I just got my IS about 3 weeks ago, and finally got around to pming moderators to get my registration fixed. I've been lurking for 3 weeks though .

So, like the title says I just got my first IS300 a few weeks ago. It's an '01 with lotsa' goodies on it, and has 98,000 miles. Which I know is a lot for an '01, but it's a toyota, right?

Anyways, I came from an S2k, and ended up wrapping it around a pole over memorial day weekend by being stupid and shifting hard in the middle of a sweeping left. But things have been settled and I'm very happy with my recent purchase:

Now the good stuff! My new IS:









Let me know what you guys think!

Wow looking good. Did you buy the IS with the turbo and all the other stuff already done to it.

 

Welcome, nice IS!

 

Yeah. I actually bought it from a member on my.is (well he was on the forums but I found it through CL). He was a true enthusiast, that's why I was more comfortable buying with all the stuff on it.

 

Welcome to Clube Lexus! That's one sweet lookin' ride you got there

 

Sweet buy on a sweet ride. Welcome to the group and cant wait to see how you personalize the car.

 

nice car! any numbers on the car?

 

The guy who had it before me had it tuned right before he sold it. And running off the wastegate at like 10psi it was making around 250 to the wheels? When I get a turbo timer and boost controller, I'm going to get it retuned. But for 10psi that sounds a little low? Any input?

 

i think ive seen that is around before...how long have u owned it?

 

3 weeks. About. The guy before me owned it since day one. but he was mainly in SJ.

 

Welcome to CL, congrats on the new purchase! Don't wrap this one around a pole
