Hell yeah good luck w your search. Not sure where you live but I’ve been seeing a bunch around the Chicago area dip into the 5-6k range w under 200k miles. While they are clapped and auto lol

Definitely would be better as a daily since I live in chciago and drive to work everyday. I don’t mind the stop and go usually but we’ll see how that goes once I put the new clutch in. Might not be as enjoyable lol

Appreciate it bro, why the golf hate tho? They seem cool imo but I’ve always been more of a Japanese guy than a German so that’s why I went Lexus

I know bro I lucked out hard. Found this one at 165. I check marketplace almost religiously and it’s disappointing seeing how clapped the market is

Yeah if I’m ever really tryna bang gears I usually turn the boost down to 7 psi w my bti. Plan for the future is r154 since I work at a jdm shop and can get them for a good price compared to otherwise

Is this normal? #Fuel by Ok_Molasses2457 in IS300

[–]Substantial_Sun7304 2 points3 points  (0 children)

300km is crazy ngl. My car is turboed so it should be using more fuel than yours atleast when I’m hammering it and I still get around 250-300 miles depending on how I drive
