Hey guys new guy lol but I need some opinions. I have bein around lexus my whole life and that's all I rep I have a chance on buying 03 IS but my freinds keep telling me to get s14 and put the rest of the money into it and boost it they say its cheaper. Is it cheaper what should I do

 

&#($ your friends, get a lexus lol

 

Seriously.....are you really asking this question. If you have been wanting to buy an IS and you finally have the chance.....why back out of it? Just because what your friends are saying? If you really want one...then get it and save up for boost! Don't rely on what your buddies want you to do....do what you want!

GL with decision....and post pics when you buy your IS!

 

Man Up and buy the IS, it's your money and your life. I've never listened to my friends about a car purchase, they never offered to help pay for it !!

 

also, you ARE on a website specifically for lexus owners and really the only people that get on here are hardcore lexus enthusiasts so what did you think we would pick?

 

Lol ya guys are right I mean My whole family had my dad has is350
And my mom drives the is250. But it wasn't that I was listening to them
I wad thinking speed and cheaper but out were I live I've never seen a boosted
Is do u guys no around how much it would be

it depends what your set up would be, its hard to really put a price range unless we know what you have in mind

 

boosting an IS is def more expensive that boosting an S-14

what's more important to you?

it will take more time and money but boosting the IS is a possibilty

i had an S-14 in japan and now i bought my IS cuz frankly
the cost of the S-14 in the states are overpriced

 

If it's a tough choice, you might not need to consider it in the first place. People who own an IS love their IS, it's unique and unlike anything else out there. It's expensive as hell to work on and modify, but we do it because we love them. If you just want a bottle rocket strapped to a chassis, look elsewhere.

 

lol man i love lexus thats all i rep down here. But i just wanna **** on people down here with
there fried rice hondas. and i prolly just want the normal exhaust,intakes, prolly a small turbo t25 coil overs normal ****. but they are nothing like anything out there and its a 4 door =). and the other problem i had to was trying to find one in manual around my area and not drive like 400 miles to get one. and if i did get an automatic how would u be a tranny swap?
thanks guy for the help it means a lot.

 

I don't think you should get either one, If you want to rep lexus, and want boost, get a SC300 that has a turbo or 1JZ swap already, you can find them for under $10k, there were two in Florida on ebay recently.

 

I agree.....its expensive as hell but you know what.....its worth it in the end
when the first IS came out....i never thought i would ever own it...but i got 1 of my dream cars

 

See the problem here is that we cannot make a decision for THEM. You need to buy your car and spend your money for YOU.

Secondly you should know the IS needs to be auto for boost. You'll tear the 5 speed into pieces in a week.

 

What you mean bro it'll tear up the 5 speed I get the cluth tearing but then u just get
Stage 2 or 3 so it dosnt slip and I no the stock cluth can't handle it. Somthing I don't no
About the 5 speed
