My IS300 and a skyline... - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I figured I'd take a stab at posting this here... I took some shots of my previous daily / drift beater before I parked it up for the winter. I know it's not for everyone, but it's beat up because it gets used, and I like it.

dori. · 12-17-2012, 09:21 PM

I respect any car that's used and still looks pretty damn good

Exhaust · 12-17-2012, 09:23 PM

Can you explain the wheel setup? (No disrespect)

Specs on what? The wheels, engine, whole car?

I'm unsure of what you want explained or why it would be disrespectful.

I love the IS300, but I'd go in the other direction: sleeper wagon with 6-speed Supra turbo driveline

dem00n · 12-18-2012, 01:57 PM

I like it, its tastefully moddifed.

I think the guy above wanted to know why you strech your tires, since most people see it at stupid and pointless.

blur · 12-18-2012, 02:01 PM

Sexy! but the blue tint ... has to go.

mact · 12-18-2012, 02:03 PM

Is that Halsted St?

DarkSunrise · 12-18-2012, 02:05 PM

Looking for honest feedback? If I saw that on the street, I would think cheap rice with the huge wing, body kit, blue lights, and stretched tires.

As long as you like it though, that's all that matters. Seriously. Who cares what I (or anyone else thinks), do what makes you happy.

TOMIMOTO · 12-18-2012, 03:11 PM

False advertising. Where is the skyline?........... Ohhhh. I see what you did there.

Sleepers are lame and only good for drag racing... Which is also lame.

I wouldn't say it's tastefully modded, but yeah, I could see how that's what he was asking about.

I mean you don't build a car like this unless you're doing it for yourself, cause I've had plenty of people talk down on it, and I wouldn't change a thing... But cheap rice? It has Work wheels, a Buddy Club wing, JDM TRD front bumper and side skirts... I fail to see what's cheap about it... As for the styling of it, it's a drift car, it's supposed to look loud and obnoxious.

fatoni · 12-18-2012, 05:47 PM

the only thing more lame than sleepers are gigantic wings. when i check to gauge the quality of a car i basically ignore all the obvious items and simply ask what tires and coilovers they use. id rather have a $2500 budget for tires and $800 for rims than the other way around
