As i soon will be embarking on a major re-build of the lexus, i thought i would start the topic so that a couple of the other guys involved, or hopefully will be involved can contribute there thoughts and ideas as it progresses
Here are Phase 1 and 2 of the original builds...CLICK HERE
The original build was a track car,and endurance racer, was used mostly in Germany the second re-build was the colour change and minor changes made to turn it into a drifty car
the 3rd build, will be a complete stripdown and re-build, the engine is being changed to a turbocharged 3S_GE from an altezza., it currently uses a tweeked Toyota motorsport N/A 1G-FE
a full weld in cage will replace the facory 6 point TRD cage, this will allow me to ditch the suspension turret braces and floor-chassis braces
the fuel system is being replaced with a fuel cell, i can ditch the non fuel teturn line system and 70litre tank then!!
hopefully stand alone ecu...or at least minimum use of the factory multiplex system, which is truely a pain in the ass to work with
ive yet to decide on what forced induction parts to use...
but the internals will more than likely be TODA low compression pistons and steel crank, Eagle H rods will connect them
as for the head, no definative direction has yet been decided, but the varible valve timing will be disabled
sat on the living room floor at the moment are some of the parts that have arrived from japan.
