With the rarity of our cars and the popularity of this forum, I've been wanting to start a "sightings" section for awhile, specifically for the IS-F. This should be another great way to bring the forum closer and share some more stories. Let's use the format of the other succesful "sightings" threads from other forums.

* Vehicle Description
This afternoon on Sunday 19th around noon I was getting off the 5 freeway in Orange County off Tammarack Avenue and I heard a car zoom by me with a whistling sound. I caught a glimpse of something blue and immediately thought it was an STi, I was wrong! It was an Ultrasonic Blue IS-F. As he drove by he gave me a thumbs up so I caught up to him to chat. Well the whistling sound was his Artisan Twin Turbo setup!!! It sounded freakin awesome on that car!! He was from L.A. and a way cool guy - after hearing that turbo on his car, it definitely is making me look into one now!
I heard the turbo system doesn't run that well because we can't tune the car?
I asked him if he had any problems with it and he said he has had a few, but nothing major within the 10k miles he has had it. He said one problem was just a small saudering issue.

lol it is for an IS-F cause there is barely anything to do to our cars!!
Op, did u ask the price of his set up? I'm sure it was not economical. Did he do a dyno? When does his turbo kick in? I had a friend. With a tt set up. He sold his cause it was not as fun as a stock f. Tt took too long to kick in. Said he would get beat from stop light to stop light.
