NikoVibes 2007 6MT IS250 Build
I figured id start a build thread for my car, im a little late as ive had the car for almost a year now.
This is my first 2IS but i am not a stranger to Toyota's and Lexus.
Here is my 1981 Toyota Starlet i built from Stock and my previous Manual Transmission 04 IS300
On to the build...
I purchased the car stock from a Small used subaru dealership for $10000 out the door.
2007 IS250 6 Speed Manual Transmission
135,xxx
Came with OEM GFX front lip installed from the dealer back in 07
The day i purchased it... SO minty and clean!
First order of Business was lowering it, I purchased some BC BR coilovers and it stayed like that for a couple months
I then bought some 18x10 +35 Work MCO Type C's from a friend for $1000 Brand new for all 4 and put some 275/35/18 Hankooks all around.
I couldnt find any shift ***** that would work due to the reverse lockout, i purchased this ARC **** and put a nut on the shifter and the **** over and it covers the nut completly and tightens down all the way.
I then put my car back to stock for awhile trying to sell but then decided to keep the car and bought some 18x9 +35 RPF1's Locally and also added AVS visors and a J2 Engineering Exhaust which sounds AMAZING especially with the Manual transmission. I Purchased an authentic WALD front lip for $250 shipped and it had lots of cracks and chips. My buddy fixed and painted it for $200 and thats still $700 less than buying one at retail! Also bought a Paint Matched Wald Rep Wing.
More to come as it progresses!

No issues so far with the spacers, eventually want wheels that fit better without spacers.
Tires are 235/45/18
