Performance

[corky]

hi there,

just picked up my first lexus IS 200 SE today and am well chuffed. only thing is i was slightly disappointed with the performance of the car. has anyone got any good tips on how to speed it up without spending thousands and not causing any extra wear on the engine

there are a huge number of things you can do, if you did want to spend a couple of grand on it (ok, a few grand) you can go down the supercharger route, or even a turbo, but if you don't, you can do things like replace the airfilter for a performance one, you can buy an induction kit, get a performance manifold from prolex-uk, or buy a performance back box for it. The sky is the limit really!!

Feel free to browse the garage on the site (mine is linked below), that should give you some ideas!

Have a word with Dave Ellen (prolex-uk) or Scott (Altezzascott - altezza sports and prestige), i'm sure one of them can hook you up!!

Oh, and welcome to the club!! :D

Welcome to the club.

How about trying nitrous on the N/A engine, it would give similar power to the S/C at a fraction of the cost - good for short term boosts of performance.

hi corky

is your car new or s/hand

should allow up to 10000 miles for run in on a new engine, before it realises its full power potential
