Default Just some random photo's of my IS300.

Hey guys. I'm not on here much, but I figured I'd post some pics up of My 2003 MSM IS300. It's a 5 speed as well.

*these are the worst pictures ever. I took them with my phone so please bare with me.

Mods;

-KW Variant 3 coilovers
-Koyorad radiator
-HKS timing belt
-DBA slotted rotors
-ADR Design staggered 18x8 front 18x8.5 rear custom painted wheels.
-B&M short throw shifter
-K&N drop in filter
-custom 3inch exhaust

Not much done yet, However I did buy another 2JZGE to start my turbo build on, so I cant wait to get started.

Pictures:






The motor I just got:

Looks clean! Nice to see another MSM 5 spd. How does the exhaust sound? Do u have it going to a muffler? I'm considering doing a 2.5 inch straight pipe to a vibrant muffler.

thanks for the compliments. The exhaust is really just axle back and I deleted a cat. Everyone says it sounds like a supra. lol Im currently looking for some more aggressive wheels though. these arent cutting it. lol

Funny thing is it fits better than the O.E. radiator. No modifications at all. Just bolt your fans to it.

Nice drop man but if you dont mind me asking, why did you buy another GE instead of just buying a GTE?

Question, what's the wheel size and offset you have? I'm looking up wheels and was wondering what offset to get. I like that yours aren't sunk.
