the maxima looks good-- seems like your willing to try anything..
give us some more info..
and heres an update on rdms ttsc400.. the 8 extra fuel injector setup seems to be working well--but in the mean time,, the motor has started to show its age and the abuse it has gotten so far.. at a local track,, it was blowing a bunch of smoke this past weeken--enough for us to pack it up and drive home.. we will be putting in a spare motor i have at the shop so rdm can drive the car this summer..im heading for a couple month vacation,, and i want rdm to drive the car while im gone..
we have some forged pistons--so the motor in the car now will get a rebuild,,and a freshening up, and will get put back in the car when i get back in september.. anyway,, il try and keep an eye on the net to see whats going on.. rdm may get brave and take the spare motor up to the track.. i was able to datalog some afr's,, and it looked pretty good by the last run before we decoded to pack up..

by the way,, i met one more chris-Chris T.- and another chris,DirectorQL- was also at the track.--its nice to see LEXUS represented so well.. i wish rdms motor would have lasted a little more--but believe me when i say im surprised it has lasted this long.. it has definately seen some thrashing..

Unfortunetly my cameraman sucks. Just kidding. It got real cold and he was in shorts and tshirt. I didn't really try to launch the car and I runned without race gas. This was "REAL STREET RACES" night so no 1/4 mile times for the public.

Chris

PS. I'm in the green SC300TT, then it's Bob with white SC400TT, and Chris T. with the last white SC300T.

im in the shop right now and rdm is taking apart the spare engine as i speak.. were gonna go thru it--new forged pistons-rings- bearings--stuff like that..im gonna freshen up the head also--a light valve job..
im figuring it should be in the car next week sometime.. i am working on a few things now--1 camaro turbo project as well as some super secret stuff, "i could tell you but id have to kill you".. .so i will be busy..but--i am vacationed out and feel pretty good--so i should be able to get thru this stuff quickly..
