I found the site for Toyomoto: http://www.toyomoto.com/is300.htm They have some pretty sick stuff but I hope you have $$ to spare. The IS300 engine is essentially the same as the Supra engine so it defenitely has potential but at a cost since there are no twin turbo IS300's. Good luck

I'm new to the Lexus scene but try Toyomoto...Good luck

BTW, Isn't the IS300 in the mid to lower $30's? That would make it similarly priced but more expensive to up the performance. 03 Cobra: $34K + <2K = 460+ HP 03 IS300: $30-$34 + $12.5K (stage2)= 450 HP Dont get me wrong, I really like the IS300 which is why I'm in the market. If I wanted to spend that much money on one of my cars, it would be a Kenne Bell blower for $4K and 600+ streetable HP and buy a grocery getter with the extra $$. I'd much rather have the IS300 and a 460 HP Cobra though.

So far, the Cobra is at roughly $36000 total invested. Keep in mind that purchasing the Cobra involved no logic except the fact that I wasn't born the last time you could buy a Mustang with 390 HP out of the box. So you might say that I was buying a piece of history. This brings me to the IS300 issue. I'm trying logic now that I satisfied my impulse habit.

Really??? I had no idea it had the Supra engine. I love Supras especially the TT's or the single turbo'd ones. They are simply amazing. While doing some research, I ran across Toyomoto and they had turbo kits but they were almost the price of a new IS300. Anyway, thanks for the info and keep'em coming.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and recently got an 04 RX330 for family duty. While at the dealership, I noticed the IS300. I've always liked the look of them and after sitting in one, I'm considering getting one for a commuter. Are they reliable and how's the aftermarket availability? I'm new to Lexus but not to performance. I have a modded 03 Cobra that's getting more and more modded so I'd like to have something more comfy and economical for commuting duty yet still be able to mod it too keep the M3's, M5's and Z06's in line like the Cobra does. I'm hooked on Lexus and would like to expand my inventory. Any info would be appreciated.
