That's an amazing car! wolf in sheep's coat haha love the number plate 😄 what's next on the list for mods? 

Cheers matey, well me and the tuner did discuss maybe switching to ethanol fuel if I really wanted more power. Its the easiest and quickest way of gaining more. 

The complete fuel system is ethanol capable I will just need a slightly more beefy fuel pump and a flex fuel sensor putting in. If I'm honest I think the way this car is currently setup it probably couldn't get more power to the ground so I would have to look into tyres and suspension changes. 

Yeah the number plate is an interesting 1, it came with the car from the previous owner. The car had no MOT and needed a fair bit of work to get it through which I had no intention of doing as I had the long game plan in mind, as a result he couldn't get the plate on to retention so gave it up.

Cheers, hopefully get loads of pics and videos of shows and driving come spring and summer shows.  1 things is for sure I definitely need better tyres for the high boost setting, these NS2-R's need a fair bit of heat in them to get them to bite and even then they struggle some.

I can imagine, I'd definitely struggle driving that slow the noise is intoxicating. I've used toyo 888r a fair few times pretty impressed for the cost better than a lot of higher brands I've used in the past.

Wow, been so long since i last updated this!! 

Car is still going although its since had a rebuild! Managed to spin 2 rod bearings, not really 100% sure why it happened. I was using a standard clearance rod bearing and have since gone to over sized. Clearance was withing Toyota's spec but may have been a little tight for a built engine. I have known many ppl use standard size rod bearings and not had an issue but maybe i was unlucky.... or they have been lucky.

Either way i now have a freshly built bottom end in it, only thing thats changed really is the rear tyres. Ive now gone to the Toyo R888R's, not got the fronts yet but they are next on the list.

these things are huge, im now using a 265/35 R18 which is the widest tyre these wheels will take. Its made a huge difference in grip, night and day and gave the car alot more road presence!

Also made my first trip to Caffeine and Machine around November time!! Loved it, such a variety of cars and the IS300 got lots of attention!

My friend in his JCW Mini captured this on his dash cam too 😂.... 💥

Sickening about the engine. Ive been having thoughts about fitting a turbo on my 300 but it's seeing things like this put me off

Hey, its been a while.... not alot has changed tbh. I spent the whole of last year just enjoying it and going to shows. 

Actually won an award at an Exclusive JDM show which was a proud moment, all the hard work over the years payed off. 

Did another Exclusive JDM show at Sturgate straight and managed to really stretch its legs, 1st time launching the car and using the 2step properly. Absolutely loved it!

 

Sorry for all the pics and vids, there is so many more i have this is just the best of the bunch tbh. Hopefully get it down Santa Pod this year see what she can do.
