Original asking price was $13.9 Sat on the lot, so they lowered it to $12.9. I made a semi-lowball offer of $11.2 and they countered with a weaksauce $11.5 which is where it landed.


good advice, but this ain't my first rodeo

If I DO decide to go HMT on the stock motor (it'll get boosted one way or another dont worry), I dont expect to invest more than $1.5k for ~300 reliable whp.

---- ya, sounds like a good deal. 7 psi on stock compression=fun. I have heard that 10 psi is max without putting in a thicker head gasket. I have seen many dyno sheets of guys running 300-320 to the wheel on only 6-7 psi. Is it auto or manual? Supposedly the autos are stronger but I have yet to verify this.

I figured you would be working on it youself, seems lke many is300 owners dont even change there own oil. I want to seem more solid hmt setups on this car, not prefabed turbo kits costing 5 grand. You have the miata with the AEM f/ic right? I have read that the AEM piggy works real good on this car.

Get some more pics!!!

yeah I am not one of those guys that lets other ppl change his oil. Only reason I'd take my car to a shop is if it's a)under warranty or 2)in need of an alignment.

Yep I've got the miata with the F/IC and figured it'd work pretty good on the IS. It's a pretty kick-*** piggyback.

Short list of ---- to do:
1. figure out the electrical problem

2. get a driver floor mat

3. detail, claybar, wax

4. flush/fill ATF, oil, oil filter, diff fluid, air filter if needed.

5. wait until this SOB is paid off


my payments is like $360 but im gonna try and do $500 every month to pay it off quicker = boost it quicker.

edit: I've heard from several ppl that the autos are a bit stronger than the manuals.

aww shiet, another is300? I can say i was the first one, nice choice in color. My buddy dynoed at like 340whp @ 7 lbs with a t4/sc61. He pretty much pieced up his whole kit and is running the aem f i/c. I was going to boost my car right now, but decided to wait off till i paid this bitch off. i'm going to do the r154 swap, gte internals and roll with it lol. And i do change my own oil, just not in the winter time.

edit: hit up my.is or isfanatics.com or clublexus.com if you haven't already. my.is is pretty much the honda-tech for IS car's.

That's the color I want to hide the y49 on my CRX with.

Nice car.

RedCavz

also about the same color as my car. i pretty much paid a little extra since they are hard to come by in the color(they only made the car in that color the last year) good choice

BoosTedZSix

graphite gray pearl is the color.

Cray91

Its a hot color. I have seen His^ in person a couple times. Much classier than rolling your project Civic everywhere.

RedCavz
