woah yeah the cloth seats are pretty rare, I have only seen a couple and mostly in like Europe never seen one in person, question for you with that steering wheel is your air bag light on? and if not did you use a delete for it? And is that you posing in front of your car?

Welcome Back! Car looks great!

I was going to say, nice Work Equip wheels but then I read your description saying they're Ray Sebrings. They're nice wheels nonetheless

Very interesting... never seen cloth in any IS...

Also, 6766... I start my car with a 6765 for the first time on monday when the last part comes in for it... Wonder how spool will be on the smaller motor...

How's the R154 holding up? shifting very notchy at all? I've been contemplating the swap for some time and hear "horror" stories about how bad they shift and "80s dump truck" shifting feel...

Yeah the cloth is a little strange hah...

But the r154 is holding up well with the is, I also have an r154 in my sc300 that is putting 700 hp at the wheel ...so yes in my experience with them they are good transmissions. But the secret is to make sure you always use redline mt-90 or they will shift like an 80s dump truck lol

Here in Europe it is very common that the seats are with cloth.. But it might be because there is so many IS200's.. They are kind of a cheap model of the IS300.. It is basically the same car, but with a smaller 6 cylinder engine and cheaper seats

It'll probably handle a little better and hook better if it was raised up a little... but it looks good though...
