whats up....yah i know wrong forum but i like everyone on this forum alot so i figure i would ask here...selling the 350z and getting a is300 and i wanted to stick a 75-100 shot on there to get into high 13s possible...just wondering what i should do to make it a safe shot and also what kit i should get for it...i was thinkin nx but they have alot of kits out...thanks alot

 

wait until march 1st when lexus announces the mk2 IS which will probably be a 3.5 liter rather than the 3.0 L now...then put some nos in it...i've seen threads on is300.net about installs...try that

 

yah i check out is300.net everyday but what sucks is i have hotmail and it wont allow you to join if you have a "free" email account so all i can do is look which sucks...thats why i asked on here. and also im gonna get a older is300 cause i want sumthin a lil more affordable than the Z cause my gf is pregnant.

 

in that case...four seats and cheapness makes all the sense in the world...

 

check insurance on the is300. When I was car shopping I wasn't going to let speed be the deciding factor and I came down to two cars. IS300 and 350z. Insurance for the IS was about $50-60 more per month. Made picking the Z an easy choice. I doubt a is300 would be more affordable than a Z.

 

is300 is alot cheaper for me insurance wise...me and my mom are gonna do a family type deal...thanks for the heads up though...

 

thats good i wonder if it was just a fluke for me. For some reason USAA and progressive quoted me more for the is300 than a vette. I am under 25 and not married so the discounts havn't kicked in for me yet.

EDIT: just check on progressives webpage since they already have my info. On a stored quote i switched from 04Z to 02IS and my quote went up by 40%. I wonder whats the deal with the is being so much.

I put in a bunch of cars here is the list from most expensive to least expensive.

Dodge Viper SRT 10
Lexus IS300
05 Vette
EVO
G35c
350z
05 Mustang GT
WRX STI
Neon SRT4
Crossfire SRT6
Crystler 300c SRT8

Only thing that I am surprised by is the SRT8 being the cheapest in the bunch and the IS300 being more than the vette. The man didn't want me to have an IS300 I guess. It worked out I am happy with my Z.

 

wow thats crazy? thanks for that info...thats pretty interesting...i am 21...not married...no tickets though...so who knows...i liked my Z alot but just sumthin i gotta give up for the time being...i think ill still have fun with the IS though...i actually already bought a cf lip...cf grill....cf eyelids...cf hood and 5.8 lcds for the headrest

: )


haha lata

 

I am just peeved that if your insurance company is giving you a better rate on the is300 than mine would b/c I used that as a tie breaker. I am not upset with my Z purchase but its annoying that I may have made a choice based on faulty info... ohh well so far so good.

 

well the Z is a nice car but i personally think the is300 is a bit more "driveable"...i need sumthin more practical and still fun to drive...and still moddable...but i duno...just depends what your looking for...i liked my Z alot but also what sucks is i live in illinois where 7 months out of 12 are pretty shitty and cold....i only drove it in the summer/spring/some of fall...im gonna drive the is300 year round cept for when it snows hard.
