You're too fast Jeff.

Here's a big hint.










Here's the Hauler driver about to drive my car on to the lift.





I promise not to tease too long. So first correct guess where my car is headed and I'll provide more details.

The driver actually told me that he just dropped off 6 ISF's at Laguna Seca, right before arriving.

There will be ANOTHER VIP test drive at the track on Wednesday.

This time they won't be giving rides, but actually allowing a certain CL member and others to drive the ISF on the famed Laguna Seca race track.

It's not me, but you will surely see his report published some time in the very near future.

I'm sworn to secrecy on that one, but you'll all find out soon enough.

Hey Cliff,
ya should of seen the look on my "NOSEY" neighbors face across the street from me.

Doesn't every neighborhood have one of them?

Anyway, this guy must be retired or something cuz all he does is look out his window day and night and stare at me or my wifie driving one of our Lexi in and out of the garage. We just moved here 2 months ago, so we haven't met him, but I heard from others that he was asking info about us. Geeze. !

My wife saw him looking out his window as the big rig pulled up.

I talked to the driver a while and he asked me to pop my hood before he rolled it into the trailer. Wouldn't ya know within a minute my neighbor found an excuse to go out and get his mail.

Just when I saw him walk near behind me on the sidewalk, I quickly slammed my hood shut.

He didn't come up to me, but just kept walking towards his mail box.

I really loved messin with him.

He really set himself up for that one.

Anyway, I'll see if he tries that again when the car retuns next week from it's little trip.

Are you taking the car to SEMA in LV?
I was gonna head there myself, but I'm about to install my new engine, tranny, and turbo so I don't have time now. I guess it sucks that I won't be able to go, but on the upside I'm on my way to 700hp

And the WINNER IS . . .



Yes the car is going to SEMA.

I was very fortunate and honored to be invited by Lexus to put my car on display along with I’m sure some other member cars TBA.

With Toyota being the Key Sponsor of SEMA this year, it looks like they are pulling out all the stops. I have heard there will be about 70 cars representing Toyota, Lexus & Scion at the event. Also for those who don’t know, all SEMA attendees will be able to test drive the ISF on a closed course at the show.

I‘m just happy to represent Lexus and CL. With all the hot show quality cars at SEMA, it becomes very hard to feel worthy to display my semi-daily driven car.

My invite came with a months notice, otherwise I would of tried to step up the mods a bit.

I was able to get my new AP Racing 6 piston / 4 piston custom set up installed in time. For something on the scale of SEMA, ya really gotta go 4 corner BBK.

For more info and pics on the AP Racing Brakes, see this thread
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...=1#post3007481

Here’s a few shots.




I cleaned up the engine and polished up all the aluminum pieces as best I could.








For more info about the recent Dyno Numbers for this engine, see this thread:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=314331


I ‘m waiting anxiously to see what other CL members are representing at SEMA.




I recently compiled a "small" list of mods for my nephew who lives out of the country, and just got into modding, but hasn't seen all of my previous work.


I thought I'd add that same list here for those who are interested (LINKS FIXED:
