This is IQ's 2002 Lexus IS300 with manual transmission. She specifically sought out the manual tranny, and it wasn't too easy to find. A nice bonus of the manual is this particular model comes with LSD and firmed up suspension over the autobox..
She's done most of the mods herself.
-ProLex Performance short throw shifter
-Swift Racing Technologies Intake and ECU
-Tanabe Touring exhaust
-DBA Series 4000 rotors and Hawk HPS pads
-18" Tenzo R Cuzco wheels in Bronze Flat
-Amsoil engine oil, Royal Purple in the tranny and diff
The car runs very strong and sounds wonderful! Based on dyno pulls and the usual 15% drivetrain loss, the car is making 240HP and 245TQ at the flywheel. Pretty impressive for a car that was listed at 215HP/218 TQ
