Your car looking very good Stav.

Have you re channeled the dash air vents else where?

I think the wheels we look great with a blend in from blue to silver

Right well im always busy with the car doing little bits and bobs.

Ive fitted the keyless entry system and push button start, though intergration with the standard alarm is still proving difficult.

Ive bought another Racelogic traction control system, i sold the one i had originally a long time ago but this was a bargain i could pass up and was the digital top of the range one.

Ive just bought a full leather set of rear seats to try and smarten the car up (thanks to Bash for them)

And as you may have seen ive sold my rare Modellista speedo to Asi as i wanted a new project.

Ive bought one of these:http://www.spa-uk.co.uk//design/productdetails/?objid=65

Its obviously not as original as the Lexus dash but i want the challenge of wiring it in with the complex Lexus wiring and will be another one off.

Heres what ive done so far:

This is the unit:

And how i plan to fit it:

You can see my gear indicator in the bottom right hand corner as well.
Gonna wrap the perspex in Carbon as well to smarten it up.

Got all the wiring sorted in my head so once i finish the dash time to wire it up.


Also had the front end, sideskirts and wings resprayed to smarten them up as they were covered in stone chips, no pics yet but will try get some this weekend.

Next jobs include:

Finishing Speedo and fitting
Fitting Traction control
weld in exhaust valve
Get a full geometry
Refit DAB radio
tidy up boot with DVD player, Freeview, and PS2 mounted better
Buy gearbox temp gauge and fit

Thats just a small list lol will try and get it done asap as im off work next week.

Hope you all like the update, sorry not many pics
