Is that a diaper?
Wait, wait, wait.
Oh, it's a pants undergarment.
It's a pants undergarment.
It's very subtle but I think it's a nice addition.
I think it adds a little flair and, you know, flair is good.
Why do we keep falling down?
Well, it's always the effective route.
We got time to make this right.
But it's hard, we keep falling down.
My first touch.
When I look at you now, an adrenaline rush.
We're always looking for something more.
But we're closer to the edge than ever before.
I hit my side.
It doesn't make any sense.
This was not how I saw the end.
But I keep my lips.
And the consequences are end.
Why do we keep falling down?
Well, it's always the effective route.
We got time to make this right.
But it's hard, we keep falling down.
Well, we're driving.
It feels like it's been months since we've driven this car.
It's been a long time.
It's been a while.
It's actually winter.
Basically winter happened and now we're driving it again.
Hammer here.
Oh, it's lighting up the rear tires.
Oh, wow.
Traction control is going up there.
Oh, actually, dude, it's got good pull up top.
It does.
Oh, yeah.
It is lighting up the rear tires.
It's a lot quicker.
It is.
It's a lot quicker.
It is.
Well, we've got good news and we've got bad news.
And let's start with the good news.
And that is it did make some good power, didn't it?
It picked up about 60 wheel and about 40 foot pounds of torque.
That's huge.
It's a pretty good start.
And the bad news is she's running lean, isn't she?
She's running very lean.
Let's pray that this supercharged ECU does put a bunch more fuel in it.
All right, the flex is strapped down to the dyno here.
And that means it's time to swap in the first of our all-for-swap ECUs.
That is a big improvement.
I didn't expect to see this much change.
But apparently ECU tuning works.
Definitely does.
So we're in business.
Get up the rear tires.
Man, I'm super pumped on how well the Flexus is doing.
I did not think it would be as close as it is to the M5.
This blower on here makes a world of difference.
It's really getting off the line well.
The Flexus wins.
Yeah, the old man car won.
You all need beige and wood trim in your life.
As long as you supercharge your Lexus like I did.
And thanks again to everyone who helped with that supercharger setup.
507 Garage.
And of course, Elite Manufacturing.
What a great setup that's turned out to be.
And with that all-for-swap ECU in there, this car just drives perfectly.
Yeah, all in all, I'm really loving this car.
And it's pretty much perfect.
I wake up some mornings and say, oh, I should put an LSD and a six-speed in it.
But once I go for a drive in it, I'm like, no, it's perfect.
It does exactly what I want it to do.
It's so weird.
The Flexus wins.
Yeah, the old man car won.
