I used the search engine. I got the entire section several times, but didn't found any thread for our favourite car.
Feel free to post pictures of your personnal IS200-300 (sporcross or not), and Altezza (accepted) pics. Feel free to explain your mods and wheel setups (because I know this is an often asked question).

If you allow myself to do so ; I will allow to start with mine. Mine is a bone stock 2002 IS300 Sportcross. I will, for the moment, use the garage's images, because they where taken with a good machine and a good light. Will add new pictures myself later, when the new wheels have been installed. Lexus IS300
What I like with our favourite daily, is the fact that it olds so well. When I'm looking to your picture, I see a 200k miles car beeing absolutely spotless.
I just come out of an ownership of a very common Seat Ibiza. That thing was literally loosing his lacquer and started to rust in every corner at 100k miles.
My 2003 Civic...I mean IS300 with 135k
I/H/E, Wald replica kit (thanks deer #1), VIS hood (thanks deer #2), 19x8s I think. I've had it for so long I forget the little details!
Love this car!!! Fell in love with them ever since one of my buddies got one. Currently around 135k miles. Other than needed to change a radiator and clutch nothing bad about her. Needs a few TLC touches left from previous owners nothing serious just been procrastinating about it, but plan to fix them after my deployment ends. Thinking about doing a na-t swap, heard the stock trans is iffy for boosting. Can seem to find any tips on good manual trannys that'll hold about 400hp other than the w58 I believe it was? Not wanting to go too deep in my pockets so anything that bolts up and holds up for a good price will be nice, any tips?
I'd start a new thread. IPT can build an A650E transmission for you but 3rd gear sprague is still weak. There is _****ery_ involved if you want to turbo a GE motor and keep the auto trans. If you swap it I think you will lose your traction control unless you use an alternate strategy setup in a standalone. If you don't care about your gauges and lights in your dash operating properly anymore then you can put a GTE motor in it. That's what most people do to turbo these cars I think.

Lol my bad I wasn't paying attention when I put a650e, my car is the 5spd (the w55 if I'm being correct?) But I still hear those arent the best for anything past like 300hp
