Wow! That's one of the nicest, cleanest looking IS200's that's not rice. It's just nicely done, especially the 1jz transplant. Bravo. Tune it, and don't touch a thing... because you have luxury and performance. Brilliant!!! Awesome choice on the rims... just ... brilliant!!!

I think i will take your advice, althought, the bonnet weighs soo much,If I get a CF Bonnet, I will spray it white, I think CF Bonnets, are becoming a rice factor.

just get some wax and grease remover and clean them really well. then make sure they are smooth as, if not give them a light sand and then spray as you would normally. You want to spray and not polish then? [Report message to a moderator]

Re: Lexus IS200 (250?)	Wed, 12 October 2005 08:01

Just a small update, First off, xolent, the car is fully engineerd, so I guess its ok to have an older engine in. As you have probably notice of all my post, I had alot of troubles. Turned out the original mechanic (who also stole my 6 speed, diff, sway bars, gauges, etc etc approx 4k worth) did a very bodgey job, which was a good thing in one way, I learnt alot from fixing his farkups (and from toymods input too). Engine was running low compression on 2 cylinders, and was smokey. He didnt belive in gaskets it seems, Turbo, exhaust, no thrmostat, crimped heater hose, list goes on! So decided to get rid of it (someone here I think took it) and start again. Bought a nice motor from a member here, and to date, has not given me any drams. Here is the new motor, I have painted the rocker covers black, and also the turbo/cooler piping black, for that standard look. I will update furhter with engine bay shots.
