Here are some pics of the engine bay with the new oil and radiator caps. Today I received a new toy, the Snow Performance Stage 2 Water/Methanol Injection Kit. The only dissapointment was that i had to pay 99euro to the customs.

Nice pics mate. Keep us update with your mods

Great work you have done there Dave.

Motul 300V, 5W40

I have not yet been to the dyno to check the benefits and horsepower increase of the exhaust manifold, because it is summer and the weather is very worm in Greece. Also I will fit more upgrade parts on the car in September. I can only tell you my impressions when driving the car. These are positive since I can feel the acceleration and power when I press the throttle (i can feel the acceleration after 3000rpm). I am not sure what is the difference with the OEM manifold since i fitted the DKNE manifold together with the compressor. From what i know the DKNE manifold is equal length, it is made of steel (not stainless steel) so it is light. Furthermore it is much cheaper (including the shipping charges) than the European exhaust manifolds and i was lucky since i did not pay any custom fees. Also DKNE shipped the manifold the next day i paid them (via paypal), and i received the item in Greece after one week. Lastly DKNE states that there is an increase in horsepower in standard IS200's (without sc) and actually they are waiting to send them the dyno charts of my car. I would definetely recommend the exhaust to Lexus owners. The noise is from the exhaust manifold is more droughty but not annoying, which i love it.

Thanks guys, i called them on Friday and they gave me an email.

Thanks monster-mat, i will have a look

Nice job ormi. You diff has a lot of external rust!!! I suppose it is from the salt that you have on the road in the winter.

I found this cd/tape unit for a lexus is200, as stated, on ebay. I have not seen a similar before. I think there is something wrong and the quality also looks cheap for a Lexus car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEXIX-IS-200-1999-20...id=p3286.c0.m14

I found a Germany guy from the European LOC that has used an aftermaket downpipe from a IS300 (like the one i found) and he fitted it on his IS200 withoun any problems. The only variation is that he removed the small muffler and added a 200cells catlayst. He pointed out that even if i do not add a catalyst it would fit easily.

Why not? is the exhaust section after the manifold of the is300 total different from the IS200?

Will this on a IS200? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JVT-Stainle...eQ5fCarQ5fParts

I am also interested to purchase angel eyes. So let us know for which you will go and if they are good once you get them

Seibon from what I know

Granite Sky and Red are the best colours

What happened with your supercharger mate? Did you manage to have it repaired? Did you figure out how the damage happened?

That is great mate, the car looks nicer now and the ride must be better.

I just bought an HKS limited edition D1 oil cap from ebay. There is also one left for anyone who wants one. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=330343031686
