Question Newbie on Board!! Need help!!

Looking to get me a Lexus Is300 I love the reliability, performance, and looks to the car . My only problem with it is that I test drove a couple and more power would be good. What simple jobs do you suggest I do to improve on the 215hp car and im trying to have it reach up to 250 to 260hp? I am not trying to mess with the motor. And what can you suggest for the snow cause I heard nothing but nightmares for them and the snow button isn't going to help much I currently drive a 97 civic so this is a huge upgrade for me and I know I'm loosing out on gas mileage and drivability in the snow.

Well, search and read in terms of what mods to do. This isn't a civic so just bolt ons will not get you that goal of 250-260, especially if it's auto (5spd is possible but takes a lot of $$$$). Just use the search and check out my.is. You will need snow tires and the trick is to drive with the trac off and snow on.

Good luck.
