i just purchaced my dream car an04 IS 300 in december and i like the power it has and it is a daily driver i have some experience to modifing cars and i would like to do the work myself. the previous car i had was a honda, i was satified but i wanted more. i am hesitant on purchasing aftermarket parts and want to get the most bang for my buck. you could say i am trying to do research before i do anything. i am sure you guys and girls get this a lot but what kind of basic mods can i do to get more power out of my bone stock 5 speed IS. Any recommendations are welcome.
Thanx

The basics...intake, headers, exhaust. Just do a few search queries here on CL or even IS300.net and you'll get alot of answers. And no, there are no chip upgrades for any Toyota/Lexus ecu. Good Luck!

You can check out the for sale forums in clublexus and is300.net. There are good deals that occasionally pop up. PM me if you would like to talk mods. I'll be an srt intake and apex'i exhaust for sale soon.
