As far as im aware IS200 middle sections fit aswell ?

Hey folks, bit of a long shot as im new but im in urgent need of a miracle lol My Altezza arrives in Liverpool on the 5th and im going to pick it up then or a day or 2 later, if not then defo on the Monday (10th) Theres a place in Bristol (www.rtssva.com) who are going to get me through the ESVA, however the only thing i really need i cant seem to get is the centre section of the Exhaust with the Cat on it, i have the standard manifold and downpipe but i need the nextpeice to get me passed emissions, everyting else is sorted! Basically what im looking for is some1 who has this centre peice for sale (which i cant find anywhere, not even in a breakers) or some1 near bristol who would meet up and is willing to let me borrow theirs during the test, or knows of 1 i can use for the day? Im travelling all the way from Scotland so i need 2 have this sorted before i confirm the test date to arrive in Bristol and pick up my car on the way Any help greatly appreciated folks :) Dave!

Mines has a sunroof, but its not here yet :( lol

PM'd :)

I need a standard exhaust system for my Altezza when it comes, iv been informed the IS200 is the same from the downpipe back? Iv already got a hold of standard anifold and downpipe, need the rest, any1? Cheers :)

Thats what it should look like i think, i posted the pic on Tezzaworld as i wasnt 100% sure what it was and its on the Altezza iv bought

Ill take the exhaust if u can arrange delivery? I'll cover delivery cost

Umm, cars paid for and will be arriving in Liverpool hopefully next month, whoops. Well heres hoping Ill put up more pics of it later on :)

Hi mate and welcome Im new myself and also have bought an Altezza, mines still over the pond tho :( but i cant wait to get it on the road :)

Thanks, trying to get a manifold is proving tough, and is it true the exhaust is diffrent from an IS from the Maifold to the cat? as stated by IRLRs200 Really need some people who are familiar with ESVA's to pop along as i have a couple more questions im unsure of at the minute

Yeah i kow that as the engines are mucho's different, is the suspension, brakes etc the same? I'll need a steering wheel too i think

Yeah i know lol, i had thought about that but didnt want to buy a car in good condition to spray it as i was on a budget so i held out, it was frustrating so im hoping it will be worth it :) Iv just been and transfered the money so its all go from now Iv been searching online breakers for standard parts and had 1 reply, a place who told me i could have a manifold for £1762.50.. i couldnt stop laughing! Heres 2 pics just now of what will soon be my baby Any more info/comments appreciated Dave

Hi guys, iv been browsing the forum on and off for a while while pondering on the idea of leaving behind my Honda In the end i decided i wanted to change to RWD, something nice on the outside and also on the inside, being a petrolhead ment i wanted a bit more punch than my civic so after much mind changing again and again i settled on wanting an Altezza I got a friend to get hold of some1 reliable in Japan and i began my search, there was a few which had caught my eye but they were all in the wrong colours, i wanted a yellow 1 but they seem 2 be pretty hard to come by, also i fancied one with the Legana bumper (im more picky than a woman lol) after weeks of searching and getting impatient i was close 2 settling on a white or silver colour, then out of nowhere a Legana bumper'd Banana appeared and i fell in love, i informed my man in Japan and set him a budget for which to try and get me it, next to days he tells me its mines i was over the moon! I pay the rest of the due amount 2moro (mon) then its on its way here and should hopefully be here in time for or just after my 21st next month I pick it up from Newcastle and was also going to have it ESVA'd there but thats where i need yor help.. As far as im aware in order to pass the ESVA it needs 2 be completly standard, the 1 im getting has aftermarket wheels, suspension, manifold, exhaust, oil cooler and slotted brake discs. This is where i need your help if u know anyone selling the mentioned parts in standard form or what i can do to get it through the SVA with minimum fuss, (does IS suspension and exhaust fit?) i.e do the brakes have 2 be completly standard, does it matter tht the discs are grooved? Are the oil coolers standard items meaning ill have to source one or is it an aftermarket extra, in which case i can remove it until after the test? Im sure theres more but ill come to it as i remember, im looking for all the help u guys can give, anything from the best oil to use down to common faults to look out for etc, recomendations for parts, ESVA's etc Ill put up some pics in a little while Well thats my story, look forward to hearing from you all
