after some serious pondering, i am going to get rid of the cl and hault plans to try do anything to it, i want a better canvas to start with, so im thinking of selling the cl and getting an Is (used), i figure since my parents both sell toyota and lexus it would be the smarter decision. so if anyone has any idea's as far as what i can look foward to or criticisms please don't hesistate. thanks guys

 

if you gonna get the IS, try getting one of the 10% that were made with 5 speed. otherwise, i wouldnt (personally) waste my time with one. they look nice tho

 

and The IS's are junk if you get an automatic, find a 5 speed, or your wasting your time there too.

 

and 5spd or no go

 

yea the 5spds are the way to go.

 

you better drop in the Supra turbo and ECU while you're at it

 

5-speed gets my vote. What are the specs on the IS and what year is it ?

 

5 spd or else ....

 

this guy gave up on the cl pretty quick

 

The IS has unlimited modding possibilities either auto or stick you can enjoy it..I just hate those damn altezzas. My boy waited 6 months for blue one 5spd , it's rare but if you can find one do it. I'm dying to get a type s so I can smoke him since he is talking mad shit right now.

i gave up after my second tranny

 

The IS is iight, I just dont have 18 G`s to go splurge on one. All it is, is a RWD 92-95 Honda Civic sedan.

 

if you want to see a sick IS go to visionboy.com hehe thing has like 760 rwhp smokin heads

 

are you cracked

 

thanks guys but im not going for speed, i want comfort and style, i figure im gonna just put it 18's and thats it nothing crazy i dont race so it doesn't matter

 

i just wanna go back to toyota/lexus jsut for the fact my parents have the hook up, i could do the tc. haha thats way to girly

 

check on insurance before you buy it! I almost traded my CL for an IS till i found out how much my insurance was going up.

 

you want comfort and style, not speed, but you want a better canvas than a CL? Just gonna put 18's on it and not race, why not stick with the CL? Like smalls said, do what you want, but check on the insurance bro.

 

You can have this one by my crib for 17K---

 

That's pretty, I love the color, those wheels would have to go though, they look kinda like 99_cl_girl's wheels, only uglier

 

Yep..the wheels killed it..I was thinking about till I saw the wheels. I still have no idea what I want ..I want a Type-S so bad but the tranny sticks in the back of mind.

 

my moms got an auto is300 and i like it, 5spd or not.. i like em, too many rich ass guys fix thiers up pretty sick tho. some guy who went 2 hs with me supercharged his :/

 

Nope I'm drug free buddy . What I meant by the civic comment is that the body of the IS is similar to that of a 92-95 civic. I'm not the only to have noticed that.

 

i don't know i like the CL, my mom loves it she says it drives awesome, but i just don't want to throw money into rims cause they are only 4 lug when everything is 5 now adays and then see a great deal at the dealership cause my mom and stepdad can get me a great deal if it comes along. i know im gonna keep the cl until for my last semester up at school, so i will have a couple months to think about it. it just makes more sense to go in a direction that benefits me the most. i've seen some beautiful is's

 

yea dont get a IS auto, your better off with a 92-98 3 series E36 Bimmer. great car my good friend has a 98 328i 5MT. its absolutely smokes my car by 3-4 car lengths from a roll.

don't want a 5 spd don't car about speed. i've never raced in my life, pointless to me, i like looks and comfort. im an old man when i drive. that is is f'n awesome. i like that charcoal grey or i like the white with a carbon fiber hood and black rims. no one around me has an is hooked up or cl hooked up. so transmission doesn't matter to me

 

fixed.

 

The 328 only puts done 195hp they didnt beef it up to 215 till 2001 or 2002..They look good but I wouldn't waste money on that car.

 

5 series > 3 series

 

 

5 series unless its a 530 and up is slow...A Tsx will give a 525 a run for its money, it will lose but not by much.

Back to our reguarly scheduled program
My boy says he is thinking about doing a Gs400 swap on his with his taxes, so imagine a V8 in an IS300

 

^ already seen it, there was a show about it not too long ago....i think it was on RIDES

 

oh yea i remember that, insane

 

the more i look around the more i want one the less i look at my cl. haha. plus i get a deal on trd parts
