TheTurtleshead Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Fantastic work as always Simon. Love what you've done with the front end and number plate location. Also love the Daw Luck bonnet, very tempted by one of these. Really need to get some paint done on my car soon. Excellent news, you know yours already has a home!

Lee P Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) Haven't updated this for a while but car has gone through some exciting changes now. We always felt this was a great car and setup but the one thing that let it down was the stock auto gearbox This was the first car to get the Syvecs full auto control and SRD flappy paddle conversion which have worked great. James has been very happy with it but we always wanted to do something with the gearbox. Instead of the usual built stock gearbox we discussed something different. So for the last year we have planning and working on a modern replacement auto gearbox for this car. It is now running on the latest S6 plus which is a superb ecu and gives us a lot more outputs to control a box with more gears.

Lee P Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Haha... Getting there First thing was to pick a gearbox, we wanted to stay close to home and use something in the Toyota family After some discussions with Ryan and my own experience with Lexus cars, we opted for the ISF 8 speed gearbox. Between us we already had some experience with earlier 5 and 6 speed versions of the gearbox and the latest 8 speed looked to perform very well and not be too much bigger. Infact it's the lightest gearbox In its class and relatively small for what it contains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact it's the lightest gearbox In its class and relatively small for what it contains. I was hoping you'd say the 8 speed. I've been snooping in the latest version of the Syvecs software and saw it was able to map/support the 8 speed. I've heard the shift times are pretty great on those, too?

Yeah the 8 speed is a quick change so once setup should be very good First thing to get sorted was the adapter plate and flywheel The starter motor is opposite side on the Lexus so the adapter plate helps sort this out while allowing the box to bolt up The billet flywheel, (which is a work of art) bolts up to the crank and is spaced to meet the torque converter We are using the Lexus TC, it's noticeabley larger than the supra one.
