ModsByMax E85 ethanol analyzer mount kit installed, as well as a 3rd O2 Sensor, and a vacuum sensor installed for the ECB-1 Gauge. Wanted a super unintrusive install. Power is from the 12v cigarette lighter port, and I ran one 8 conductor sleeved wire through the firewall. Connectors on both ends so all that needs to be done is unplug and remove. Gauge is installed in the center console tray organizer. The only permanent modifications made to the car are the SRS module plastic cover in the bottom of the center console, which is like 4$ from Lexus, and the fuse box lid, again like $30 from Lexus. Super easy to revert if needed.
the ECB-1 has an output wire for ethanol content, so when VF releases their ethanol over can module, all I have to do is wire it up. Super easy.
hopefully I’ll be the very first stock ECU Lexus to be running a true flex fuel tune. Loi is the goat!

Got some new OEM style push button fittings from Improved Racing, and sleeved the hoses. Looks a lot more OEM now.

JDM spec RCF shift **** installed in the LE.
no USDM RCF shift ***** come with white/gray stitching to match the Alcantara interior, so we had to get creative.

Just picked up these OEM RCF wheels. what are people doing for the wheel bolts? These wheels have a flat lug seat. OEM lugs are a round seat, and the lugs I got with the ****** spacers have a round seat adopter, not sure what’s underneath the adapter. edit: it keeps censoring bo-no-ss spacers for some reason. Not sure why.
I found a guy in ebay selling titanium stud sets I'm going to convert too, just run your lug from there.

Picked up this PPE midpipe for an absolute steal. Couldn’t help myself.
going to have another o2 bung welded on, as I have an ECB-1 Ethanol and afr gauge on the way. I want to be the very first stock ecu Lexus to have a true flex fuel tune. Matthew Wilson of VF and Loi are cooking it up right now.
im going to be installing the gauge into the center console tray I have. I want the install to be completely un-intrusive.
Gonna pair with the borla axle back.

it’s phenomenal. Quality is superb. Only thing I did was weld a 3rd bung on it for my AFR gauge. Love my PPE exhaust.
