Rogue

Very Freaky

Dave, car looks good bet it was worth the wait. Good luck sourcing the parts.

Got the windows tinted at weekend thought it would finish the look of the car & I am happy with the results. They look dark in the photos but in reality not to "gangsta" I hope. Calipers painted with caliper stickers (LOC Club)

Welcome to the LOC Lee.

Welcome to LOC.

Hello & welcome plenty of folks here to help with mods advice. Enjoy !

Great job very brave people out there, well done.

Welcome Dowd, sounds like you are up & running with the mods already. A Project ? so whats the plans.

Hi Bobby, did thay do the dyno ok ? any problems with setting it up ? I only asking, coz some say you can not dyno the is200 auto ? Gord Glad you & the chaps all got back safe from Germany, looks like you had a blast. They did not seem to have a prob setting up but I am now having some doubts. I might look into some other options later but car is going well, mpg is up too. Cheers Bobby

Well done Jason good luck with your interview.

Hello & welcome to LOC, lets see some photos of your motor.

Weather looks good so hope you all had a blast round the track. Good photos too.

There is no stopping you now mate :winky: now get them fitted & not stored with the other bits....did you get the bodykit on ? Cheers

Hi Adam hope all well. I had this discussion in depth at the time when I got the s/c fitted....should I keep or remove the pre-cats. People had different views at the time. Gords went within 10kmiles & Aidos lasted 25k miles and more. I allow the car to warm up & never just jump in & floor it. So I decided to keep them in, if I am right I cannot find anything by TTE recommending their removal (someone keep me right if I got this wrong). Point taken though they could have an effect on the cars performance. The TTE site document on the IS200 s/c states power 204 (150) so assuming 204 at fly & 150 at hubs, I dont have the fly power but do have more than the stated hub power. Will have a look at the hoses again though. Hers a web site for a company down Manchester way, know nothing about them just the 1st one on the Goggle search Manchester tuning Cheers mate

Jamie As we discussed I have posted details up on the UltraJap site so will see what the response is. Good mix of Jap cars on that site. Cheers Bobby

Well hello & welcome to LOC, hope to see a couple of pics of the car on here soon

Hope you all have a good trip & remember.....no booze....well not a lot :winky: Looking forward to seeing the track times.

I am not unimpressed just a bit disappointed as from all the reports I was hoping to see at least 200 at the fly. Lee has said he is getting 153.3 at the wheels & i am getting just over 154 at the wheels so on a comparison we are both close. The ECU I have is a piggyback Dastek so what is your opinion of a proper one. Never was comparing the IS to an Evo just a car I have liked but also love the shape of the IS. Still a great car & the s/c is a very worthwhile mod. Thanks for the comments. Cheers

Crackin lookin motor bet you are :D from ear to ear

I'm not much of a petrol head I'm afraid, but, I do know they were going to do something else as well as chip it. Don't really understand all this re-mapping stuff either. Just read that if you use higher Octane petrol like Shell Vpower (which I had been using) there is a recommendation to re-set the ECU??? Col Col A Dastek unichip & V-power will not give you anywhere near 300 bhp more like high 150's. I know that the Wallace guys know their stuff but unless they are turbo charging & a whole lot more you will not be getting 300bhp out of the IS200....oh & its gonna cost thousands to get those gains. Good luck though & enjoy the car. Can always meet up sometime, I'm in Kingswells. Cheers Bobby

Hi & welcome to LOC. Aido is right not worth chipping just now. I was at Wallace last night having mine re-mapped, good bunch of guys, Russell is very helpful. If you have spare cash either spend on lowering or if you want a bit more power then Checkpoint (Aberdeen) will do you a new exhaust & pipercross induction kit for the same price as the new chip (approx). If you need any more details just drop me a pm. Cheers Bobby

Could always pull a sickie :winky:

Dave the traction was off mate. I think I could maybe tweek the boost a bit higher but as Lee's is giving 153 at the wheels, I should be happy with what I got. Lets face it a few extra bhp aint gonna make a huge difference now. The acceleration on the car is very good so I will keep :D Thanks guys

Took the IS200 to Wallace performance in Aberdeen last night to see what the bhp gains were since adding the s/c. So the mods are s/c, induction kit, stainless after market zorst (all cats still in place) & the cars an auto. I have a Dastek unichip installed so was hoping this would squeeze out as many ponies as possible. Heres the charts: Before the s/c was fitted I was running just under 145 at the fly Then 2 runs last night (traction control switched off) So was reading 154.8 at the wheels with only 179.4 at the fly where had the extra 50plus bhp I was expecting gone. The overall power report The boost peaked at 5psi (0.34 bar) which I believe is about the max I should be pushing for with the engine as standard. So where has all the power gone. Got to say the car is running well & the tuner was well impressed with the s/c (& the fitting :D thanks to the chaps). Also said that the s/c chip was producing good results & again fitting was good. So from what I can see the kit is all fitted well & all seems to be doing its job except producing the expexted 200 plus bhp which should be more with the additional mods. So should I just take what I got....or think about an Evo !!! A bit disappointed but still like the car, handles well, s/c still gives the big :D . Any thoughts or opinions welcome

Well done Jamie your doing a great job. I was wondering if there was any local to that area car detailers that might like to pop along, might get some business on the day. Cheers Bobby
