I agree. My brother had one that I used to maintain and now has an 850 that I'm changing the head gaskets. The chain driven cams are awesome.

Can I just have the entire drivetrain out of the 599 FXX please! WOW! What a car! UNREAL! Actually, I LOVE the look of the 599 GTO, so just give me one of those please! HAHAHAHA! I couldn't even afford a set of brake rotors for that beast!

Howdy Feller's, Thought I'd check in with ya'll as I have a Day Pass from the asylum. The 1gz-fe v12 arrived on Thursday. I spent a little time checking it out today. It's all there and looks to be low mileage. I think we'll go with megasquirt 3 engine management system in N/A form and then add boost later. Me think's twin turbo. Gonna start tearing it down tomorrow. Wa Hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Finished the V12-6speed adapter and did the mock-up for installing the Yota V6,V8, V12 directly to the 928 torque tube.

You should try VEMS instead.
The hardware is of much better grade, as well as it has way more features standard....

Would be interesting to see what the Lexus LFA Bellhousing looks like.

What else is a needed upgrade with a bigger engine

First thing that I think is getting bigger brakes.

I'm curious if Dinsdale can get the hood on with the factory plenum.
This should do the trick...



I'll have to post this one on Hybrids as it'll fit the 944 as well as the 928 trans

Eijun, You don't know me very well, do you?
Try readin a little, or I can explain it for you.
Here's the rule's #1 Make car stop better [ than yours]
#2 Make car handle better [ than yours]
#3 make car faster than [ than yours]
I build fast cars that handle well and stop fast.
Each one is better than the last.
Willing to bet mine's bigger than yours.
How big are your brakes?
Best regards, Dinsdale Piranha
