Yes its hot over here. Right now its about 107 at 8:30 PM in the heat of the day the heat is around 115 to 120+, humidity is around 10-15%, altitude is pretty much at sea level where I work its at 414'.
I havn't physically weighed the car, just going off the GVWR, which is the max load I guess, on the door tag.
I guess I could get it weighed here, with all the trucks going west to Iraq I should be able to find somewhere that has scales though there isn't any weight enforcement like in the USA.
The motors are used engines from Japan so all should have less that 100K.
I always check compression and its always good. The engines from japan have a different fuel injection system the mechanics say so my old system allways gets swapped over. Im almost at the end at getting motors from japan cause there just aren't any more 7MGE engines coming over cause they are so old. Lots of lexus engines here though. Turbo engines are scarce here because of the heat and sand blowing around. I was thinking of doing a 7M-GTE swap after I go on vacation back to Phoenix area and get a wire harness and ECU, but the 7M-GTE is even scarcer here. Just about everything I get for the car gets brought here in my suitcase. Next trip is also headers from Summit made by Pace Setter, don't know how much improvement after them though. Also might try fan mod with dual flex-a-lites.
