Steve Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Hi all, hope everyone is doing ok. Not been about much due to various things in life that take over! After selling my Supra a few years back, I needed some 2JZ (although NA) power back in my life so picked up a Lexus IS300 Sportcross, found this much more comfortable than the Supra so was great for my dodgy back! It didnt take long for me to pull the car apart and start changing things, so far I have replaced the suspension bushes all round, replaced the stock tired suspension with some nice HKS. The car then went to Lee and the guys at SRD to do the engine build/install and probably the best part the Lexus ISF 8 speed gearbox all controlled by the Syvecs. The have been so many custom parts to make everything actually fit the car so its been a challenge for SRD. There is still a few bits to sort in the new year after its been driven for a 1000 miles or so, but a massive thanks to SRD for building this car.

Been considering one of these for a daily project, do they handle well? It does handle quite well considering its an Estate car, better with the HKS suspension rather than the stock items.
