Jim, you are naughty... but I like you!
I have not quite mastered paypal yet, and it's been nearly ten years!

I'll post pics as and when the stuff arrives. I hope the charger gets here super quick as I miss watching the wives face screw up whenever I plant the pedal. :lol:
Then it's definitely time to save up for my next service which will be due in 2k.

A Koyo racing radiator and cap. I finally got fed up of my leaky nipple and decided a bit more engine bling was in order. I had the choice of Koyo, Mishimoto or Mizu. Finally decided on the Koyo as I know its made in Japan and they make a lot of OEM rads too.

Some Ralco RZ pulleys. Apparently they give 15hp+, but I'm more interested in how they're going to look beside the polished radiator and polished Procharger. Besides now that I've got all the gear pulling tools, I might as well make use of them :p
I'm also hunting down an IS300 throttle body and intake manifold with the intention of having them polished up and bored out by a few mm.

My ultimate goal when all is said and done is 400rwhp. If I can get there then I'll be uber happy. Turbo IS300 guys tend to see 400rwhp around the 14-16PSI mark. Whether this will be the same for a S/C pushing 14PSI I don't know. I'm hoping the new headers, my BC cams, the lightweight pulleys, meth injection, tuned camgear...etc will get me there though.

It's always good to have goals. Knowing you, it probably won't take you long either! 400 is a nice number, and it's all shaping up to be very shiny too. I want it!

Yeah I'm thinking 400whp is probably as much as I'd be comfortable driving around with having 3 kids in the back. Also its not too far away from being achievable and will probably be close to the limits of the supercharger.
Run like that for a couple of years,then when the kids are too big to all fit in the car i'll get a daddymobile and turn the IS into a track car and start learning about turboing
