Hello tristate,

I never made a build thread for my old car so i'll mention a little about it before i go into detail about the new one..

The old:

94 300zx

Body was n/a, 5 speed emerald black paint with tan interior. Twin turbo motor was swapped in and many mods later it was putting down 400whp on 14 psi. I owned the car for about 5 years (which is uncommon for me, usually have a car for a year tops before i move on to something else) Recently decided I wanted to move on to something different so put it up for sale saying I would accept trades..Got a lot of trade offers, some i was fairly interested in, many i was not interested in which is expected...

Pictures:





Anyway, the other day I got an email offering me what turned into my new car... 2003 Lexus IS300

Car is black with black leather and suede interior, 5 speed auto (unfortunately), 92k miles.

Current mods: K sport coilovers, black grill, de-badged, hid's, carbon fiber interior trim..pretty much stock which is what i was looking for.

Plans:

The car has a few dents, dings, and scratches here and there so in the next few weeks i want to take care of those issues.

Either powder coating the stock rims or getting a new set of rims (thinking VOLK TE37 time attacks but not possitive yet)

Lowering it some more once i figure out what wheels are going on

Intake and exhaust - Would really like to go with a 3" cat-back but from what im told no one makes a 3" for the car so either going to go with a 2.5" or buy a n1 ti muffler and get someone to fab up some 3" piping to it..

Those aremy deffinate plans that will be completed shortly..

as for possible mods:

6 speed manual swap

Turbo set up - with all the supporting mods to go along with that

too hard to tell at this point how far i want to go with the car, might just keep it suttle or might go nuts ha..

Heres pics from the sellers ad (i havent gotten the chance to take pics yet)







let me know what you guys think..comments, opinions, suggestions..
