Looks great. I will be starting my swap in the near future. I have all the parts except the rubber boot that goes under the leather shifter boot. Looking forward to your comprehensive write up.

The little details I was referring to was stuff like cleaning up the stereo wire we had to move, flanging out the cover over the output shaft, cutting the brake pedal, putting some trim in, the little stuff. Yesterday was just a make sure it runs day, and it does! Thank you Matt, Jake, Sean, Orin, Leko, and everyone else that helped make this swap a reality! You guys at Club Lexus are not only my forum friends but some of my best real friends. Thank you!

Glad to see you guys actually got the car done Taylor. Can't wait to see this beast on sunday for the meet. I just love the fact that I get to see all these 5 speed 1UZ's almost every other week. I will have to do this one day....but that day is a looooonnnnggg ways from happening for me....haha.

Unfortunately, the remedy to remove the bulb is not going to work for us Californian's due to the smog check. Tech's still hookup to OBDII port . Yeah we all know its not a smog issue that affects the environment but we need no CEL. I don't want to fork out 200-300 to get it pass illegally every 2 years either :\. Hope someone can figure it out. I'd like to but I don't have the resource and tools just like you guys have over there. I'm usually a 1 man team working on my car alone.

Well, I guess with 97+, having a CEL means you have a error code somewhere and california smog guys will not pass your car. Someone had posted it. Found it below.....
