a little more scoop on the Falken/Discount Tire IS350

Right now the custom headers are being built by
Mr. John from JSP Fab as we speak.  Since it's a
V-8 engine, the space between the heads and
the frame rails are really really tight.  And with the
steering shaft on one side and the oil lines weaved
on the other side, it just looks impossible.... for me.
The driver's side is already finished and it's
simply a work of art.  I don't know how he can image
this 3D twist and bends in his head to come up with
that finished product. 
With the old header, it was almost impossible to do
the spark plug change because we coudn't get our
hands and/or tools in between the header pipes.
But with this new design by JSP, the header looks
way nicer and it's also much easier to access the
spark plugs!
The passenger side is almost done, but all I can say
is good luck Mr. John !!
Both the staff at SPD Metal Works and JSP is working
without sleep for the last few days working on both
the IS350 and Taka's AE86.....
1 week to go !!!
