I've been reading over this board for several weeks. I like the people here so I've decided to register. I, like most everyone here, am very interested in owning the IS.
This may sound weird, but my drive for owning the car spawns from the Playstation game Gran Turismo 2. I like driving the Altezza and the Limited Edition Altezza and I wanted to see how they drive in RL. To some of you older gents this may sound crazy but hey you only live once, right?
I'm still saving my pennies so I can buy one in the next month or two... maybe longer
I will definitely let you guys know when and where I acquire my IS. Keep me posted on all the good information regarding the IS.

Don't worry bro. You're not the only one who plays PSX GT2 on this board.=)I love that game. hehe..
I got an Silver Altezza on there, and bought everything u could possibly buy on there. I got the HP maxed to about 415BHP (with an assortment of enhancements including turbo).
I had to buy the Altezza jus to see what I could do to it, so then I would have a good idea of what to do wit my silver IS300. Sounds silly, huh? hahahhaha I dont care.
IS300Purformance,
Where do you live in Irvine?
I've seen a Silver IS in Turtle Rock, a couple of black ones on Culver and a yellow one on Jamboree a couple of times. Any of those yours?
dang, there are IS's in irvine. doh! i guess when i come down in a month i'll add one more. ill be living in university park at culver and michelson. look for me in my black lowered IS.
I'll be at Mesa Court dorming for the fall quarter, I dunno if you've seen my silver IS tho. I been there a lot tho..R u goin to UCI also? We should form a school sanctioned club. hahahhaha...
I think $50K + a year will do.
There are alot of people at UCI that make big bucks, especially the engineers and the ICS people. I have friends that just graduated with me and are making $60,000+ w/ a bachelor degree. This is why I am heading back right now for a M.S., to learn more stuff so I can go for that magic 6 figure salary.
Whereabouts do you work ? I see the same yellow IS parked at that furniture store.. its slammed with chrome wheels.. if I ever wanted a yellow IS, its because of that car.. its just so clean.. but I guess they're all like that.. anyhow, I work at Newhope and Slater..
Ha ha.. for reals oh-dawg?? I work on Newhope...and southpark.. hey.. do u work for Kingston???..
About that IS, yeah.. its the same one that i've been seeing....i was driving by and i saw a couple of asian kids gettin into it.... there's a GS there too..
Yeah.. thats where I am.. I've never seen the owner of the ywllow one, but sometimes I see a GS in its place.. our CFO bought a silver IS for his son, which is away at school right now, so he drives that instead of his ES right now.. so you might see that from time to time also.. where exactly do you work ?
Also, for the record, I went to UCI too but I graduated 6 years ago..
So how much r u guys makin workin for tech companies? This is b/c I am a future ICS major and I would like to know whut kinda paycheck I will be drawing coming right out of college with a B.S. Thanx.
Yeah.. so you probably know my little sister that I always wanted, Janie.. we'll have to go cruising once you get yours
IS300Pur,
Last time someone discussed salaries on here, TEG deleted the message.. the rules say we can't disclose that.. besides, if I told you, you'd probably drop out of school now and become a male exotic dancer.. kidding..
[From TEG: Yeah - good advice - it just gets people in a tiff worrying if they measure up... ]

According to this site: http://www.auterraweb.com/aboutcan.html
The first year IS to have a CAN bus was 2006, which was in the 250 and 350.
My question is that does the 2001-2005 IS have multiple ECU's and if so how do they communicate (i.e. proprietary, ad-hoc)?
Thank you.
Previous owner did not take care of leather so it is splitting and cracking.
Any ideas on vendors who sell replacement seat covers.
I don’t care if seats are leather just want factory look for front seats ?
Sportcross front passenger seat could be difficult to source due to fold flat design
Any...
Hey guys and gals,
I was wondering if it would worth my time and money to invest in my 2004 is 300? Nothing too crazy, just add some better rims, better brake kit (slotted, drilled, or blank?), maybe lowering springs, and possibly an exhaust. now i know most of this maybe a must while others...
Anyone have any experience with an aftermarket OE replacement oil pan? Mine is dented from the PO and since I have to pull it to address the gasket leak i was going to replace it.
The aftermarket ones are WAY cheaper than OE. But I am curious about the manufacture quality. Doesn't seem like...
