Default Tax Return Time...

So I was thinking about my tax return and what I should do with it. My options are pretty much: spend it on a torsen swap and maybe some other miata stuff (keep in mind I just got my MSquirt) orrrrr supercharge my IS300. There's really a limited list of miata stuff I could do at this point, but supercharging my IS300 really doesn't make it that fast (I believe its around 320 rwhp. Please don't say something responsible like "save the money" cause I do that all year and its boring.

Thanks!

IS300 a 5spd? Tough call. Spend that ish, but I'd leave the nice DD alone and appreciate the Lexus reliability and the fact it starts every morning!

My DD is down so I'm bitter. :gay:

From your mod list, maybe WI? (and the torsen of course)

I second the torsen swap and leave the dd alone so you have only one car to troubleshoot. Remember the early days with your miata....haha...I know the lexus is nothing like that but....

One project car is enough Brad....be cool like me and do the swap, then with your ECU and rear you'll never have to worry about it.

Stick to the Miata. Unless you're okay with utilizing 8 jackstands at a time.

I'm guessing 5% of the members here know what a 529 is.
