Default Lakeland: IS300 Turbo

anyone on here? seen you numerous times.

Dark Graphite Grey with red Lexus on the side in graphics, used to have F&F aluminum spoiler, but not anymore. Volk-looking gunmetal rims with polished lip, lowered, N1 type exhaust.

Came down my road yesterday gunning it, and i heard a Type S or something blow off valve. It was Pollard Rd in south lakeland, btw.

just wondering if anyone knows. never got a front view of the car to see how big of an fmic or not.

The guy is actually a friend of mine..I live in Bartow, the kid that owns it is 16 yrs old, his dad bought the car for him was stock when he bought it....the kids dad sent the car off to miami to get the turbo kit installed in a shop down there, so basicly the kids dad is rich and has bought him everything for the car, and actually he is running 5 psi, and the kid doesnt know how to drive it...not to fast at all really, needs to up the psi but the kids dad wont let him, and the kid his name is aaron, doesnt know one thing about cars.....I drive a 90 civc si hb with b16a, and me and my friend ben he has a crx, he lives in the housing development down the road there, and that is where the is300 comes from sometimes....But really the kid is all right but he can be a diick sometimes because he gets all this cool stuff for his car and rubs in ur face and his dad bought everything for him, and what makes it worse is he has no idea how a turbo works, or even how his fucken car works, my freaking girlfriend was explaining to him how his turbo works, quite funny actually, and the kid is in 1th grade...

other than best buy, i just cruise around. i had books-a-million meets along time ago but everyone died out of the scene and i had moved to orlando at that time as well.

brax - yours is white, EF style, lowered on blackish wheels? i proabably have seen u. im at that corner house behind the school. i wave to the guy with the crx, i wish he'd stop by one day tell him to if im out there, u can too if u want. did the crx guy get another car? i know he lives with a guy who has a white s10 on chrome wheels, but i havnt seen the crx around lately (paintshop?).

as for the lexus, bah. figures it was some kid. i think the crx guy is in high school as he has the yellow jenkins tag still i believe. the lexus guy looks like he was older or he's kinda big or built. i dont believe in having parent bought stuff but i would take it too i guess but i'd at least try to figure out what it all is so if someone were to ask i wont look like a dumbass. miami huh? obviously a toyomoto built car. so im guessing if toyomoto did it (they are quality), it should be faster if he ever raises the boost. it didnt look like it was entirely too fast but it looked like it was probably 13/14 sec car just from the way it was scootin. he has a greddy type s blow off valve im guessing right? sounds like it and it sounds like its either adjusted somewhat easy/loose, or hes not pushing much psi.

There's always little battles going on in lakeland on South Florida on the way to school in the morning Sometimes I'm in the middle of them sometimes I'm laughing at the diesel lawn trucks romping the sports cars haha.

Def not Toyomoto work. Toyomoto turns out a car with a minimum of 8psi.If hes only runnin 5 psi than it may be one a the couple shippable turbo kits that run that low of a psi and he may not have the uprgraded headgasket . Heres a detailed desciption of just their stage 1: Sorry for jumping into this all just interested as their are not many other turbo is300's other than myself and Hector round here.....

1) TO4E Turbo
2) Cast Iron Manifold
3) Turbo Piping
4) Wastegate
5) Wastegate Piping
6) Large Intercooler
7) Intercooler Piping
Blow Off Valve
9) Toyomoto Headgasket
10) Haltek E6K
11) MSD DIS 4
12) 550cc Injectors
13) Toyomoto Stage 1 ½ FPR*
14) Braided Oil Lines
15) Transmission Valve Body

Total (labor included): $10,500.00

Thats full stand alone fuel(Haltek) and the upgraded headgasket you need to run over 1 bar of boost and does 8-17psi....As well that Lance puts in a blitz boost controller with ALL kits...So I dont think its Toyomoto's work as all their cars come out with mad power...And 5 psi would be an embaressment to them haha....
Any pics of the car?.....He wanna run?
