one question. seeing as the power has been upped quite a bit im interested in knowing how the IS200 chassis copes and what you have had to do to get it to accomodate it? i.e can the power be put down without it stepping out, wheels spinning etc. Although i assume that the racelogic traction control will be sorting a fair few of those conditions. but as the chassis was designed for half that power i wud have thought i might put up a little fight.

I find that the supercharger alone causes enoguth problems for grip in the wet as it is, lol.

Dont think TTE uprated the chassis to accomodate the Supercharged V8,so i would say it can take it.

was more thinking about uprated bushes etc. Cant wait to see it all running. roll on the Bluewater meet!

all bushes have been done (TRD) when I put the edfc on to the stiffest setting its like a go kart.

as i get used to it (even using only 3500rpm) it feels perkier (NOS tannks are out :sick: ) so the head mods must work as well as the lighten f/wheel...

cant wait

Off to get the uprated intercooler measured up tomorrow :whistling: this will fill the lower grill completely and be deeper. No wasted space behind the bumper :whistling:

Running in is going well only problems are a difficult 1st to 2nd when cold which Mark will sort out when the next stuff is done. The quick shift is now silent as well...

Got overtaken by a L reg Metro diesel :sick: the other day on the M25
