One of the reasons the standard IS200 appears so slow to 60 is it needs a second gear change, into third to hit 60.

A bit of a shocker there, but not surprised that it need 3rd speed to hit 60. It seems to be the way for the VTEC, and VVTi bridgade.

I was reading an article in the CAR mag about a test they did on a Golf, Honda Civic, and a couple of other super hatches. The Honda was the only one that needed 3rd speed to hit 60.

When I test drove the IS 200 a few years ago, I didn,t really get the chance to floor it till we got to the Motorway, so I couldn,t figure that out.

it'll be no problem beating the IS300.. been there and done that....

I've asked about the manifold.. AVO has a jig (sp?) for the turbo, but they would rather sell it as a whole kit.. if you are really interested i can pester them (my natural talent) to sell it as a one off.. they did mention they can, but it wouldn't be cheap...

maybe roughly around 400 pounds and above.
