Well. I always wanted these cars. But Figured never could afford it. Anyways I sold my Miata to my friend. And I now have this

2002 is300
red on black leather
139k
5 speed manual transmission
open diff which will soon be welded after I buy a spare.
Tanabe madalian exhaust
trd intake

plans:
Yakima bike rack for my bmx bike
stance coils
aggressive wheels 18 inch. Low offsit and wide.
lip kit
custom vinyl
I'm painting the car white if I get a ticket in this car. I hate red.

and tonight I just installed my old wheels

Anyways, here is pictures from when I got the car and pictures of tonight with my old wheels. It should be hellaflush status when I go coilovers very soon.









my stern wheels 18x8.5 20 et 225/40/18 and 18x9.5 25 et 255/35/18















enjoy

Looks good. Definitely needs a drop with them wheels. Maybe stick with stocks until you get coilovers.
You will need to roll your fenders and get some super stretch tires. Other than that, cant wait to see it on coilovers.
