403IS300

Never started a thread on ClubLex before, nor have I really posted at all.. mostly just creeped nessecary threads. But with alot of the members in my club frequenting this site I thought I should make an appearance.

I own a 2002 Lexus IS300 but this thread will be about my 1992 JDM Toyota Soarer
My IS300 CL Build Thread can be found here:
PoorForm - IS300 Build Thread - CLUBLEXUS


Purchased it about 2 weeks ago before I went to work, got it for a STEAL of a price... as there is a issue with it going past 3500rpm while under load (neutral it is fine).. I couldnt say no to the price as the parts alone paid for the car 2-3 times over.. so began the project.

As with my IS300, quality is key, tearing out old junk and putting in the proper parts to make a killer car. This car will be no exception, I bought it because it had quality parts, but there were some things that just needed to be replaced. The "before" and "after" mods list comparisons will be more than enough proof to show the strive for quality!

This car will be built by myself and my good friend Jimmy Bailey of Vex Performance in Calgary, AB along with the help of the shop owner, Ryan Chipchase. Thanks to anybody else who lends a hand as well as I'm sure some of the bro's will come out to wrench!

Tuning: Jimmy Bailey (Bippu147)

Ryan Chipchase of Vex Performance - Calgary, AB
