I'm interested in purchasing a 1998+ GS300 with the hopes of turbocharging it eventually. I just started researching this, and I want to know if there are any meets coming up that I could attend and talk to a few of you about your cars.

 

None that I know of. Some of the get-togethers are very impromptu. Some of the guys got together to go driving and karting a couple of weeks ago. Nothing "official", upcoming planned yet though.

 

We just had about a half dozen meets in the last two months. I think most of us are burnt out for now, although there was a Norcal end-of-summer meet in the works (~end of August).

 

We will be having a Grand Opening of our new facility located at 4396-K Enterprise Street in Fremont. Here is some more information:

The date is tentatively set for August 23. We will have food, drinks and prizes. Thank you for the overwhelming reponse, we will not reply to individual emails, we will use your information to send a mass invitation to confirm. If you would like to volunteer to help out please let me know.
If you would like to attend please send a email to mike@prolexperformance.com please include your name and the amount of people you will bring.
Thank You
Mike Clark

Is there anyone in the SJ area that has done an Aristo 2JZ-GTE with VVTi swap into a 98+ GS3 by themselves and wouldn't mind sharing their experience with me?

I like the 2nd gen GS a lot and I'd like to eventually get 500+rwhp with an auto tranny. I've owned a 6-speed 94 Supra for the last 4 years and I'm tired of the negative attention it attracts from a lot of people on the streets, so I'm looking for a "sleeper" car that has all the luxury and comfort of a Lexus, and I think the GS3 is the best platform for my goals.

I've got no experience with pulling engines or transmissions - the most I did on the Supra was to externally remove the front main seal, so I'm wondering if I have what it takes to carry out the swap on my own.

I'm also interested in attending that prolexperformance grand opening to see what other options I have for getting to the horsepower goal.

If anyone has any suggestions for me, please feel free to PM me.
