I don't have a IS yet but come spring if selling my car goes well I'll do a crazy photoshoot with my new found IS buddy fabrolous. Small world to find another wininpeger on these boards.

venZon

That's my friends DC2... Forgot what motor he dropped in there? Recaros, Gram lights, BFG sponsor, ICE, TEIN SS, and a bunch of other stuff. He's put about $25 000 into her.

Old pictures



Don't mind the all stickers he had some sponsors and a friend with a decal machine. Loaded her up for a car show for fun.

Woot Woot! Car is sold!!!!

I will officially be a ISX50 Owner soon!


Pic of the ride the day before I sold her.


Noob question but what is the bolt pattern for the wheels?

So do have your eye on a specific IS ??? .... i assume you don't want to wait to order one. Been a nice price drop in Canada this year so your getting in at the right time!

Yeah that's what peaked my interest. I heard about the price drop and the interest rates are pretty low.

It's either I go new IS250 RWD or used IS250 AWD/IS350. I want to buy a house soon so trying to keep my car payments as low as possible. If I want new I'm going to have to wait till July because that's when I can get a Starfire Pearl one. I have my heart set on white.

My friend work at a dealership and said they can track down used cars from the US and import it up for me as well. Plan to see him this week. Hopefully I can end up with a used IS350. If not a new is fine with me.


I don't mind the wait. Rolling around in my mom's 1996 Corolla now. But when my Girlfriend lets me I use her 08 Subaru Forester. =)



Trying to convince her to let me drop it and throw on some rims.


Having her car makes me not think about not having mine anymore =(

Welcome to CL, you take good pics!

venZon

Put a down on a IS250 6MT!!!! Get it in July. Had to have white!

Lex Law

Smaller engine and no AWD. I don't recall anyone recommending that. Did you just go for price (and color)? I hope you don't mind asking her for a lift when the drifts blow.

venZon

Yes Price was a big factor. I'm planing on building a house and starting a family soon. If my moms 96 corolla with crappy all season can survive through winter i'm sure with good winter tires I'll be fine.

Plus my girl friends has a 2008 forester X for the bad days in winter


If all I cared about was power and AWD I would have gotten a STi or legacy spec B instead.

Don't think I didn't listen to any of your advice. I looked fore used but with the finance right now and the deal the dealship made me I couldn't pass it up. And no way am I leasing.

Drop and rims indeed

Cant wait for some photoshoots when you get your car! You are good with the camera!

Thanks for sharing!

venZon

Thanks for the coments. I'm still new to the digital SLR world just got my XTi in march. I havea long way to go.

Can't wait to shoot the IS. The lines on the car are sexy!

here's some I did for friend





What are some small mods I can look into? Like red out tails and things like that?

Mister T

Congrats on your soon-to-be Lexus owning status. You are going to love the interior of these cars. Sounds like a 250 will fit you fine if HP is not a must, plus you'll get better MPGs. As for small mods, changing your lighting to LEDs is a cheap, easy, and looks nice. Oh and by the way, nice Impreza. Some really well done photography.

venZon

Yeah sort of sad to see her go. I planed to do I full STi swap motor/brembos/6MT. Well time to move on to bigger and better things.

venZon

Well picked her up today!!!! So far I love it!

I brought my SLR camera but forgot the memory card!!!!
