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.

wow thats pretty impressive to bend the rod like that! how much power was it running? have you got a link to any more pics and info about the car, i havent heard anything about it before and would love to see more! Gotta love that toyota engineering! try doing that to a nissan engine and see how far out the driveway you get before it gives up the ghost lol

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
