I am only listing this for a short time at this lower price with no reserve to try to sell it faster. If it does not sell I will swap my transmission when I can get some free time. That being said, I am listing my 2001 IS300 with a 2jz-GTE VVTI swap. The twin turbos have been replaced with a single precision T67 turbo. The swap was done 4 years ago when the car had 86k miles. The engine that was put in had just over 30k miles on it. All the seal where replaced during the swap. There is a large front mount inter cooler, 3" exhaust with high flow cat. HKS twin power DLI ignition upgrade and koyo radiator. The engine is controlled by an haltec f10x stand alone for the fuel. The engine was tuned at PF Supercars in Md and made 340 Rwhp and 330 Ft-lbs torque at 10 psi. The transmission in it now is a fully built race trans built by SRT, however it is starting to miss 3rd gear under full throttle. Under normal driving it is fine but when I floor it from a stop it usually misses 3rd gear. I am guessing the 3rd gear sprag is going bad. I do have the stock transmission which also has a shift kit to stiffen the shifts 2-3,3-4, and4-5 that will go with the car that was working perfect when removed. The wheels are 19" staggered 3 piece JLine 10rl3 polished finish. The front are 19x8.5 and the rear are 18x9.5. The seal in the front left wheel has a slow leak, that wheel also has some curb rash which made the lip chip. I was going to send if back to JLine to have it repaired over the winter. The car has a "clear" PA title but when I bought it in 2007 in Ohio it had an "R" title. It was hit on the front drivers side. I don't believe the airbags deployed but I am not certain. It was repaired before I bought it and has driven perfect since I bought it. The color of the car is diamond white pearl. The whole car was repainted in 2010 when I had the body kit put on because I wanted it to all match perfectly. I also put halo lights in the headlights as the daytime running lights and painted the inside of the lights black. The tail lights are also tinted black. The car was also debadged when it was painted. The inside is pretty much stock, except for a turbo timer and 3 gauges, boost, trans temp, and a/f ratio. I have a lot of money in this car and don't want to sell it however I have a new family member and NO time to mess with it. I am sure I am forgetting something's so if you have any questions just ask. Sorry some of the pics are sideways it wouldn't let me rotate them. I forgot to mention that there is also high stall torque converter (2200 rpm) that was put in with the transmission. Before the trans started slipping with the current set up at 15psi I would run low 12's in the 1/4 mile with street tires.
