Default Hello

I just bought a used 2006 IS 250 AWD with the Premium package. The purchase was based on the Build Rep, Style and gas savings over my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder.

I have owned a few cars in the recent past including the Nissan 300 TT / 350Z and the Supra TT (converted to single T). The question I have for this section is what is the mod-ability of the 205 HP V6 in the IS250?

Since these are so new there does not appear to be a slew of info on modifications for speed and performance.

Anyways, glad to be here and looking forward to the ride.

Take a look around at some of the past threads. Youll see that yea theres some stuff out there (the usual for a brand new car), like intakes, headers, exhaust, lowering kits, rims galore. But you wont find a wide array of parts beyond those common ones. Not yet anyway. Dont worry, they are coming!

Of course you are going to be getting better gas mileage with a sedan with a small engine over an suv!

unless, of course, you get the escape hybrid.

Jeez, you've got a lot of cars . . .

I might have missed a few (Performance) mods but at the top of my head, that's what I can rattle off

Hope this helps somewhat . . .
