When you going to take it to the track see what the new hot pipe does? Hopefuly you beat that 11.6 time.

 

Hopefully soon....not sure when I'll have time but I want to go again before it starts to get too hot.

 

The dash R&R looks to be tedious but straightforward...still hope I don't have to do mine lol. I'm pretty good with interior work though...I work for Lexus and had 3 new LS460 dashes out and back in on Tuesday between 9 am and 4 pm. (they were removed to fix a rattle concern that involves replacing 5 mounting clips). I just finished doing another one today

 

Taking it apart was scary....it actually went back together pretty easily. Not as bad as I was expecting, and it didn't take as long either. I think I took some stuff apart that I didn't need to....just following the directions in the service manual, which has you pull the entire dash out, along with the steering column and support structure, which isn't necessary.

 

I'm sure that if you had to do it again (hopefully you never will!), you'd have a few shortcuts...and if you did a few of them it would be old hat . Just like anything, practice makes perfect...not to mention we tend to be a little more cautious when we're working on our own stuff lol
