Not looking for a big drop, just above the to top of the tyre would be nice.

The standard intake is pants, a decent designed ram intake, enclosed in a box will definitely be more efficient than the oem unit. Theres enough evidence on various forums where is200 owners have used decent in takes (not just a cone filter on a pipe) and have gained better throttle response and mpg, not denying the lack of bhp increase tho, but some will be gained if dobe correctly. The oem exhaust from factory on the other hand is very good, a free flowing manifold may help

No modifications so far as money has ran out, but did buy a new double din unit and gubbins to go with it to replace my factory unit :) as i cant afford wheels, going to refurb my oem ones over Xmas, I really won't to lower it but even at stock sports height it's scrapes on some speed ramps around my area. Also done some torque app testing, 13 mile trip, mixture of city driving and dual carriage way, averaged 35.5 mpg with the occasional full throttle blast as i just can't help myself ahaha, still cant understand how people can complain about the fuel consumption on these, it's a 6 cyclinder 2 litre engine that's is a good few years old in terms of design, it's alot better than I expected, iv done nearly 60 miles on tenner and that's not driving like a granny either, I do use the snow button alot tho.one thing is was really shocked about was the intake Temps and intake manifold pressure, my theory was correct with the oem airbox, it's terrible, it looks like a ram airfilter set up but it's in the wrong place, soon as I can find an is300 airbox I can probably get some decent gains and throttle response out of the old beast. pics to come

Hello all, Today is you lucky day, do you have any old broken or unwanted is200 bits lying around in your sheds, I'm looking for the following, ideally I'd like to collect as i hate waiting for postage haha. Not looking for mint condition, as long as the part is all there and not too badly damaged. Front grill Front splitter Adjustment levers for electric seats Decat manifold Left hand side washer mechanism with external cover Roof spoiler lip 17x8 wheels Literally looking g for cheap as possible, so please no mint condition items Please remember if you offer any of the parts asked for you need to be a Gold Member. This also includes contacting each other via Private Messages.

Little update, Fitted some new headlight bulbs as the old ones were literally like miniature candle lights, the lenses them selves are in shocking condition but when I fitted the new bulbs, there was a massive increase in light, they are smd 5 watt for the side lights and 55watts for dipped and fogs, my 65 watt mains haven't turned up yet. Also fitted a rubber splitter as i cant afford a proper one yet haha, the lumps up u can see in the pics are the penny washers I used, when I fit some smaller ones it will look alot better. Debadged the grill as well, want a more aggressive look. I also sorted my keys out finally :) two Aftermarket keys off amazon with boot release £6 delivered then £16 for both keys to be cut. I don't know what the next update will be but I really want to get the cd player working and lights looking like new.

@Jason b, cheers for the comments mate, same as you hate seeing potential being scrapped so a fee hundred quid will be being spent on this. In all fairness all my friends and family can't believe the price I paid for it and said they would leave it how it is haha. Have a look at these two videos Have a read of his descriptions under the videos. 5cc less than oem but ecu will sort that, for all wee know cars that haven't had there injectors cleaned or replaced could be running dirty injectors causing more than 10cc drop?

Anyone?

Little update, Long story short, I was given 2 dodgy keys with the car, so i decided to try and make one good one,...... This didn't go well at all, the resin I used seeped into the circuit board and locked me out of the car. So new keys have been ordered and should be with me this week, also ordered new bulbs for the headlights and interior, Watch this space, P.s please try not to laugh at my temporary key hahahahaha

I put 40 pounds of shell super unleaded in on Friday as I was supposed to be going to London but ended up going to Bristol instead, this brought the tank to just over half way, it's now Monday, 130 miles later and it's on quarter, that's with 60% motorway at 70mph, 20% rural at 60mph and 20%urban at 20 to 40mph, with the occasional foot to the floor fun haha, so i should see about 260 quid from 40 quid which isnt bad for this car in my eyes, I do enjoy the drive and quietness, but my dad has the same problem as me, his gs was so quite he ended up putting a cat back on it just so he knew if it was on or not, I don't have that problem as mine has a hole in the exhaust hahaha. Thanks for the positive feedback guys :)

Haha Cheers man, it hasn't happened yet but it will eventually, I aim to have it looking good within the next few months

Iv got a sport, I'l take measurements and see if there the same as yours

Little update, had a bit if free time Saturday afternoon so I had a little gander under the engine bay to see what needs to be done and can be done, I removed the resonator off of the intake (5 minute job) iv taped a plastic cover over it for now but will permanently fabricate something to make it look more professional, too be honest tho, I might do away with it all together as the opening is being blocked by the bonnet, God knows how this engine gets any air. Few pics of the bay in a sorry state, few interior and some next to me old man's car. More updates to come, plan on doing the headlights next, as there in a very bad way, new bulbs coming too. Also ordered two new keys so I can use the central locking, also can anyone tell me where I can find an adapter to use the original cd player? Please see last pic.

Haven't got one yet, but will buy one soon, from experience on other vehicles you will gain mpg if driven sensibly and throttle response should improve but would br even better if the acis is deleted.

What's a Grom? I'm not to fussed about it at the moment as I'm used to using my phone as a sat Nav, in the near future I'l be replacing it with a tablet

Just been given a cd player from a friend so that will be being fitted shortly, also has aux connection so I can connect my phone :-) don't worry, when I have some free time I will be unleashing my car care kit :)

Did you sort this mate?

Just realised the op posted this in 2010 haha

Few pics of the first day I bought it, and me and the key had a bit of s fight, haha I won the fight, I'l let the pics do the talking lmao Also done 135 miles on 25 quid, that's a mix of sensible driving and spirited on dual carriage ways, motorways and city driving quite a few hills, which is alot better than I was expecting reading alot of comments say how poor the mpg is for the is200, speed as well, yes is slow off the mark but once it gets going it's quite a quick car which I wqs very surprised about, gave a 2008 bmw diesel a scare when it couldn't get away from me :-) so I am very happy with the car! So far, iv had the exterior cleaned, need to do the interior. Next job will be a service when I get the funds together and paint the brake calipers, still undecided on what colour to go as I want to keep the car looking sensible, so no red or anything else along those lines, thinking silver or the same colour as the car if I can find it.

I have the same issue

Thanks mate, the problem is, some copies can damage the drive, I'm not to worried any way as I was going to replace it with a tablet

No I no where the sat Nav is but nothing appears on the screen, I don't no whether its because the cd player doesn't work? Is there a separate drive the sat Nav disk some where in the car?

Hello All, as some of you may be aware, i have been looking to by an is200 recently for the past few months and finally found one. i am now the proud new owner of a gun metal grey is200 sport :), and for the money i paid for it, its brilliant! Due to family commitments i am restricted to carry out the usual mods i am use to, so all my mods will be subtle and for mpg, averaged 40mpg on the motorway, from stoke on trent to gloucester, about 90 - 100 miles sat between 50 and 80mph. Got the price down to 600 from 800 :) Specs and information from purchase: * Gun metal grey is200 on a 2002 plate. * Overall, very good condition inside and out for a 600 quid car. * no service history * Small bits of damage here and there * few missing bits and bobs. * small hole in the exhaust but sounds really good surprisingly *engine bay could do with a clean. * few touch ups and paint treatment needed. * 5 months mot. Future plans: *Service - Cambelt and all auxillary belt replacement, pulley and idler replaced, oil and filters, VVTI filter clean, brakes stripped cleaned and pad rears greased, tyre pressures ( i tend to run 2psi higher than required), spark plugs, coolant, grease all hinges and moving parts. * paint brake calipers red * Detail the car * Yaris injectors * reset ecu * tidy and clean the engine bay * Fit aftermarket cd player as the standard unit doesnt work apparently? * fix the sat nav (didnt even no this car came with one so im really happy about that) * fix passenger side mirror as it was hit badly a week before i bought it, * fix central locking as it doesnt work * Lowering springs * New wheels * front splitter * custom sub install *led lights where i can * headlight black out * possibly a new manifold * Renew diff oil * Renew gearbox oil due to the condition of the car being alot better than i expected, as long as the mpg is some where near what i was expecting (25 quid a week is my target for fuel) i think i may keep this car for a very long time! Some may find the above list daunting, but i love working on cars and love keeping them maintained. Pics and updates to come :) :) :)

bought an is and then drove it home :) :) :)

Just seen this and was wandering if anyone else has tried it? Or looking to try it. This along with various other mods can increase average mpg :-) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=18ON0aI-D4k https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cE5Hqg2kmgI
