That is a badass swap. Put some custom fuel rail covers on that badboy that say LEXUS and you could pass that off for stock, lol.

I really need to learn how to weld after reading this. You have some amazing fab skills man.

That is a sick swap. Now take it out and romp on the new IS-F for a fraction of the cost.

Damn, that was the best four pages of Internet I've ever seen. Dude your skills are off the chain, and to crank that swap out in that short amount of time is....beyond my comprehension.
Those look like motor mounts, and if you are manufacturing them, then my sticker just pecked up!!!

I found a link to this thread from another forum and I just have a few things to say after reading it all.

Awesome stuff! You have every right to be extremely proud in your self and cars. I am very impressed with the ability and way you think. It reminds me a bit of my self, of course I don't have the experience and knowledge to do a swap like that or in such short time. I hope to in some years time. A little back round on your self? Major props guy!
