Long time Enthusiast, new member - 2JZGTE Swapped Auto-manual converted IS300 Sleeper
I built this car to be my daily driver, and to this day (2 years after its build), still a daily driver. Gas mileage is about the same as a stock IS300 when you stay out of boost - 16-22mpg. It used to be automatic as you can see the buttons on the steering wheel still. I've always been a function over form type of person so please don't mind the boring exterior, I must say though, the car is great for cruising "undercover" and not being harassed by police or other idiots on the road. It can be very fun when you want it to as well, i.e. crushing your friend in a L. Gallardo. Last but not least, my favorite thing about the car - all the factory options work, including AIR CONDITIONING!
