Woah there Danny

You are one crazy Lexus owner.........you're more of a small private Lexus dealership than an owner.

I'm sure you've bought more IS-Fs than some country dealers have sold.

What happened to the IS250 you bought to build the race car from???? That's what you were doing before wasn't it?

Keep up the good work Dan.

Very impressive. I can't wait to see it all come together. So great to see someone doing this privately with an IS F.

Epic Danny mate, pure car porn right there!

Is there a reason you went with the Racing Brake rotors and not the Novel ones?

Very interested to see how this beast goes on the track mate! Interested in the ECU tune as well!
