When I bought mine, I didn't even want the leather. But to get the LSD, I had to choose the package with the leather. In the US, you can get pretty much everything a-la-carte.

It's not a luxo car, far too small for that. Not a great interior, but it's a cool little car.

I like the interior. It has the Escaine seats. Very comfortable. The speedo is one of the best I've seen.

A little over $18k since it was a complete custom job for Lexus Canada. RCTS recommended I do an Aristo swap for the same price. That way I still have a spare engine left over. There are quite a few turbo kits for the IS300 that put out the same HP numbers (under same amount of boost) for about US$6k - $8k plus install. A lot of people have had good success with them as well. Either way, atleast there's somebody in town who I can trust for an IS300 turbo!

That IS300 has been around for a while,its cool to see that Toyota Canada hired RTCS to do the job. The car was originally built to show off the L-tuned parts and was basically all show. Great to see it has some power too it now, that car has had a pretty hard street life however

That is a lot of money to shell out! But I guess it is all worth it? What type of numbers did the turbo IS put out? Or has it been dynoed yet?
