congrats. its a great feeling, isnt it? hopefully you dont fall victim to priority shift like me. keep the beast forever! and dont let the women control the hobbies and lay guilt trips!
LOL, what's the secret to getting around that? I don't mind too much on giving up my car hobby for a nice LCD TV and home entertainment center but it's just something about turning a wrench and polluting the environment that makes me feel more normal.
Fighting priority shift over here. Gonna have to take a break on the racing stuff this year.
Who knows, I might be done before Phillz and I haven't even pulled the motor yet.

any new updates tim?? or jus bumpin the thread up??? hahaha
I'm completely out of the loop on what is going on. That's why I bumped the thread.
I'm sure nothing is happening right now. They were trying to get "Top End 2" done before TX2K8, so I'm sure that has become #1 priority over anything else.
Hopefully they at least got Supra TT rear end installed though.
sorry to take it a lil off topic but where at is this build going on in OH? I was born and raised in Cincy and i haven't been back there in awhile it feels like! I know a good tuner there in cincy and a mechanic who does sick stuff with hondas! you guys may or may not give love to hondas but he builds 600 horse+ honda motors that last forever.
What shop are you talking about in Cincy? That's where I live now and I don't know of any reputable shops in Cincy. Maybe TPR....they are big Honda guys and seem like they know what they are doing. But that's it.
The build is being finished up at Accelerated Performance in Toledo, OH.
yes TPR, he builds just sick stuff there for sure. He is a great guy too. I know he is all honda, but he was a breath away from getting me a 2jzge swap for my IS, a few months back, for nothing. He built my buddies motor in his hatch and he put down to the wheels 525hp on 23pounds. B18, conservative tune, breaking up in the top end too. Sorry to get off the path but i saw some OH folks and i got lots of love for my home state!
finally talked to Don at AP, and my TT rear has been installed. Custom chromolly subframe, pretty pimp. Unfortunately, that is all that has been done due to some shop priorities that did not include my car.

Pssst, IS300's come with a 2jzge what the point in swapping another 2jzge into it?
If you live in cincy then maybe you can come meet up with me and my brother. We would love to see another person in cincy with a modded IS rather than ourselves.
Whats your name, and how sure are you that rob at tpr even knows what a 2jz is? I am sure he knows his K's H's and B series cars. Not being an ass or talking bad about TPR, but I have never seen anything that doesnt have an [H] badge on the front outside the shop.
