hey guys, does anyone know a good tranny shop around DFW? I'm trying to get a transgo kit installed... i've searched the forum and threads but found mostly somewhere out of state.. now i'm aware that SGP does it... but i'm sure it is well known for its problematic customer service... anyway, plz hit me up with any clues thanks!

Good morning youngsters, Happy Hump Day.
I really do like the IS-F, but so many people have the IS it has become like a chick car to me. Almost like the VW bug for rich grown up women to get.
Why don't you see that many IS-350's either.....it seems like a waste to spend that money and not get the better engine. All I see driving around are the IS-250's....Oh well, I guess its a chick thing.

Eric, your back......hope you had a great Honeymoon ! Lets see some pics.

^ IS-250 has the option of manual transmission....
ALL IS-350's are automatic......
I see a lot of IS-250's with either women driving them.......and they are auto's - so they bought it cause it was cheaper, OR i see younger guys driving them, and they are all manuals....
the occasional times i see IS-350's they are all way older men or women...
*on another note, the IS-250 manual transmission has a computer control....similar to VDC on the Z, but way more intrusive/involved - The Computer control doesn't allow you to have full manual control of the car.....if you try and dump the clutch or down shift early, etc, the car's computer doesnt let you........so ya, thats crap......
last i read, people were looking for ways around it.........
and there have been manual tranny swaps in IS-350's as well..

I know the IS-250's come with a manual option......But still, why would you want a lower rated-under powered engine & HP just to be able to push a clutch ?
I would rather have the IS-350 with the Triptonic & paddle shifters with a 3.5 ltr over an 2.5 ltr engine. Your talking about 100 HP difference in power just to have a manual tranny. Doesn't make sense in my book.

Kristi......you need to step down to 19's or even 18's with a 40 series side wall and also get those diff springs or coilovers like Jason said.
My ride is great & handles way better than the OEM stockers I had now with those Tein springs and a 275/40/19 series tire.
