History Notes:
Less than two miles of ownership, I over boosted it by accident and blew the short block. I immediately shipped the car back to Powerhouse Racing for repairs. Jarrett installed a new 2JZ-GE short block, rods, pistons and other miscellaneous things to get the car back to its prime condition when I first recieved it. I only used a private enclosed car carrier service to transport the IS 300 to and from Powerhouse Racing’s facility in Texas, and also for the initial time I shipped the car from Powerhouse Racing to California. I spent approximately $5,200 in shipping alone…
Before the IS 300 was shipped back to Powerhouse Racing for repairs, Daizen sway bars and HKS Hypermax Damper II coilovers were installed.
Background:
The odometer now has 7,761 miles. I put approximately 1,200 miles on the car since I took ownership after the repairs done by Powerhouse Racing. 99% of the miles were on a highway driving between 60-65 MPH and under 3,500 RPM.
Price: $45,000
If you have any questions or will like to see pictures, please feel free to call me at (949) 235-1433 or email at ekay@clublexus.com. I can be reached occasionally on AIM at ClubLexus02.
Thank you for looking.
I made some edits. Jarret did not install a GTE block; it just says GTE on the receipt.

I am pretty much done with cars, in general. I like my 1993 LS 400. 
You put the badboy in "D", hit the gas pedal and move!
I put a lot into this IS 300, and I never held back; hence, I bought almost everything out there, including custom car covers, locks, wheels locks, extra key and etc. I am still awaiting the Toms braces from Steve; I am not sure what the status of the order is. I was about to buy a trailer (...LX 470/Tundra/Tacoma to TOW the trailer), Motec Lambda meter and upgrade the M4 to M48 ECU complete with new wiring and harness. A 12 point rollcage did come to my mind at some point...but I was like, it MAY be a 10-11 second IS 300, however, I am definately incapable of driving it to the car's full potential. Basically, I was going to go full 10 yards. However, my time is now very limited, including on weekends. So, something had to go, and I decided to let go of the car instead of the other options availabe to me.
One more note, people called me crazy when I spent $3,000 in shipping the car to and from Texas after 2 miles/10 minutes of ownership. lol!
Richie and Ryan, well, if the car is still here, then yeah, I will give you a ride for what it is worth. I never could seem to bring out the potential in the car unlike other drivers who have taken the car for a spin.

...you'll be lucky if someone pays you thirty grand for it...........highly unlikely you'll find an extremely unique buyer for a car that has been 'raced' numerous times.....
...let this be a lesson to the people that pour money into...'mods' as the actual value of the car slides ever downward...
