in for this, I definitely can see the vision you have. I almost see this as an open interpretation of a Foose/Boyd Coddington hot rod type build put onto the 2is platform.
That's not a bad desciption. With the exception I'm going to avoid the billed huge barrel look and go with an extreme concave wheel and give it a wide *** full size drift car stance. By stepping out the front out as wide as the back. I should make some more progress on it today and post more pics later.
Not a lot of progress visually. The jam is almost complete and fabled up new linkage for the door handle hopefully I can get the rear body ruffled in on both sides this weekend then it will be onto under the hood and fitting the Gen 3 frontend.
man....such a breath of fresh air here in the 2is community. Cant wait to see the progress this takes on.

Thanks it should start looking like something soon parts are a big hold up. The rims are taking too long so I bought some 22x11+15 Lorenzo WL197 for now because they were in stock and only $500 for the set new in the box. I'm waiting to hear back from some sources about getting lower compression pistons made or if I'm going to have to space this head. Spacing the head is going to get tricky because with the current displacement I only need a little over 2.5mm for an 8:1 compression ration which is a bit small. The other option is a short connecting rod provided a have enough cylinder wall. So until I'm confident I can get the compression down on this engine I don't want to order the turbos. If any of you can source this of have any info on performance internals for the is engine please let me know I'm too busy right now to source this stuff.
I'd start with CP; they might have researched and spec'd out pistons for the IS250/350 since they have IS-F pistons in production. But of course, any IS250/350 variation never made it to market because there is zero demand for them.
Any company you know of that can create custom thicker head gaskets to further help lower the CR?
