This is the re-run from earlier. Cool show, they do a Lexus 430 swap into an IS300

I like how they call it an IS430. Very nice project car. The drifting piece was nice too!

It's the first time I have seen a drifting competition on tv. Watching the 3 drift in unison is

At the end of the program they do some drifting with the IS430.

Paint job wasn't that great. But the wheels looked cool

That thing must be a monster though. Pretty impressive that they got all the electronics working considering that the IS has its own diagnostics that needs to recognize the transmission and engine.

The drifting was awesome too. It's really cool seeing 3 cars side-by-side going at it.
