Car details
2008 Lexus ISF 212 Black


purchased the car at the auctions as a total loss due to water damage in the interior

the car is now currently stripped and ready for roll cage





quickly went about stripping the interior read for roll caging

taking out the BS on the behind the dash





how she stands after the stripping





at my mates shop getting the cage welded and fitted
its actually a custom cage taking alot of design layout from the CCS-R car


rear X bar
small update


cut the dash up the fit it behind the cage

modded the front bar for bigger cooling capacity

stripped the front panels for more weight shedding to be had



Cleaning up the chassis

wont be using the bar that came with the car
got alot of stuff that we can use for my road car for spares

 

Bloody buggered after that 6 hours of cutting


Rear Doors

front doors

Final Result

As for weight saving
Front doors with no trims is 29.20KG
after gutting it out and cutting the panels off we got it down to 19.7KG
Rear doors here 20.20KG
after gutting and cutting 15KG on the dot

Tried fitting back the wiring for the last few nights
all i can say is FXXK this lol but i must press on


Oh and over the weekend thanks to Shane aka gorilla test fittted some TE37's



sadly the Te's were too big and agressive and deicded to go witha nother set of wheels


Sparco circuit and Sparco suede steering wheel




Yeap thats right
OS Giken LSD for ISF
thanks to FIGs we have LSD!

so got the car back from the painters






started to put the car back together

we will be running the penske set up and all control arms from figs and novel headers and custom straight pipe exhaust

at current stage the car has been pulled apart again and waiting for my fabricator to finish off the front aero and diffusers for the front bar

 

reserved!!!!!

 

Ah dammnn

 

Wow nice build, can't wait to see it take shape

 

Awesome, it looks like things are coming along nicely!

 

Have you thought about replacing the OEM motorized steering column with a unit from an IS250 or 350 without the telescoping and electric motoring extra weight in it? Should be pretty straight forward and reduces one more thing that could go wrong at the track.

 

Crazy job but well done! OMG Novel Headers

 

only problem i have is finding a wiring harness off a 2IS which is pretty hard to come by
if i do so it's definately on the cards for swap over

 

Awesome thread! This should make for a killer at the track!!

 

Tremendous build thus far! To shed everything in the car for maximum weight loss is pretty neat to see. Best of luck to you in the upcoming races!
