whats good folks, its been awhile. not new to CL by any means but I'm back in a lexus again haha. Sold my IS350 that i had all slammed and stanced out to get a more fun car so i went over to BMW and got an 08 E92 M3 with DCT. Enjoyed the hell out of that car until all the maintenance issues turned me off of it, so this week i traded it in and got an 08 ISF this go round.

happy to be back to say the least

Welcome back. Now other than maintenance issues, we need a comparison between the E92 M3 and the IS-F.

Yeah, I also wanna hear your thoughts on both cars. I'm always tempted to trade my ISF for an e92 m3 w/ dct (sedan or coupe).

Welcome back to Lexus & to the F.

See you still have your SW20. I also still have a '91 Mr2 turbo, just 300 horses but lots of handling mods.

Also up for comments on the V8 M3.

Welcome back to the 'F'amily!

If your IS350 is anything to go by, your F should end up being pretty special!

Make sure you start a build thread. Be interested to follow your developments, as you have a good eye for mods mate.

Enjoy the F, happy blend of your last two cars for sure.
