2005 Lexus IS300

The story

IS300's are ugly from the factory. They're built like a 2000s Acura TL with a rake of a BMW, the build of a front wheel drive car, and the A*s of a muscle car. They're a weird chassis but done right, they can look *chefs kiss. This is my daily, drift car, and the car that has taken me back and forth from highschool and now college. It has gone through two engines, technically three transmissions (my fault), two autocross events, three drift events, a flood, and over 220,000 miles of Toyota reliability, kind of. I have documented most of my journey and modifications of this car on my YouTube channel @Siraj_Meera and plan on going to another drift event this season. Not only do I want to keep my viewers up to date on the build and adventures through my socials but also through the MartiniWorks Build Threads which I'd like to thank the team at MartiniWorks for all that they do! If this thread gets approved then I'll add the story of why I went through two engines, three transmissions, and how I got into the flood.
