Hi all,
Currently new to the forum world but have been a part of a few as of late, and I have learned a great deal so I thought it would be good to join another one. I just recently picked up my 2002 IS300 the beginning of March and am very excited to get to work on it.
Here are a couple of shots of it!
In the first shot you can see the Prelude I upgraded from haha glad to be out of that scene! Hope to learn a lot from you guys and possibly add my .02 here and there

Thanks guys!
My plans right now are to get the car to 100%. The front bumper is broken because the lowering springs on it are a bit to low (not sure what brand springs are on it now) so I am going to change them to the Eibach pro kit since I want this to be my dd. Also the CEL is on due to the header and y-pipe, but the o2 sim should be here this week to eliminate that. Then I guess I will just finish the system with some subs and hopefully call it a day. But knowing me I get bored pretty quickly so I will probably be doing little things here and there.
jadu its the SRT intake w/chip.
Lexy602 you guys ever do any meets or cruises? PHX is where I bought the car, I am in Tucson so not too far.

nice, saw that car listed and it has some nice parts. I like the rims, was thinking about getting something like that and selling my Sport design one. Congrats on the purchase.
Thanks! It was between this one and a yellow 5 speed at a dealership here in Tucson, but they wouldn't come off the price of the 5 speed even after showing me videos of the idiots that work there drifting the car all over and beating the crap out of it. That Supra is in Tucson^? Sick looking!
yeah the supra is in Tucson. Your better off with the IS you bought, lets trade rims lol.
Lol the rims are pretty much my favorite part of the car so I will pass on that one unless you wanna throw the Supra in on the deal LOL! I may be better off with this IS, but there is a lot more work to do on it than I thought there would be. I have never been in an automatic that stalls so there is something strange going on.

your torque converter is going out or it was installed wrong, if the trans has never been apart that means that the converter is locking/unlocking when it is not surpose to.Originally Posted by newie11

Thanks guys! And thanks LS400 that makes a lot of sense! It has been bugging the crap out of me! Now I know what it will take to get it fixed... I appreciate it!
