Default A farewell and to Club Lexus

Some of you may know that I sold the IS350 about 1 month ago.

I think I have picked the correct buyer and he'll keep car in the spot light.

I'll still be around but I no longer own a Lexus. I'm going to spend a few years hooking up an S2000. My plan will be to wait and see if the IS-F makes it back out in 2015. Until then I just wanted a fun car to drive.

Here's a Video from this past weekend; it has both my old Lexus IS and my new project I started on about two weeks ago. (Silver S2000 on Takata wheels)


See ya!

Jeremy a.k.a HKS350

Mixed thoughts. I was kinda hoping to buy some parts of you but still glad to know that the car is intact. Good luck with the new ride

Would love to see the S get all the Spoon goodies. Did a silverstone build with my friend a couple years back and I loved that car. InlinePro Turbo Kit, Spoon body kit, sitting on Advans.

Sorry to see you go. I'll have to say THE baddest IS on CL ever! You always surprised us with your creative ideas and your out of the box thinking. Have fun with the S2K.

Sad to see OP (really should be OG) go...this vehicle, in its many transformations, have given me multiple ideas and pushed me to unintended limits with my own IS. The innovation and creativity have been unmatched, and I wish you well in future projects.

I have seen the vehicle at a couple local events already here in Atlanta, and at first was pumped to see this vehicle with a GA tag thinking the IS guru was in my area now...sadly, that is not the case as the current owner is probably not on CL and hasn't wanted anything to do with our local Lexus community. We have also heard some negativity with the current owner at a local Lexus dealer...

The most baddest IS ever. In most cases, when someone buys a built car then tend to mess it up. Hopefully this won't happen to the beautiful HKS350. I have high expectations for what your S2K is going to look like.

Your IS350 was pretty much the inspiration behind a lot of what I've done and what I have planned. I've seen your Lexus all over instagram lately, so i can tell the new owner is loving the car and proud of it.

Best of luck with the s2k and have fun building it up.

Thanks for the comments CL, I'd hope the new owner will move forward with the build on the IS. He had talks about S/Cing the car again and adding the Skipper front lip like I was going to do. I do think the new ower signed up on here, and he told me this past weekend he had to get alittle dirty with the Lexus dealer as he was trying to get the "Dash melting" issue fixed and they were giving him a hard time because it was modded. He's a pretty chill guy and had a sick S2k himself

I have to say that this forum always make's me feel at home and I'll be around.

The S2K is an in between car really. I got it completely stock a couple months ago and have had fun with my "mini build" so far. It will most likely get out of control as the IS did in the past.
