Just spotted this written off Lexus IS_F on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2011-LEXUS-IS-F-5-0-V8-AUTO-IN-BLUE-SALVAGE-DAMAGED-NOT-REPAIRABLE-CAT-B-EXPORT-/302274177214?hash=item4660f1e8be:g:2YQAAOSwpkFY5NNb

 

Should be a relatively easy swap, seeing as SRD have already sorted all the gearbox mountings and prop shaft adaptor, and Using a Syvecs much of the electronics will be plug and play. Perfect swap if you're not looking for big power :cool: You's also want to try and make use of those awesome brakes.

 

 

I'd think you'd get a few £k back from selling other parts off too.

Is it still not done yet?

 

I'm sure Lee will correct me if it is no longer the case, but the ISF development car doesn't have a Syvecs kit on it yet, let alone a working swap into a Supra. This was last year, but I've not heard anything about it since (and I'd expect that becoming available to be big news).

I think "optimistic" is the right word for "plug and play" electronics for that... Looks a nightmare that will send a mapper on a nice cruise at the end (if there is one...) :)
