Extremely slow build up - is300

[keenan]

not much of an update but i got some tires. 215 35 18 all around

[keenan]

Yea thats true. I might just stick with 215's all around. Only because I'm cheap lol. The tires that where on there before we're 225 45 18 and the fronts rubbed like crazy. Surprisingly they looked ever so slightly stretched, but that's probably because of the tire brand. Hopefully the 215 40 18 will give it a better look

what tires do you guys think i should use? the rims are 18x8 and 18x9
i was thinking about using a 205 40 18 ans 215 40 18 but theyre too expensive!

That's the only size you can run, really for what you using them for.
Achilles ATR are cheap

Good luck with the build!

thanks. i think i might be painting the rims a dark purple...

Good luck with the build!

So i finally bought some rims. theyre not as aggressive as i thought they would be but theyll work.

sorry for the shitty cell phone pics.





drove around like this for a day or two. but i had to take them off. the tires are too big, the wobble a bit at higher speeds and they need to be polished

I think I might slowly source out the parts for a swap over the next year. And I've been thinking about getting an exhaust but im not too sure about it

Good luck with the build! I had an AT IS300 a few years ago. Greddy EVO2 exhaust sounded great with the AT, when your ready for that.

Keep all your stock parts so when you get tired of the AT you can swap everything over to a 5-speed

Well, allow me to introduce myself

The name's Haye... Keenan Haye. Sounds a lot cooler when i said it in my head lol

well ill start off wayyyy back when i was a kid playing need for speed underground 2.
that was the first time i remember seeing an is300. from then i knew i had to have. i wasn't too sure when but i knew i wanted it badly.

ill start off with my first car. which was a 1991 toyota tercel. (i know. its badass)

I got this car for free. three speed auto i think




rusty ass control arms. i don't even know how this thing passed saftey


i even tinted the tail lights and put a transformers sign on it...
God i cant believe i put a little bit of money into that thing


Child labor isnt so bad

A couple months later i got rid of it and bought myself a 1994 jetta





lowered it on some shitty racelands

a year later i sold that and bought this. 1995 Golf GTi





lowered it some more after i purchased some cxracing coilovers



that was basically the decline of that car. it just got worse and worse until it died.
i screwed up the oil pan simply because i procrastinate too much. i was supposed to do the "hockey puck mod" but i put it off for too long.

after that heap of shit died i bought this. 2001 Lexus IS300


yes my dream finally came true. the only problem is that i was impatient and i didnt buy it at the right time. Sadly its autotragic.

and then i lowered it a bit on cxracing coilovers


obviously my next plan is to get some rims. but i dont know which ones i should get? i was leaning more to the VIP look. Any suggestions?
