The most recent addition to the RightFootDown garage is Will’s manual transmission IS300. With only 5% of the IS300's coming to our shore with 3 pedals, it’s kind of rare.
Having 3 pedals should mean enjoyment behind and no better way to add to the driving experience than with a pleasant exhaust note. To remedy this, we opted for the HKS Super Drager axleback muffler from TH Motorsports.
With a part box shoved in the cabin, we met up with Sean at IM Autohaus for the install. Sean may never invite us back again.

Next up? Maybe more exhaust work. All I know is that when he sells it, I might buy it.

This is awkward... I’m not sure if they realized this, but they took a picture of them posing with their car...
JK. Looks good.

Even rarer, it looks unmolested

And so we discover Will’s rapper alter ego...

Dammit, that’s me! I thought he was just setting up for the next bit of video. Now I have an album cover.

Very. It was completely unmodified when I got it. Now I guess we will ruin it. Just kidding, hopefully I can recoup most of the money I spent on it.

Dammit Hughes, OK that’s pretty funny.

Needs more “sponsor” before it gets to that point

Car looks good.
I can’t view the video at work. Any plans to go NA-T? It can yield pretty decent results and not cost an arm and a leg if done right.

Possibly. Depends on the cost, part of me has an issue spending as much as the car is worth modding it. haha
So maybe if we get a sponsor.

Heyo! I remember those! Toyota ruined them by only offering them with an automatic, but then we got all mad and they made a manual and then nobody bought them.
I want a wagon with a M/T swap since, of course, all the wagons are auto.
I legit really like those though. Cool car if you can find a manual, which you obviously did.

I have this identical car, in equally unmolested condition.
I’ll be looking out for more on it.

You misspelled ITB’s

ITB’s would be cool, but kinda pricey. Unless you built your own.

I’d love to have a manual wagon. Best I can figure, via the internets, is that a DIY manual swap can run you over $4000. Which is most of the price of the car. So I figured I have an SUV to haul stuff, went with the sedan with the factory manual.
