yeah i think they (my town) just started bussing across town to diversify races per gov't program

it was fun! riding the yellow school bus instead of walking it to school in the cold and snow

 

They’re tiny. Hence the name”individual sedan”

 

I'd treat it as a two seater.... but I treat my (seats 9) land cruiser as one too haha. I sat in the rear of the IS, it's not a 4 adult tourer by any means but I could sit back there for a couple hours just fine and I had headroom which is rare. Kids would be fine

 

got that right!

 

They're beautiful. Super unique.

 

If i can ever bring myself to sell my avalon, this is what my future holds.



unless an MR2 that aint rotted out finally shows up

 

Yeah those babies are out of my league.... But did they ever nail it with that new coupe
Is there another 2 door besides the RCF?

 

from lexus? the LCf is a 2 door for 90k.

 

Oh yeah the LCF, havent seen that much

 

amazing to drive car.
but the RCF is a better deal.

 

You driven an LCF?? lucky bast

 

It looks like a BRZ/FRS/GT86 with a really bad botox job

 

ive driven a LFA. granted it was a very short drive. but i can say ive driven one

 

You're not a fan, for real? I like em

 

Now that would be once in a lifetime drive. I love the sound of that car

 

I like everything but that ugly grille headlight combo, it's on all the Lexus models minus the LFA and it ruins them all visually.

 

That shot from the back.... You can tell I even picked a back shot for the first pic too because I know lmao

 

Yup, it's a GE. The easiest car to swap is a car that's already had the motor though... Anywho, the GE is plenty strong too, no problem holding 600 to 800 horsepuppies. Can swap the GTE head on and be 6 oil squirters short of the holy grail engine.

 

No 1JZs were ever stateside as an OEM option. But the Toyota Altezza (IS300 in other markets) had the option for a turbo 1J or a turbo 2J depending on market (japan's limit on displacement necessitated the 1J option). Thankfully you can get an OEM 2JZ-GTE ECU and harness for the IS300 that is drop in, that way you can keep all the fancy features like traction control and ABS....etc. Then all you need is a bit of work to your existing 2JZ-GE or to swap in GTE. People sometimes do the 1JZ swap too, but I don't really get why they'd want the smaller displacement, maybe just to be more JDM?
