PM MKIV98TT. He is in IRVINE and willing to do this. He has posted a couple times in the other thread that his 07 GS350 awd is available for R&D.

Talking re:06+ AWD

I'd would send my gs350awd to Tanabe for R&D. I'm in Massachusetts. Too far......away. CA awd owners, please take one for the Team. If awd owner(s) lives couple hundred miles away, but wanting to help, let us know. I'm willing to pay for the first tank of gas. I'm sure some one will pay for the second tank, then third....you are my hero.

^^exactly my same sentiments. Tanabe has hit the ball back to us. Now if they don't get a AWD for R&D. Nobody should be complaining. Thank you Tanabe for updating the post. Hopefully they'll get their hands on an AWD, so we AWD peeps can lower our rides.

All,

Someone "MKIV98TT?!" located near Tanabe has stepped forward to volunteer. See a couple of threads below this thread. As of last week, MKIV98TT?! was waiting for a reply from Tanabe from e-mail messages & ( I think) voicemail messages. The ball is in Tanbabe's court now.
