This is real, not spam I really want a 4Runner, has to be loaded, limited edition please. I have this IS300, with the cleanest, most legitimate 2JZGTE swap I've ever come across in my life. I'm looking for another Evo VIII or IX or a 02+ Toyota 4 Runner limited. May consider other cars/SUV's for trade as well. Willing to sell the car but only if I have to.
Year: 2001
Make: Lexus
Model: IS300
Transmission: 5 Speed Manual
Mileage: 162,000 on chassis
PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION:
I have an IS300 with a REAL VVT-i 2JZGTE motor, not the stock is300 motor with a turbo kit, this is the real deal out of a Toyota Aristo.
Transmission is a R154 out of a Toyota Chaser, rear end is a stock IS300 LSD. This swap was done correctly, not some half ass put together is300 that has lots of loose ends. This is the real deal 4 door Supra/Altezza ready to go. Needs some minor tweaking to be perfect, but pretty much is the ideal setup for anyone wanting a real sleeper, not too eye catching type of car that still can be a ton of fun.
The Good:
Daily Drive-able
Fully tuned on a dyno - Good on the street for every day driving, and awesome when you want it to be (407whp @15psi wastegate spring setting)
The funnest yet most practical car I've ever owned
Police don't even pay attention to this car
No one harasses you to try and "race" because no one has any clue whats in it
Very quiet, no loud exhaust noise at all, almost sounds like an L-Tuned exhaust, very mellow/low key
Problems:
High idle (around 2000 rpm's, sometimes it dies down to around 1500, sometimes it idle hunts around 950-1100, guessing this has to do with the EMS but not really 100% sure, could be a vacuum leak, but I checked everything out as best as I could and couldn't find anything, doesn't really bother me, because the car is relatively quiet, sometimes you can't even tell its idling that high)
VERY very very small oil leak, when I say small, I mean its not even dripping, its just barely seeping out of the oil return fitting on the turbo, I have a new oil return kit to go with the car, hell I might even have it fixed before anyone buys it, I've never had to top off the oil because of this, and the only way you can tell its actually seeping out is because you see/smell a little bit of oil burning smoke coming from the area.
Gas gauge sometimes doesn't work properly, will move every quarter tank, guessing the float is a little messed up probably from when the fuel pump was installed
Will not pass MA state emissions (not sure about any other state), however passes safety fine. The Black R never really bothered me.
Paint isn't perfect, there are some imperfections, but nothing too serious
One of the heated seat buttons doesn't work (passenger side seat, driver side still gets toasty)
I drive this car daily, I rely on it daily and it gets me around perfectly fine. I and many people I've ever driven with/friends can vouch for and love this car.
Some mods include:
Precision PT67 Turbo
Tubular T4 Manifold
Tial 38 mm Wastegate
Walbro 255 fuel pump
750cc Bosch Injectors
HKS Fuel Rail
HKS SSQV
Fuel Lab FPR
Hallman Boost Controller
HKS Type 0 Turbo Timer
AEM EMS Standalone with Dezod Harness
Driveshaft Shop one piece driveshaft
Centerforce Carbon Composite Clutch
Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel
Probably forgetting a few things that I haven't listed. This car is the real deal, I cannot stress that enough, there are tons and tons of cars out there that have been put together with little to no effort, rest assured this car is as close to OEM as possible. Please contact me for more information, Trades may be considered NO TRUCKS please.
Why am I selling it? Good question; I don't really need or want to sell it, but if the right person comes along I won't mind negotiating some sort of deal, I'm always on the look out for a different car/new ideas, maybe I'll even just save the money and sit on it. The car has not given me any problems, everyone that ever see's it and figures out whats in it can't believe their eyes and loves going for rides in it. Its really one of those types of car's I will probably kick myself for getting rid of. But here it is on the market. Shoot me some offers/trades, we'll see if we can get something going.

Car is very dirty in the pictures, haven't washed it since the snow storm we had
VIN #'s on the front end, both fenders and hood, for those skeptical of a front end collision that I've been asked about before
