Any guys in the STL area with a IS300? I want to see one in person but having a hard time finding one to look at.
Sorry, not in St. Louis, but if you are ever this way (Sedalia), I'd be more than happy to take you for a ride in mine... Warning though, in stock form, they are kinda slow and boost gets addicting...
^^^I am all about the auto these days but this is going to be a drift car and I want my kids to learn how to drive a manual. I have looked at the r154 swaps and found that guys are now looking at the AR5 as the new r154. One guy is planning on his AR5 swap in Oct. I also came across this cryo freezing thing that Im looking into. Do you know anything about the cryo thing...forgot the technical name?

the AR5 does look enticing... still an expensive (albeit cheaper) swap... couple things to work out - shifter location and a driveshaft, but both should be able to be figured out...
cryo-treating is a process that makes metal more durable and wear resistant by super cooling the metal parts... unfortunately, it isn't a fix for anything, especially weak transmission designs, but, it can help with parts longevity

O...my initial understanding was that it was a way to beef up the trannyto handle more hp.
