Default Bye bye IS.....but hello to newer IS

It was sad that I had to let this baby go

2002 IS300 94,5xx miles



traded in yesterday at the dealership and got myself a newer IS..

2008 IS250 AWD 54,xxx miles


I know it's 4x4 status but I'm going to wait until spring season (within month or two) and start modding...possibly pick up BC coils, Tanabe medalion touring exhaust are ready to pick up this coming weekend. Fsport intake and wheels are coming soon.

I'm just tired of RWD and 5 speed manual. I have bad left knee and pushing clutch isn't helping me at all...especially, stupid traffic here in NOVA area. F that! I'm done with speed and just want to fix my ride look nice.

Nice pick up Jae. You may want to talk to Kris Becker at Gotoracingonline.com for parts. He really helped me out and has great customer service. He is a vendor on CL. His screenname is Gotoracing

I hear you. Im thinking of fixing the little gremlins that im having with my car and pick up an LS or something clean. that way i can do simple mods ie wheels and suspension. I dont have the time anymore to dump money into my car like i use too haha.
