My 11' is one of my all time favorites and always will be Especially after RCB did the headers/exhaust for me. That being said I have zero regrets moving on to the Nissan....though it would be nice to have the Nissan and Lexus ��

I remember this MRM. So many nice mods, many of which a lot of IS Fs I know have. The PPE/Joe Z comes to mind, and I remember reading your thread and I could really feel how powerful this specific combo was, and it prompted me to gather the parts for my own build. A very well done ride you had, and since that time, there is that tuning option. It does pick up some HP and a a little bit more torque.

Best of luck on the search, and it goes without saying....welcome back!

WOW! Thank you so much all for the warm welcome back (well not quite yet but I am looking). I do remember this being a great group on this forum!

I will keep you guys posted on my search and I will be lurking to see what has been going on with the ISF as far as mods, etc...

And yes MYISF (see below on the left) was a very nice MRM ISF...I did a lot to that car and it was MINT...I cannot stress enough how much I miss it...oh and BTW I traded it in for a 2009 911 C4S at the time (see below on the right)

Hey man thanks and I recoginzed you and your car as I have been cruising around the forums. It is good to be back...well hopefully if and when I find the right car. I think this time I want to go with something other than Matador Red...but I guess it will depend on what I find.

I have found a 2011 Metallic Silver here locally with around 53K miles...looks in very good condition in the pics. I may go look at it this weekend? I also see one or two I may be interested in the forum FOR SALE section???

What year did they install the LSD...I thought it was 2011?

Hope to be back soon but this time maybe mods will only include clear bra, Joe Z exhaust (does he still exist?) and stance (wheels and springs)??? But we will see...LOL

I just realized you're in Arizona (was on my phone last night). If you're looking at 2011s and not just 2012+ I have a 24k one I have listed right now. You may have seen it out there on the for sale. Located in East Mesa.

I'm actually going to check out a 09 V black on black automatic sedan tomorrow because I want more power, but reading this post is making me think twice about it. Lol

Traffic is a pain regardless if you have manual or automatic. I always leave late and haven't seen a day in traffic for past 7 years. Feels great starting a day with some spirited performance driving, rev matching etc ))

All decent deals, nothing overly exciting though. How bad is the minor damage on #3? Use the damage as a bargaining tool to knock off $1k or 2.
All very low mileage cars. I would aim for #1 if they could work with you and do 1 or 2k off.
