DimTech’s IS300
DimTech Lexus IS300
The Car That Comes Full Circle!
You ever had a desire to own a very specific car for over almost a decade, just to be able to build the "period correct" way? The mainstream style for our generation is based off an "internet car" which means anything that will grab attention just off of look itself and no true soul as to what desire them to build the car. Now the internet and finding "styles" isn't truly bad in itself, but there has to be a true reason as to why the car was built. This is where Dimitri comes into play with his build of the Lexus IS300.

Origin Story
The Feeling?
The Lexus IS300 is a very sought after car, with majority of them being BN Sports kit and Work CRKais, as we said previously "an internet car." Dimitri based his car off the early 2000s, from games such as Gran Turismo or NFS Underground and inspired by Netz Altezza Cup Race Cars. The sole purpose of this build is to feel exactly as if you are in a video game or as if you living through this car when it first came out in the early 2000s.

Suspension
From plain-sight view it may just look like coilovers, but every arm and moving suspension piece has been replaced. From the front there’s JZX Arms from Serial Nine, Figs Engineering RCAs, Techno Toy Tuning End Links, GS300 tie rods, all being held together with Fortune Auto Coilovers. That includes the rear with the same coils but with other goodies such as Megan Racing Upper Control Arms, GKTech Lower Control Arms, Megan Racing Traction Arms, and custom toe arms. All that allow the car to sit and drive like a literal go kart.
Safe Space
Interior
We love to call the interior of our car a home. Dim didn’t miss this department. Starting with the prize part, Buddy Club P1 Racing Bucket Seats, to the custom paddle shifter hub mated to a OMP wheel, to the Kaze Speed shifter. These are key points in which we touch every time we sit in a car, so those are crucial pieces to give you peace and comfort.
Stylin’
Exterior
You got to have style with how you build your car. Dim decided to keep it simple and inspire after a Altezza Netz Cup Car but with a little *flare*. That includes front and side TRD body panels, OEM Toyota Foglight Deletes, Evoluer Tails, HKS exhaust (sound points**), and livery to tie everything together well.
