So i got a killer deal on my is300..always wanted one and finally found a deal i couldnt pass by...
I paid 2800 for the car salvaged title
03 with 45 k on the chassis all tho is had a rod through the block..car has been beating up but in some time you will not even know it..
Here some pics..
not the best pics but i will be putting up more as i rebuild this car ..
so ive hurt my back and been laying around waitin for it to heal..well be back at it soon..im putting all my time and effort into this car because i cant wait to have it together
Well ive got tonsillitis and my back is still hurts..dealing with FLAKES was suppost to pick up 2 bucket seats..drove an hour for the seller to flake on me then drove to long beach to buy another part and the dude wont answer his phone..then another meber whos on this site wants to buy most of whats left and i give him a great price( like i always do) and he just bashes my posts then comes crawling back 2 days later cause he still wants it..sets up a pick up date, ask for pics while my back is messed up i go and take them for him then he flakes again.once i saw his facebook page i saw hes a young kid...shoulda knew..still waiting on some brake parts..
yeah im crossing my fingers with going with a more balanced setup that it will be a better tracking car.
still removing the sound denting stuff pick will be posted soon
im at a cross roads with my build right now..thing have been slow and is making me think...so im torn between a ls1 turbo and a sr20 turbo...
LS1 is heavyier but way more torque
sr20 lightweight but going to cost more to get the same power
sr is such a waste of time bro. in every sense. ka is a much better motor in absolutely every respect. if your planning on going 4 banger, 3sgte beams. if your going v8, 1uz and sc it eventually. either way, your killing it in power, and you have a sweet engine.

Ok so like a dumbass i kinda put this build on hold and didnt mean to do it but i ended up building the rx7 that i own..i shouldnt have but i did..we are expecting 500PLUS WHP from my fd will post pics of that as well soon ..this fd is NOT i say again NOT a track car its just my super sexy weekend car..i didnt see it coming but i spent way too much on it and the is300 is starting to suffer..but things will be changing soon( i hope) just spent like 7gs on it that shoul;d have went into the is300...and medical school if really hard..
yeah ive read some of those ..i think im going to stay sr20(or something like that) Living in socal everyone seems to be putting ls(x) into anything , it works very well and i cant blame them
