Hi John,

Sorry to hear about your engine. I every now and then tune in on to this thread to read some of the storys and happen to stumble accross your post. Anyways as you know with any performance car these kinds of things do happen so I am sure you will do your homework and come back even stronger.

Best of luck also in your businerss endeavor as well

Al

Wow man....really ****ty. As I told u on the phone, when you are ready to pick the wrenches up give me a ring as I have a hoist ready

At the very least it would be a fun afternoon to pull everything and strip it down and see what we can determine was the cause of failure.

When your ready to pick the torch up again you know all of us will lend a hand!

Tonight on my way home from work on 595 I see a car from far away with hids and yellow fogs. I could tell it was an is300 by the distance between the headlights and fogs. I was driving slow because I am very tired from work. I got out at 1am. It was a white is. It looked stock though. I don't remember if it had a lip but it was on stock wheels. He pulls next to me as we were exiting on university and says nice car and hits it so I put in 3rd and blow past him by 3 cars and decided to keep going through 4th. I had about 10-15 cars at about 120mph. Then he flashed me and I slowed down. So we are both on university now and he asked if I wanted to trade. I said no of course lol.

Then we get to a light. He asks how much power am I making and I told him I'm on 14-15psi but I don't know how much power. The light turns green so he hits it and I roll into 1st and hit it with him. I'm spinning next to him countersteering as I go sideways a little and when I hit 2nd I'm still spinning but I'm leaving him bad and then I put it in 3rd and slowed down. I probably was about 5 cars ahead. And then I went on my way home and drove slow again. I did see a cop but it was a while after i slowed down.

He was a Spanish guy with his friend or brother or something.
