Some of my other current rides:





Newest toy in the stable




It's pretty much stock other than suspension and the HKS exhaust(and the obvious body kit/wheels). Please excuse how dirty it is, I had to take half a day off work to go get all the paper work done and then it started raining on my way back to the office. Once it's cleaned up I'll update the thread. The mesh stuff is the 1st things to go though.

I'm thinking about getting a "max air box" kind of like what we have for the Supra made for it. It will be used for mock up of turbo kits ect ect but I mainly just wanted a dependable, nice looking, daily so no FI until it's paid off. My 240 spun a rod bearing at TX2K8 and my previous daily was a 99 Civic beater. I didn't want some lame car as my only means of transportation so it was time to upgrade and what what better than a Lexus .

Thanks, sadly the 240 is going to be in storage for a while . I was averaging right at $300 a week on mods for the past 2 years and once it blew up I realized I could of had a really nice car. I love the 240 but there's nothing like the comfort of a Lexus.

Thanks!!

My house is literally only half a mile or so from MVP so I'm glad I won't be racking up the miles on the IS.

Car looks good. I like the wheels and the stance on that IS.
