Default GS400 engine in an IS...WICKED

Moderators may move this to the IS forum. But since it's heart is a GS400 I thought it could post here too... http://superstreetonline.com/feature...30_0504_is300/

Hi BM, yes this belongs in the IS forum.

The link you posted doesn't work, can you please update it?

There are LOTS of threads on the IS430 including both the TTE versions from Europe, the Rod Millen version and a couple of individual owners who have done the swap (at least one is a member of this forum)

It's being abbreviated by this post for some reason??
The link should read "http://superstreetonline.com/featuredvehicles/130_0504_is300/"...copy it without the quotes to your web browser URL window and go.

Link works for me even in abbreviated form. (And it is not RMM or TTE.)

Looks like you got it to work... it was being abbreviated due to the way you copy / pasted it.

More pics of that same IS in this thread towards the end. Nice article, thanks for posting it

Wow the next step is to take one of these IS300's past the 1000hp level.
