ozaristov300 Occasional Poster Location: Melbourne Registered: January 2005	Re: Building an IS400 VVTi Thu, 03 February 2005 13:06 Status Update 3/2/05 Gearbox and clutch bits sitting at home looking for a place to play. Fitted Koni Sports adjustables front and rear, with Eibach springs and Koni shorter bump stops (to increase compression travel). Woops. Tyres eating inner guard liners (grinding noise seems to be decreasing each rub however ) and tow hook making assault on bitumen over speed bumps and driveways. But boy, does it ride nice. No more pitching, jiggling or mid-corner instability. After reading some great stuff on wheels/tyres at is300.net, discovered my +40mm wheel offset should be +42mm or more to prevent rub, so have submitted wheels to Ajax Wheels to trim 2.5mm off the boss before fitting with new Bridgestone S03 225/40/18. Would have preferred the Michelin Pilot Sports 2, but the extra $800 makes it hard to justify the difference. See www.tirerack.com for great info on tyre choices. Project has been renamed Building an IS400 VVTi. I'll need a miracle to land a 3UZ-FE for less than Australia's trade deficit. I have several folks looking for a 1UZ VVTi front cut but even these are rare and more than twice the price of a standard 1UZ front cut. The rear end has become a problem. I (foolishly) believed my IS200 was the Sports Luxury version as advertised, with the 3.9 Torsen LSD. Turns out to be a straight Sports with after market leather but no slippery. Now I need an IS300 rear cut, which is again causing the importers to wish me good luck. [Report message to a moderator]
