Hey Guys,
Just wanted to give you a quick update. Some of you may have heard the car popped the motor my last time out at the track. So I thought I would show you the stock internals and the amazing pieces Toyota put in our motors. I would imagine they didn't break because of the heat, causing them to bend instead of snap ;) It just amazes me these rods took many many dyno pulls and track passes.

I'll be building the motor over the winter and coming out stronger than ever in the spring!

Cheers and good luck with the rebuild,

Chris,
Many thanks for the update. If you could keep us posted as you progress, that would be MUCH appreciated.

What I find VERY impressive about your car Chris, is that it's still a "Normal" street driven SC300, yet is able to put down VERY,VERY fast times.
A credit to the driver, as well as the car
I think, that with your abilities an 8 sec time is possibly on the cards
