Something you might find tricky is that the trans mounting is different on the "xi" cars, the crossmember attaches in different places because the trans tunnel is flared out to make room for the transfer case. It's not insurmountable, but I hope you have some fab skills to make a new crossmember.

I don't intend to use a transfer case.

Hmm unless what you're saying is that I won't have any place to mount the RWD transmission support bracket?

Wow, this will be cool. What happened to the IS? I've been looking at the pictures for like an hour trying to figure it out.

My best guess is the previous owner lost control, hopped some curb and flew in between some solid objects like a tractor trailer perhaps.

You are doing pre-LCI E92 headlights, not the LCI E92 headlights?

Yeah, I really dislike that bottom dip on the LCI headlights, besides the pre-LCI internals are far more superior in terms of light output/performance.

Ty sir, I wouldn't doubt that some of the love still comes from the inspiration you've instilled with your build, especially after seeing it in BAT

I remember awhile back when I was comparing part numbers on real oem, I noticed that the number of bolts and mounting points on the transmission were different on xdrive and rwd. Plus the driveshaft length is different. Heading in the right track keeping it rwd to rwd.
