How have I never seen or heard of Nicks Lexus?
That is awesome.
That's pretty sweet!
That's pretty awesome.
Wow! 
I would like to know how the spark plugs are to change, that looks tight!
Does it return better mpg than the I6? 
Jealous. Been wanting to do an LS swap into my IS300 for a couple years now.
In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid: Doesn't look much worse than a 4th Gen F-Body, still have scars on my knuckles from doing mine (sold the car 8 years ago) but DIY-able with a few free hours and lots of patience.
Oh my god thats awesome!! If I could vote 10 times I would.....
"Speak softly and carry a big stick"
I suppose that works for forums too. Better than talking big and producing little. Awesome car, but as said, that's a hell of a squeeze.

Just found this thread via a quote of the above in the newest issue.
First, thanks for all of the nice words about the car. It puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key. I've done a handful of track days and autocrosses in it, but it's mostly a daily driver (partially because it grossly violates the 98db sound limit at Atlanta Motorsports Park).
Here are a few pics and vids:
Aaaaaand a little something you can do in this car that you can't in a Corvette:

The last pic says it all. Awesome.
Awesome!
Thanks for posting the Youtube link. Car sounds great and goes like stink and I'm guessing is still perfectly happy to be your daily driver. Love it.
How big was the shoehorn that you had to use to get the engine to fit?
Oh, look a nice clean lexu...HOLY E36 M3 look under the hood!
