so went to the junkyard yesterday here in kcmo. it was so empty, like literally there were no cars. so in the corner hiding with a black exterior was a sc300.


the engine was gone as now i need the mounts from that car. but the driveshaft was there.


so i pulled the sob and payed $44.00 beans for it.Cleaned it up after getting back to the lab.





so i hear the splines will fit the w58 tranny. but the front shaft is too short.My plan was to get the front portion lengthed at a local driveshaft shop that charges $2 per inch. 


But again it's just that the ds isn't long enough right??








Wrong!!! seems that it won't go into the tranny all the way. i can only get like the first 2 inches in then it stops.. so whats the deal with this lexus people??

so, no new updates really. just acquiring some parts to do the damn thing. got a package comming from driftmotion next week. and the tranny should be ready to be bolted on,and the water pump can be changed now. 


also got these..






$130.00





also $140.00


iam hoping these are the right ones/year i need. but after some test mocking i think these are the ones.



my f1 clutch kit came in






and picked up a spare sc300 gauge cluster for a few beans at the local junkyard.. thinking about selling..





And that is all for now..
