    The big turbo is going away. Saving up for a hx40super or hx40.
    New diff with 3.9 ratio compared to the old 2.4 is ordered.
    The engine mounts is getting a redo in thicker mounting plate (5mm) and different angle :)

    The steering rack is now working like when it was in the lexus. I had missed some detail which in return booted the rack into safe mode. But after this weekend it finally talks back to me and fires right up into normal assist. I will be able to choose the amount of assist soon and then later it's possible to controll it from abs sensor or gearbox. That means dynamic eps :)
    However I've haven't tried drift it in wet track yet.
    But I hope it will perform close enough to a hyudralic.

    And yes I might be comming to gatebil in September :)

    I wanted to have it a little more cozy in the drivers area so I added the factory dash again, and wired it in :)

    The new turbo is in, made me realise how beautifull my old valve covers and this battle stained engine room is hehe :) But.. will a touch-up make the car faster?.. nope so I'll rather spend it on seat time for this year :)

    17836636_10158422096955621_684645908_o.

    Also I managed to source an gs350 differential with 3.727 ratio, welded it and its time to mount it, finally some burnouts and maybe not like 160 km/h in 2nd gear anymore :)

    The differential bolted nicely to the chassi. How ever the companion flange was a different story.
    Swaped it over from the old diesel differential and now good to go.
    The differential i used was a 3.727 awd auto differential from a GS350. and the flange from the is220d differential.

    SHe is pretty happy! She is just leaking pretty much exhaust from the t3 flange, So it needs a little love before tuning. ANyway the new differential gave the car a whole new feel. its almost as easy to manouver as my daily now.. so 2. something gearing changed to 3.7 something is a pretty big step :D
