Hello!
I think I did an intro post all ready. So I'll skip all of that.

Here is my IS. Auto trans :cry: .
Sorry for the iPotato pictures. It's all I have for now.

So far, I've spent quite a bit on getting it mechanically sound. That's what I get for buying a car sight unseen from a dealership 7 hours away in a different state. Oh well, I still love the car.

Here is a list of the things I had done so far:
timing belt/water pump replacement
ps pump replaced
evap vent solenoid replaced
rear pads replaced
valve and gasket replaced
lower timing cover replaced
new cam seals
reluctor wheel replaced
full ac replacement
alignment
new serpentine belt
new intake filter
new rad cap
new cabin filter
I'm probably forgetting some things, I'll have to check when I get home later.

I would like to replace the fuel pump and MAF plug/pigtail before winter hits. The fuel pump is pretty noisy.

As far as modifications, I have been reading on here, and it seems like the basic I/H/E mods would kind of be in vain. So I may hold off on those for now and just focus on the suspension. I'm hoping to get Airlift suspension, along with pretty much any brace I can get my hands on.
I would also like to get a set of Altezza fenders with the side markers to go with them. Then either a lip or some sort of decent front and rear bumper covers. I'd also like to get a clean up and respray on the whole car. Then further down the road, cf hood and trunk lid. Then even further down the road, a 2jzgte swap. But we will see what happens.
