Re: Project Lex
Updates from the shop. First I'll mention that so far this has probably been one of the best shop experiences I've ever had. I receive multiple messages from Brett/FenFab per week. Sometimes on a daily basis. Tells me what he's done, anything he ran into and almost always with a recommended solution to move forward. Lots of photos. This is a pretty small operation, just the owner with 1 employee that I know of, relatively unknown compared to the larger 2jz shops. But they have shined when it comes to communication and that's been great, especially when I seem to run into lack of that all too often. Hopefully when I show up to get the car, the in person quality matches the photos and everything I've experienced thus far, and hopefully don't have to take this statement back lol.
So anyways, here's where we're at. The motor is in obviously. He's fabbed up the new 1pc aluminum IC piping (2.5" hot side, 3" cold side), nice rolled lips, and powder coated texture black. Photos look on point! He made a new fuel tank top hat for the new dual 450 pump setup (1 always on, other turns on with AEM when needed). It'll bolt up to factory feed and return for now, but setup for running larger lines in the future. 1ZZ COP brackets he made and powder coated, all installed. Battery relocated to the trunk using a full sized SC300 battery. Fastened downed and properly mounted in a battery box. Cut-off switch installed for the track. It's ran through a spare taillight I bought for dirt cheap. The arm is removable so I can just run my original taillight fully functional for 99% of the time on the street. For track day all I do is swap in this other taillight and connect the push/pull arm. Exactly what I had requested, and he nailed it on the execution.
That's about it for now. Car is basically done and ready for initial fire up. He's trying to coordinate that with the remote tuner Vlad as a whole new base tune needs to be done, I highly doubt the car would fire up on the old tune. So hoping for some good news soon!
