No problem..!

Yes, very sweet.... you can give the sound credit to the 515+ rwhp N/A Engine in that car right now.

Besides the Engine Cover make over, when you look underneath the hood of the Project IS-F, it looks just like stock...
But lots of work & man hours when into making this Engine produce more power than its ever had...

Gas guzzler....Lexus is the only car in its class that doesn't have a gas guzzler tax. 5.7 liter would throw that out the window

Anybody heard from Five-Axis lately? Seems like they had a lot of things in the making and then just disappeared. I'm assuming the 5.8L NA engine was never an option, but I assumed they'd have maybe some simple bolt ons or maybe some aero/body parts to spice things up a bit. Not that I need to add any more items to my already long list of mods to buy. But I would definitely like to see some Five Axis products.
