 50 psi static pressure (900HP worth of fuel)

I really love this car. Such a nice daily driver that is fun as hell to beat down sports cars with, the expressions on peoples faces is priceless. Saturdaqy night there was a new Challanger SRT with an obnoxious exhaust next to me, the race lasted about 3 seconds lol.

I like the old school Blitz 03's. My favorite wheel since seeing it back in 98 or so.

3500 Stall, I think the name brand of the conveter is pro torque, it came with the SP400 stag III kit. There is a SP400 kit for sale on Supraforums right now for a good price. A guy names Hooper is selling it.

Just went 11.86 @ 118.7 tonight running 10.2 :1 Air Fuel and bogging all the way down the track. Will be back for that 10 Second slip soon! In 3rd gear you can really hear the motor bogging down, at least I can. I leaned it out today and judging from the way my tires are spinning it's making much more power now. Last week I ran 123 MPH so the tune was off last night.

I forgot the camera was running and was just talking out loud.

I just noticed I let off the throttle about 2 seconds before the win light came on, you can see the light to the right, it activates when the first person crosses the line. Haven't been to the track in awhile.

The hood scoop looks fine. The rest of the car looks awesome! I too wish I had that engine. Looking badass.

Thank you. It was my goal to build a 4 door sleeper that runs 10's in the 1/4 mile. I'm just about to hit that goal. I really love this car, I have the means to buy a GTR or CTSV but I can't bring myself to do it, this Lexus has been a 6 year project and it's one of a kind. I love it as a daily driver, the car is so fast on the street with E85.
