Old member, new to the IS300
Hi guys,
Been a member since 01 when I had a LS400, sold that a long time ago and got into other cars, recently I purchase a IS300 Sport Design as a DD. The car was in rough condition, spent a few days cleaning things up and replacing parts with OEM ones, so far everything is done except for the leather itself, there is a rip in the passenger seat from the previous owner putting something on it.
Glad to be back in a Lexus, most of all I am glad to pick up another car with a 2jz in it from the factory (even if it is only a GE).
*So far I clean up the paint, the car was respray OEM Lexus black metallic over the factory black, this was done by the previous owner. Lifetime warranty and such on the paint, it looks good but the shop did not do such a good job with taking parts off and masking, trying to clean it up.
*Smoked the front side markers
*Respray OEM 17's gunmetal
*Fluid change, oil, trans, diff.
*Had some ghey autozone shift ****, replace with ISF carbon/leather shift ****
*some other minor work
Over all the car is in good shape, just the seats are bugging me but Im not sure if I will replace them.
Here is the other 2JZ-GTE
94 Supra, Single, Meth Injection, 550+rwhp.

Thanks. The IS3 is staying mostly stock, don't think ill drop it or wheels, exterior is pretty much done except for a front lip. It is a DD so nothing too crazy, that's what I have the Supra for. Over all im happy wit the way he car looks, about two days of clean up work and resto im satisfied, for now lol. You never know, I do have enough parts to go NA-T so maybe if the wife let's me lol.

I never like the convertible Supra either, good thing they never made one. I love my targa top however.
