IS300 Sports Cross (The new daily) - FOSSIL FUELS - 16-11-2023
Well just before Christmas I decided the civic wasn't for me... I tried giving it my own touch with wheels type r front end and shocks and springs fir better handling... But it just wasn't me.
So I went out and started car hunting again... I wanted the sporty feeling of the IS200 just with more power... So I spoke to a few people with supercharged 1GFE engines... Sounds good... Looks cool... But couldn't find out that suited me.
So I started looking in to IS300's went to see a few... Some just have stupid amounts of milage... Some were clearly written off but not gone through insurance... And others were water damaged during the floods a couple of months ago...
But then one day when scrolling through auto trader I found an IS300 SPORTS CROSS, full service history from new, only 2 owners that were friends, 4 original keys (including the valet key) cambelt done last year and under 100k with the Tiptronic box in it.
Went to go see it and bought it straight away

I couldn't help myself... I have already started buying bits for it... Clear centre lights for the boot lid.
And a carbon fiber bonnet

Nice car. Feels much quicker than the 200 but you will never get it to handle as well!
What's on the shopping list?
