**glad76** · 09-21-2006, 09:22 AM

Hi guys,

was finally time to change up the car as the celica was getting old. Decided to pick up a 02 IS300 L-Tuned. Day and night from a celica and RWD is so much fun. More pics to come

pimp daddy!

**RN2NVS** · 09-21-2006, 09:26 AM

good buy

**Burrcold** · 09-21-2006, 09:50 AM

nice! Is L-Tuned an actual version that Lexus released? If so what are the differences

**RN2NVS** · 09-21-2006, 10:02 AM

yes
bodykit
wheels
exhaust

and probably some more stuff that i dont know about

**glad76** · 09-21-2006, 10:36 AM

Here is a rip from another site regarding the L-tuned mine is the series II.

Here's an old Motor Trend article on the L-Tuned Package IS Stage II fully loaded with NAV and 5 Speed Manual at Fontana, CA - California Speedway.

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...2_lexus_is300/

As far as the L-Tuned Package was concerned. It is not a factory installed package. They are a Port Installed Option package put on some new 2002 IS300 models that came through the Port of Long Beach. They only came in Millenium Silver Metallic, Black Onyx and Graphite Gray Pearl. If you saw any other colored L-Tuned package vehicle, it was either a Dealer Installed accessory or an accessory added by the buyer later on. This was only available for 2002. The L-Tuned Packaged cars either came w/Auto, Auto w/NAV, Manual and Manual w/Nav.

Series I - Body Kit w/Fogs, Exhaust, Sport Grille, L-Tuned Badging and Floormats.
Series II - All the Series I options plus, L-Tuned Springs 1" drop(made by Eibach), Front & Rear Sways, and 18" L-Tuned Wheel/Tires (made by Rays Engineering aka SS7 Campionato) in either Silver or Graphite w/Michelin Pilot Sport 225/40ZR18 tires.

That's really nice. Are they hard to come accross? May want to pick one up if they can be found anywhere.

**Locker** · 09-21-2006, 10:40 AM

wow good buy buddie

**glad76** · 09-21-2006, 11:04 AM

yeah they are pretty hard to find this one was pure luck was interesting when i was making the deal one guy came by and said he'd pay more then the asking price was all timing.

**Burrcold** · 09-21-2006, 11:26 AM

I just saw the car you bought on autotrader. The only thing I don't like is that it was potentially modified before (more then what it is now), since it says it has a AEM intake. That always steers me clear of buying any vehicle.

**Locker** · 09-21-2006, 11:40 AM

glad what are you doing with your celi? sold it I assume... it was one of the cleanest fifth gens around

**3sgte@daspeedof** · 09-21-2006, 12:04 PM

**Iceberg_Slim** · 09-21-2006, 07:27 PM

**glad76** · 09-21-2006, 08:04 PM

thanks guys...the 5th gen isn't sold yet it's going up for sale as of now need to move that. It does have LSD fred.

**MM2000GTS** · 09-21-2006, 08:51 PM

Nice buy. I picked up a SportCross back in February, and have been very pleased with the purchase ever since. Did you negotiate them down on the $25K asking price? 95K km's is a bit high for that price. Regardless, you'll probably never have an issue anyways - Lexus = Toyota = Great Quality.
