HUSTLER

no personal experience but from wat i've heard from everyone is that u cant go wrong with toyomoto. they have some good products and they do a good install as well.

well, according to the test drives and all the news by some magz..and Top gear as well...the RX-8 beats the E46 on the track...which obviously means Better performance More power then the is300 Better handling as far as looks..its all everyones personal prefs..i personaly like both but if i had to make a choice for a "sports car" i would def go for the RX-8. as far as rear seats are concerned..the is def has a lil more room then the RX-8. but this is a comparison for stock to stock cars....if u go aftermarket....the RX-8 will def eat dust by the is. Reliability wise...def the is will win and road noise..has a lot to do with the type and make of tires on the car...but the is prolly has less road noise as to the RX-8. and in the end...safety...i would vote for the IS. Bottom line RX-8 is def a better over all performance car out of the box but u have to take other factors in consideration as well. just my 02 Good luck

the stock intake in ur car IS A COLD AIR intake WITH some restrictions. u can use a drop in filter and it'll help a bit but unfortunately most of the after market intakes available for our cars are short ram or warm air intake in other words. i m tryin to make a custom CAI, will post pics once done. goodluck

i'll take one of ur questions . The engine is actually 2JZ-GE as compare to the supra which is 2JZ-GTE. To build an engine that can handle the same power as a GTE., yes, u'll need the TT internals. A few ppl have done the conversion and in fact One of our members is in the process of doing the conversion. i suggest u go through his post. i'll try to find it for u.

Turbo is the way to go.

here u go. this is the one mentioned above thats made by TTE. http://www.dreamtrade.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaB...;num=1037820741 herez the one built by Rod Millen http://web721df.ntx.net/Is430.htm both are sweet.

srt is good if u get it with the race ecu, otherwise its just a regular intake. if u plan to add headers later on, get the srt intake with the race ecu and also the safc to achieve max power. good luck

nice. i've seen it before. wats the cost?

made by RMM.

damn thats sweet. i wonder how much u have spent on this thing already. i m impressed.

05 is300 wont be a whole new body style just slightly different then the current one. dont expect a whole different car. personally, i would go a head and trade in the es300 for a 04 is300 in a blink. u wont regret it. trust me. ;) and there isnt any coupe or convertible comin for the is300. its just rumours.

sorry to hear dat man.

if u can afford the maintainance, keep the s4. There is no comparison between a S4 and an is300. Both are great cars in their own classes. It also depends on how much you are into modifications and stuff...!!!!!

comparable cars dont always have comparable values. the car isnt worth that much u can defenetely find a better one. dont waste ur time on this one and have a lil patience when lookin for a car. u may regret later one. but if u really dont have any patience and u just "WANT A CAR RIGHT NOW"..then......ask him if he takes 20. i wouldnt pay more then that. and just to help u out, here is a tip, Take the car to a lexus dealership and have em do a complete check includin body and engine. They will be able to tell u about everysingle piece that needs to be repaired or replaced. thats how u can really get to know a lotttt more about the car then just lookin at it and information provided by the seller. tell the seller that u will buy the car if there arent too many problems with it and u'll also pay for the diagnostic lexus performs on ur car (around $200 or so),......however, if there toooo many problems with the car, then u wont buy it and HE will have to pay for the lexus diagnostic check. u can also use all those problems lexus discovers as a bargain to make a good deal and lexus will also tell u the cost of repair. so use it for ur benefit. hope that helped.

NO. IMO

this was prolly one of my first posts when i bought the is. i've been to the track SEVERAL times now and i kinda know what my car can do now. :) i'll post my latest vdo as soon as i get some time.

what other options are you lookin at..!! bmw.. 3 series..!!! TL....or wat..!!! over all is300 is a nice car not that coz own one but it has most of the things someone in the 20's or 30's would want in a car...includin nice handlin....very very much potential in the engine (since its a 2JZGE...in other words a supra engine...non turbo ofcourse) and the interior is also stylish and different AND there aren't too many of em out there as to beamers and acura's etc. If you are looking for a very luxury car..i woulnt recomend it and if you are looking for a true sports car.......i wouldnt recomend that either....HOWEVER..if you are looking for a mixture of both and you like working on your car...meanin doin modifications and stuff...this car is a wonderful project to work on and it'll reward your input in true meanings to every single mod you'll do to it as compare to ANY other cars out there today. and NO..its NOT a girlish car BUT it does attract girls though B) just my 2 cents.

any good tint shops in dc/md/va..!!! The place i got my Si and prelude tinted is closed now. It was in woodbridge,va and called Eastcoast trendz or something like that. They charged me around $160 or so and did a pretty good and satisfactory job with a life time warranty (lol..being closed down now). but the tint never fainted or anything. still looks great. as to options. what kind of tint are u exactly looking for..!! they will tint your windows with ANY color that u ask em too besides the fact how it'll look on ur car. what color is ur is:snoooorrrtttt:

hey all, could anyone provide some info on the best scratch removers..!!! would be helpful in here. i use mcguire or however u spell it for waxing my car and stuff and it works great since all u gotta do is spray and wipe.

sure. lets see how many ppl are interested in this..!!! and then we can figure out a date that'll work. anyone else in DC/VA/MD area..!!! i m in springfield,va btw.

hey all, Anyone planning any meet in the DC/VA area since its the end of the summer...!!! or is there a special section on the website about meets and i cant find it.? it would be nice to have one in this wonderful weather these days.

i would say its an ok deal. since this is the value the car has in market with around 30k miles on it. i myself, however was lucky to find one for 21 with all the options, clean title, one owner and only 18k miles on it. welcome aboard and enjoy ur new ride.

uurrrghhhh...the fog light q has been deleted from the is300.net. could someone help me on this one again pllzz. thanx a bundle <_<

hmmm, it LOOKS like that over there the Is comes with factory installed clear side signal lights on the front fenders..!!! correct me if i m wrong. damn NZ is beautiful. Nice cars.

this should answer your question and btw, i m proud of my car AND YES, i STILL like the ability to drift when "needed".IMO take it easy.
