Thanx guys, I had a delay as far as getting the car into the shop so Hopefully not too long before I get her in and started.

Not sure if Brain is the owner but he is who I dealt with. Was very helpful and their turn around time was great.

Just and update, She is in the shop getting her parts installed, I should be getting progress pics in the coming weeks so I'll post those as they come along. Once she comes out I going to be heading to to get the tranny upgraded a little built and than tuned so hopefully a little after Thanksgiving I should have her back up and running. I'll update you guys soon.

Yeah Brian is the owner, takes orders, customer support, guy that answers the phones, etc lol.

Hey Adrian I have a question for you. Do you have an aftermarket radiator? If so, which one did you use in your car? I currently have a HUGE 3 row Supra radiator in mine which is great for cooling, but the radiator holding brackets don't fit very well.

I have a Flyuidine rad, its supra futment aswell but the top brackets fit just like our top brackets it was at the bottom that my shop had to fab up some brackets to bolt it in at the bottom. I think he said since it was a little longer than our oem lexus rad.
