Default First IS300!!!! Super amped

Hey guys.... well i'm a car ***** lol. Have had about 7 cars in the past year; wrx, a4, sc400, talon tsi awd, rx8, turbocharged miata. Anyways I loved the luxury and style of the 300 I traded my 02 wrx for an 02 is300 manual. The car has full coil overs, led tail lights, and an exhaust. For now i'm going to delete the third car and resonator, drive it for a bit and do the gte swap unless someone can talk me into turbocharging the ge. Mark my words I will have a manual gte swap in before next summer, I want to blow the oem engine so I can have an excuse to swap it lol. I feel that will be very hard to do considering this thing has 180k on the clock and drives like brand new.

I sold my Miata to get my IS, it's a pretty good trade up.

I agree. I was thinking of doing the same until I did some research. You have to do a lot of modifications.
