I bought the car from a young couple who only had it for 6 months. They only put about 1500 miles on it and couldn't afford it anymore. divorce yada yaday... Wife worked at a Toyota dealer where it was traded in by the original owner and installer of all the equipment. The young couple bought it before it went up for sale at the dealer. The couple really only knew it had a twin turbo. They know nothing about cars. I doubt if a Toyota dealer would take a trade without checking the car out or selling it to one of their employees and giving them a 3 year warranty. You never know though. This car was VQstrykers car on this forum. I only figured this out while researching 370's on the internet. It's odd that Stryker would spend all the money and do all that work then trade it in, but I have heard of odder things. Stuff happens. You can still look up his profile and all about the car on this forum. It's a 2010 base with less than 19000 miles. I paid a few thousand over retail book for the car and it does not have a scratch on it. I felt sorry for the kids because the had a hunk to pay off after I bought it. A few grand for all the mods, TT, 3" exhaust -not cats, 650hp clutch, LSD Diff, gauges and install, was worth it. If I have to put a little money into it to fix what is wrong, it's not going to be a big deal.
Anyway I have an appointment at Zsports in Everett who have been Dyno tuning for 20 years and who the owner raced cars for Nissan. I'm not too worried about the issues and appreciate your ideas and suggestions so far. I will be taking some of your suggestions to the next level. Thanks
