I always thought that little is300 would be a badass sleeper with a turbo on it! Not 100% on this, but think it's the same engine block form supra's, so it's suppose to be able to hold pretty well.

Old-2003 Mazda Protege5-Spec Stage 3 hybrid clutch/kartboy SS/ARP Headstuds/Cometic Headgasket/Crower rods /CP Pistons 8.5.1./RC 1000cc inj/T3TO4E turbo 63 A/R./Welded MSP LSD/Custom 3'' exh/FMIC/Haltech E6X stand alone. Lots of other cosmetics. But I broke 3rd gear shift forks every other month and broke my welded lsd. Transmission was a weak point and I parted the car out and sold it back to carmax.

Current Daily-2005 Dodge Neon Srt-4-Eibach Pro kit/Spec Stage 1 Clutch/3bar map.tip sensors/Maxxfab Side exit exhaust/3'' o2 housing/FM wastegate/Granatelli Wires/Boomba Short shifter/AEM Uego/AEM Boost guage/Scangauge/Diablo Sport predator w/custom tune/N2MB WOT Box w/2step. It is a fun car, never had a problem with it but Im ready for real wheel drive.

Goodfella you are right, basically same motor with obviously different internals and heads are slighty different. The only real flaw is the trannies are weak in the is =/

Jomo those little skittles are badass. Same concept as the dsm basically. I had a 95 gst (front wheel drive eclipse) and that was roughly 300hp. Traction in that thing was terrible so I parted it out too. You got any pics of your cars? I can't upload anymore pics from my phone or I would!

 

[JOMO]

Had countless other cars. I am a big mazda fan. Love the way they handle. Mx-3's/Miata's I have had them all.

 

[giovanniv]

I've always wanted to do like a miata with an ls swap in it. Little cars are badass! I've had a fair share of cars as well audi a4, stealth r/t, bmw 328, and a nissan titan! I'm considering possibly selling the is300 and getting a sti! I have a thing for those things exhaust tone, makes me wet.

 

[JOMO]

LS miata would be sick. I would have gotten into honda's more often but where I lived they were being stolen left and right. At your school, out of your driveway when you were home. I didn't want to deal with that shit.

 

[giovanniv]

My cousins are all honda guys. That b16 b18 k20 xyz27 blah blah I heard it all day long from them haha they are great cars to boost and make power but I can't do the all motor thing. Never been my thing

 

[JOMO]

Here in the Uk there are a few guys with K20 swapped Mini's. The 90's ones. Now that I could do all motor..

 

[giovanniv]

If I ever get a mini, a hybusa motor is goin in that bish!

 

[gymrat827]

95 z28. forged 357 built for a 250 hit. put down 377rwhp (mildly worked heads/intake, street cam). every bolt on, weight reduction, etc etc. about 20k into it.


DD - 2009 328i, 6spd. its fun in the corners.

next is a 750 gixxer

Somewhere down the road I want to have owned atleast one muscle car. I have a soft spot for cobras! Post pics up of your cars brothas!

 

[gymrat827]

f that. get a ls1 and never look back.

 

[gymrat827]

better yet, ditch the motor out of the lex, drop in a ls1/ls6 and throw t76gts on there........ say hello to 700-800rw:tren:

Domestics I have always wanted.

2002 SS Camaro
2002 ZO6
2004 SVT Cobra
2004 Mach 1

During those years I was in high school and were out of the question.

 

[giovanniv]

Gymrat there are a couple turbo ls1 is300 out there with videos on youtube too! I'd love to swap mine but that's another money pit right there!

the 03 zo6 is the one that got the kick in power to 405. they put down 360rwhp (ive seen it) and with just drag radials a buddy went 11.91 @ 119.89......

fucking sick for a factory NA car. that will also hang with ferrari's and pretty much everything under the sun on a race track.

 

[staxs]

Im an import guy. I never have owned domestic american muscle. Im more into drifting, time attacks, rally racing and auto crossing.

 

[JOMO]

I could have sworn it was revised in 2002 to 405. But either way, yes stock with some DRs and a driver mod i also have seen those types of times at the track. And now that I think of it i haven't been to a track in like 5 yrs. I WANT TO SMELL RACE GAS DAMMIT!
