  1. 400RWHP, I get 380RWHP, with the supra swap and just an AEM Computer at 16 pounds, then in the track, we raise 18.5 pounds and the tranny break down. If you change it to manual, the 5 speed just hold 600RWHP. now I have 520RWHP, with a manual 1JZ tranny, with the supra housing, and I´m having issues, so I already order a 6speed Japanese Supra, that holds 1000HP. If you can go with the 6speed, don´t waste time and money. like I did. Go to Titan motorsport and ask some advise about the 6speed swap.

    Just got into an '01 IS300 with everything but Nav... I like the car quite a bit but wondering how much the auto tranny can reliably hold before it has issues. I know on my old 3rd Gen Supra turbo it was about 300 whp before it gave up... similar here?

    If I could have found a manual in my area for the price I would have snagged it but it just wasn't an option so I'm stuck with what I have. Thanks for any input all!

    Thanks!

  2. Does anyone know whats the optimal stagger rim size for an IS300? I want to get some 18 inch rims but don't know how wide i can go with the rear without it sticking out of the rear fender. Also what about the tire size for the rear. If anyone has pictures of their IS300 with staggered 18 inch rims please show them and post the size of the rims and tires thank you.

    P.S. i'm not looking to make my car a "race car" i perfer clean and sexy :)

    Well, I´m on that mods too. I´m going on 7.5 front and 8.5 rear. some people tell me that I can go 8 and 9 and even 9.5 rear, but It will have positive Camber, and the inner side of the tire will be slick on few months.

    I´m going on 7.5 and 8.5 Axis super hiro, black with red lip, and 225/40R18 front and 245/40R18 rear on semi-slick tires for Street racing purpose.

  3. Well, I'm thinking in going staggered, but I use my car for drag race, I'm going to buy 18x7.5 or 8 front with 225/40R18 and 18x8.5 rear with 245/35 or 40R18..... if you don't have lot of HP, and you do not need grip, you can have 18 wheels not staggered, with your 225/40/18 so you can switch them front to rear without problems.

    If you like the racing look, go staggered, with 2 inchs lip.

  4. IS200 and IS300 used diferents springs rate, I have buy mine in TTE, Toyota Team Europe, they lower about 0.7 front and 1" rear, but with the supra engine, front lower about 1.3" and rear 1.2" perfect for daily driving, and feels like factory, no bounce at any speed. feels a little unstable when you pass 220km/h (130mph) but at that speed any car feels like that.

  5. Hello everyone.

    I have an Lexus IS200, I had a supercharger on it (by the way,is for sale) but I blow the tranny, and I want more power so, I made a supra swap, 2jzgte, with manual transmission, 5speed,(the 1jz transmission with the 2jz "envolvente" (I dont know how to say that in english)

    .................................................I spec to gain at least 550HP, because my tranny will break at 600hp....

    Then after that, 6speed upgrade, boost up to about 30-35 psi, to gain 750rwhp....

    But my problem is..... I NEED GRIP.....Even now with just 400RWHP my rear wheels slip like the track is wet. So I will buy new 18 wheels, but I need to know the offset and the size I need for this car. Also remember that this is my daily car.

    I´m thinking in Axis wheels, HIRO, 7.5 front, 8 or 8.5 rear.or Advan GSII or Works wheels..... tires 225/40R18 front, but rear I don´t know if 245/40R18 or 255/35R18 will fit. I´m sure that 235/40R18 fit perfectly.

    I now have Toyo Proxes4 tires, on OEM 17 wheels, 215/45R17.....I will buy BFGoodrich G-force T/A KDW 2...or Potenza RE070...or Nitto NT555....or Toyo Proxes T1-S......

    Please let me know any advice, tips or any kind of information that can help me. Specially with the tires and rims.
