Looking at the T56 platform right now. We are not sure of the exact direction were going with the transmission just yet, but im confident that the 8 speed isn't going to be ideal. My focus at this point is to get the motor done and tuned on an engine dyno. After that well work on the rest of the powertrain.

Are you turning wrenches on this project yourself, are you having a separate shop do it all, or a combination of both? I am assuming that's you in the pictures, and it certainly looks like you're getting down and dirty yourself. That's even more impressive!

After it is all said and done you should take it to your Lexus dealership complaining that your car is "not running right". Tell them you want to take one of their techs for a drive to show them whats going on. Then proceeded to make the man wet his pants when you step on it.

watching this one. Seems like the real modding on these cars is just beginning.

We also came across some things with the sikky header design that im thinking about making public and correcting with a few sets of my own. Only time will tell though.

Is that why your sikky headers are for sale?? If you do not mind sharing what you found that would be great. Im sure we all would like to know.

No, they were for sale because I have no further use for them. The issue that I found is actually not a big deal and quite common with headers. I just know that a far superior product can be created that the community would benefit from.
