Thanks!

 

i guess so...

 

Oh well, i didn't mean it like that.

 

So what are you going to do with your 2JZGE motor and all the components with it?

 

seems like you made no attempt to steer into the skid....i wasnt there but...didnt you feel the rear coming around?

 

I bought another IS300 and swapped it all in!!!

waited way too long for this..but finally getting it back this weekend....

i've posted the pics on a few other forums recently, so those of you who have been following already know....those on here, I figuired to share with you, for those that are curious...

well, for those who know about me, or search my threads....I totalled my 2001 IS300 turbo back in May 2005....got this new IS last summer, FINALLY got around to doing the engine swap back to my turbo motor, GTE bottom end/GE head....

here are some progress pics.......turbo and manifold back on the car now since these pics taken in february...





then early March....





then March 30th:






thanks, Marc

 

Nice! Glad to see its back, still running the auto or a manual this time? Looking forward to seeing your times with some good rubber...

 

thank you. thank you.
Auto, built, 3200 stall tq converter

when I do go back out there, definitely with DR's, and looking for low 12's, high 11's on pump gas!!

 

With 475whp Id hope for mid 11's at least man, I hit 11's with less than 400whp...I believe our cars weigh about the same.

 

Damn. Lexus cars have reknown fame for crashing into walls at the dragstrip now.

Nice to see it's all coming along.

 

hehe, well, i'm thinking of 11's at low boost, like 15 psi where I made 440rwhp..on PUMP GAS...I'm certain i'm capable of low 11's, high 10's at like 18 psi on pump gas....and 22 psi on C16...well, do the math...

we'll see...i'm not in a hurry to make it back to the track, probably not till september/october....

 

verrrryy nice. Glad to see the return. Every time I see an is300, I miss my old one more and more.

 

thanks dude...

I just love the sleeper effect of the car....I was tempted to get a Supra..I test drove one last June, really liked it...but then its KNOWN for being fast and an exotic.....

with the IS300, it still idles and sounds quiet like a lexus....and unsuspecting evo's, sti's, g35's, 350z's, come up behind, see a stock looking car and exhaust, and then...its SHOWTIME

except it has a T-67, and a Motec standalone engine management...shhhh..

 

Sounds pretty badass

 

so you own the is300 at acosta... i see it its very sweet.... i own the black r33.....

 

yeah man, thanks....I know, that was me behind the desk with Harold that day when you were there, I told you I saw the pics posted.....

ur car is gonna be AWESOME with the new upgrades as well....

 

i wana see this video. bring it back....

 

here ya go, watch my misery unfold...
