I bought a Toyota. Put a 1J in. Brap Brap.
 
Reserved for my build thread...

Lexus IS300 Sportcross - Already got enough room to fit 18x11.5 with 285s in the back... so there should be some good sizes on this thing all said and done. This car already has been featured on a bunch of places on line... its mine now and I gotta redo all of it.

Step 1: Fitment
Step 2: Interior
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Awesome

BrandonW 11-24-2011 01:58 PM

nice pick up, i'd like to have one along with my other two toyotas

Nice! I always liked the IS300 but never had a chance to own or drive one.

Good luck with it. I'm sure that's a fun car you can do a lot with.

I have driven one of these. Almost bought one a couple years back. They are fun cars.

Keeping it stock at the moment - its gonna be a stanced daily. Has Greddy Type S Coils at the moment but they are semi-somewhat blown. Or just way too soft compared to what Im used to driving - Ill find out soon when I get it in the air. It has way too much fender gap.

Im thinking 18s all around, 9.5-10 in the front with a 10-10.5 in the rear? Im up for recommendations... It needs fitment BAD.

Give me time. Or money.

Money is substitute for time.

Sportcross never came in stick. It used to look goooood.... now its time to make it look good my way.

I would love one of these. Looks amazing.

lownslow95 11-25-2011 12:12 PM

Looks good. Don't see to many sportbacks around.

After driving it 2k miles in a week... I like this thing way too much to molest the driveline yet. Wheels only this year. NA 2J has plenty of punch for daily... and this is coming from driving a 300whp 240 for 3 years daily.

Renegade_ 12-26-2011 07:16 PM

Deer.

Ouch...that sucks man.

Insurance covers all of it. Thank god I upgraded to comprehensive. A headlight for this thing is 1200 bucks. Thats about 4k in damage haha

lownslow95 12-26-2011 07:22 PM

Damn that's an expensive ass headlight. It better do more then just light the road at that price.

Auto leveling HIDs - motors need replacing too.

lownslow95 12-26-2011 07:25 PM

Ahh...damn that's beat. At least insurance is covering it.

FazdaGt 12-26-2011 07:29 PM

Good insurance is so worthwhile isn't it?

Loveeee the wagon. A bit jealous actually.
