Hey guys!
I've been drifting for a year and a half now with my e36 325i missle and have decided to switch over to something JDM. For a long time I have had a soft spot for IS/Altezza chassis but the 200 and Altezza are fairly lacking in the power department.
my queston is- Would an IS300 be worth converting to manual? (if so, which box-zf,r154,w58)
I'd probably drive the car n/a for a season just to get used to it all and get the chassis up to scratch and eventually look into a turbo conversion. Looking to hopefully get something starting with 3 power wise on low boost. Nothing too fancy.
Me and a friend of mines have a reasonable bit of knowledge with cars and have a garage so would be looking to do majority of the work ourselves.
Would this all be worth it money wise or am I better off spending the cash on an s body?
Cheers!
Arthur
