Running a bit too much boost, boy that's sad to see, I've had nightmares about that happening to me, hahaha.

with all those white smokes, either he broke his head gasket or piston rings (if not built), or worst of all, his block

It sure is fast though....

Ths IS300 didnt blow the engine or turbo, it was a minor problem. His car was built by toyomoto, same as my car. His car is extremely clean, incredible audio/video setup and has passed the 620rwhp mark. You can check out the details of his race in the link. Im also posting the IS300 owner reply to the video...
