Oh by the way Blitz,where can I find those VIP car books?Which stores in Little Tokyo have them and is there any other place to get them other than little tokyo?

I do not want to go to L.A just for magazines,but if that is the only place then I have to make the drive.

It is all depends on the engine and the working man hours. If you need some additional parts or special trims to install the engine, then it is going to be expencive and painful. If its just direct swap, it will take them about a day and cost around $800 - $1000 could be a lil more since its a Lexus.

Well a 2jzgte can be had for about $4500 with less than 10k miles.I just found out last night.

But I wanna know a few things, should stay with a auto tranny thats in the LS right now or swap in a auto from a supra T.T.I dont wanna get a manual like the one AB- Flug Celsior cause thats gunna cost$$$$$$!



So I am gunna attempt this feat!.Gunna start saving right now.No money on lunch or or anything,I will starve at school if I need.I'll keep you guys updated in like 4 or 5 months.


Project Destiny has begun!
