Yep sold the IS300 and my ZR2 Sonama and bought a 03 GTV6 Tib as a run around back in Feb but liked it so much that I haven't bothered looking for anything else. I've been running a stage 3 Alpine Supercharger kit since April. It uses an M63 roots blower with an internal water intercooler ported/polished NGM stg 2 intake, NGM 440cc injectors, NGM fuel tuner, stg 2 fuel rails and an AEM intake. The fuel tuner is really just a mafterburner not great but it give access to all the areas required and the both the base and the upgraded tune which came with my 2.75" upper and 7" lower was as the guys at Tag said just about perfect. With a 12:1 A/F all the way across making 257 WHP 223 TQ I was pertty happy.
150 KPH LOL funny guy come on MPH but I checked my GPS this morning and last recorded top speed was only 142MPH so I guess my tach is off just a bit. In stock form the car loved to cruise at 100-110 MPH as much as my IS300 it got a bit unsettled around 120MPH but since I put my coilovers on it settled it down and was smooth until around 130 Which up to Friday morning as the fastest I had gone this time it was hang on and see what happens.
*** Disclaimer I only attempted that speed in the middle of the night on a perfectly flat and smooth stretch of HWY which I have driven 1000 times. ***
As for pictures they are coming the motor will be out next week so I'll post up all the horrible picks of the damage. As for just replacing the motor that seems like the way I will go since I can get a used complete motor with 12,000KM on it for just $2200+ freight.

One that has no roof.
One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
