    picked up a lexus IS300 for 1450. parts to fix the car cost me 850.

    plans.
    first get car fixed and back on the road.
    suspension mods under body braces front and rear, STB. coilovers.
    flush and shift kit in tranny. Eshift 5speed.
    find bigger wheels. bolt pattern is 5x114.3

    tune intake and exaust for starters.







    now why so cheap?


    the frame isnt bent at all, the upper control arm took the brunt of the force. the underside is spotless and so is the interior.

    plus limited slip RWD rockss

    I like these cars, they have been at the top of my list for cars to look at from time to time.

    Nice pick up.

    so far i have the rear gutted i picked up a new door and quarter and will start pulling on it this week.

    for mods front and rear chassis braces, maybe coilovers? i drove my friends who has just eibach springs and tokico 5 ways.. it rides nice.

    ive been eyeing up single turbo kits.
    the car needs a subtle trunk lip and front lip for sure.
