I have always had a soft spot for the IS300, nice find OP.

Congrats I got mine just a couple months ago, for the price one of the best cars out there...

I'll be doing coil overs eventually. I want to beef up the sound, get some new wheels, and a couple other things first.

If your stock rims are in good shape I'd be interested in them when you make the switch..

They are a 7/10. Small Marks on em, no major curb rash.

Haven't decided if I'm gonna keep em and put snow tires on them yet.We are expecting now in a couple days here in CO so we will see how they hold up.

And well.. I want to try to the snow button lol

I turn my snow button on down here sometimes so I can see the symbol on the dash..

Do you actually feel a difference in throttle response. It's SUPPOSED TO make the throttle response less responsive and shift at a lower RPM, just like the ECT is supposed to make it more responsive.

I may be picking up a beater FWD daily because my jeep is so uncomfortable to drive.


I think this coming week I'll be finishing off the stereo, and holding off on lowering it til Spring

These pretty reliable cars? I've always liked the IS300s too.

I have the same question, I have heard they are but have never owned one personally.

Yes. On the forums PLENTY of people have 200k + on theirs and a couple with 300.

It's just non turbo 2jz-GE motor.

If maintained it will last.

There's a couple guys running around with 100k on their turboed ones.

Way more 2jz-gte swapped IS300's running around than I thought

Very cool to know. So the 2JZ-GTE swap is a pretty common swap then?

yeah it is, but a lot of guys also just do a single turbo build on the GE, they're good for some power. No need to swap in the GTE unless you want to make BIG power. They swap in 5 or 6 speeds too. But I'd keep it automatic if I were to build one. They're just a 4 door supra.

Nice off topic post to try and impress us.

Yeah but with single turbo swaps there's some relocation of stuff that has to happen.

What kind of power is the GE good for generally?

500ish

But you can in GTE internals and make more power.

Congrats on the new daily. They're great cars I had an 03 and always regretted selling it. Also they don't move anywhere in the snow I tired one day and couldn't get out of my driveway.
