For Sale: 540 RWHP Turbocharged Lexus IS300
***For Sale***
540 Rear Wheel Horsepower 2002 Turbo Lexus IS300 Featured in
July 2004 HiBeamz Magazine
This is truly a unique car with tremendous power, rare true Japanese looks, incredible handling, and a fully custom interior. I am the only owner of this IS300 and took it from stock in 2002 through the years of the modification process. The car is garage kept and never sees a drop of rain. The title is clear as well.
The detail on the car is really what sets this car off. The power is simply amazing. The car produces a touch over 350 rwhp at 7 psi, 454 rwhp at 14 psi, and made 540 rwhp/549 rwtq at 21 psi (video and dyno attached). It has so much power that it melted parts of the tires as they spun on the dyno 3 years ago! Powerhouse Racing created and tuned this car with Motec standalone ECU which is universally recognized as the top standalone available. The clutch was upgraded by PHR to handle the extra power. Boost, EGT, and Fuel Pressure gauges allow you to monitor the car while driving with the HKS boost controller integrated into the dash.
The details on the engine setup are impressive as the power. All the piping is ceramic coated and polished including the intake manifold and y-pipe. The Garrett turbo matches as well with a polished housing. Even the valve covers have been powder coated blue to match the paint color of the car. To set off the engine bay, the plastic covers have been replaced with full custom blue carbon fiber under hood covers from IPT Motorsports. Power was a must for this car, but reliability was equally important. You simply will not find an IS300 with this much power that has been more reliable than this car.
The paint on the car is flawless without any marks. The body kit caries the same aggressive style & true JDM looks with a very rare Hippo Sleek Front bumper for the Altezza, side skirts from Vizage, finished off with a C-West Rear bumper. The hood is an unusual and super light black carbon fiber weaved in with blue kevlar held up by FIG aluminum hood props. The car been lowered on Zeal Function B6 coilovers made to order that took nearly 4 months to import from Japan. The ride is still Lexus like with remarkable handling from the Zeal coilovers and TRD Racing sway bars. In addition, the car is sitting on authentic 18” Lowenhart BR-5 wheels with brand new Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires.
Finally, the interior details follow the rest of the lines of the car from a completely custom leather interior & glove box to the JDM TRD gauge pod holding the turbo gauges. Even the interior lighting on every location has been changed to a custom blue color from the turbo gauges to the boost controller to the dash to the ignition ring.
Dyno sheets, pictures, and a detailed list of the modifications to the car are listed below. This Lexus IS300 has more money in the aftermarket modifications then the price of the car brand new. Shop time alone to modify this car has been close to a year and was painful to endure. Mileage is also very low at 35,000.

Bump for a great ride... Keep it posted and I am sure there are people out there who will appreciate your ride. It was heart wrenching to let go of my 97 Supra TT at 33000 miles with a motherload of mods since I bought it Sophmore year in college. I ended up getting 50K+ for it. The sale got me into a C55 because "Woman" didn't know that the C55 is the performance version of the C-Class. She figures I'd stay out of trouble if I am driving a snail of a ride...

XPRO, thanks for the compliments. I don't really want to part anything, but I may remove just some dress items to help lower the price a little.
I think this will be the last price drop before I think about removing a few things. I am going to lower to $32,000 and I will negotiate with a few of the parts if the buyer is interested.
