First Lexus! (IS200)

[Shizukesa]

Hi there!

Just got my first Lexus, a 2004 IS200 SE with 82k on the clock! 🙂

After 2 weeks, all I can say is, wow! What a smooth engine!

Fuel is ****, but other than that I love it.

As for mods and maintenance, here's what I've got in store over the next few months:

• Timing belt, water pump, idlers and aux belts.
• New spark plugs
• K&N panel filter
• Maybe a new stater motor since I think the current one is on it's way out.
• Oil change with oil/fuel filter.
• HID light conversion.
• Exhaust (HKS Silent or Cobra)
• Sort out some bodywork issues (seen in the pictures).
• Wheel refurb.
• EBC brake lines, rotor and pads.
• BC or HSD coilovers
• Maaaaaaaybe a supercharger
• Lightweight flywheel (next time the clutch needs doing). Hopefully this will stop that DMF clutch judder in first gear.

Here she is:

I was wondering what exhausts are common and sound good for the IS200?

For me it's between:

• HKS Silent Hi-Power
• Cobra Cat Back (resonated or possibly non resonated)

Any advice would be appreciated! 🙂

Thanks!
