Arrow Gio's Is300 Build


This is my 2003 is300. So far I have put on BC Racing coil-overs, TRD shift ****, Nardi steering wheel with NRG quick release, and swapped all interior lights for white ones. I have also changed the headlight housings and put in new yellow LED fog lights. I painted the taillights, put in a k&n air filter, and did all the maintenance, timing, water pump, cam gear, cam seals, valve cover gasket, etc.

My goal with this car is to make around 350-400hp, 370z cd009 manual swap, Kaas 1.5 differential, full vertex kit, cx racing turbo kit piping. Good turbo and wastegate. Polyurethane bushings(upgrade overall suspension)

Any suggestions will help.

Window tints were redone about a year ago along with replacement of the cam gear, cam seals, valve cover gasket, timing belt, water pump.

I'm just glad someone is doing maintenance first and more importantly putting center caps on RPF1s

Add fixing the sticky dash to your list when you're doing the manual swap. Welcome aboard!

I plan on restoring the dash and redying the interior black (door cards, headliner, etc) when I do the tranny swap and turbo setup. I should have time to do it while I wait for parts and machine work to be done.
