[Thunderbird2]

Name: Matt

Location: Sydney Australia

Ride: 2000 IS200 Sports Luxury 6spd, man!

Likes: cars, clubs, cruises, touge, long walks on the beach

Dislikes: chromes, GT Rear Wings, and giant sub installs that rattle the boot lid!

Mods: not many to speak of - just Eibach Sportline springs so far. But ultimately, an engine swap, probably to the 3S-GE, after some well researched engine mods are applied, of course! Mods will be chosen and tuned for handling rather than straight line speed and power, as i like this car for it's handling, and i love driving along "the windy mountain road".
