Default My SP 08 ISF finally.....

Hi guys, its official.

I took delivery of my starfire pearl ISF earlier today. I have not driven it very far, but I will go through my temp cycle break in, and then off to the dyno. Look for Carson Toyota the have some goodies in the near future.

Nice! I love that color. You gotta get rid of those temp. plates ASAP. They are wack. They make the whole car look crooked

What happened to that IS300?

Jeez. those dealer plates make the car look awkward & crooked..I thought they mounted the bracket wrong. Looks GREAT in starfire btw..love my starfire pearl as well. too bad it's got 200hp less.

Congrats Fig!!!

Looks like we both retired our IS300's the same way...

Parts are "brewing" as I type this.....

Yeah not much time to strip off the dealer ish, but it struck me the same way. Give me a few days to get used to it...I had to have a few virgin pics before I dig in.
Ryan, I would drive it down but my schedule is tight. I am sure I will have it up over 1K miles in now time.

Congrats on buying the best color IS-F! I am really looking forward to your contributions on the F scene.

Tell us more, tell us more...what do we have to look forward to here? Please tell me a set of coilovers.

Its being stripped tomorrow. Then plasma cut into parts I can continue to develop off. Parting out the GTE motor, coilovers, brakes, ...all of it.

Stunning car man!

Oh that's a gorgeous part of town as well, where's it located?

I ask b/c my father has a spot out in Woodland Park, CO and I absolutely LOVE visiting out there.

Congrats on your new purchase.

Lovely car.....are you going to take off the dealer sticker though? It seems to look quite out of place.
