Today the weather was sunny and warm so i took the car for a ride and took some pics:

Where did you buy them from mate?

Hi I am lookig for an air cooling plate like the one below.

I am not sure, he was selling the rear lights lately

Has anyone fitted this JDM headlights on a IS200?

Hi Rob, the first intercooler is the one me and edeath have. DJ Wozza and Rabster used the second intercooler.

it is easy to fit, half day work or a full day with brakes. It is the cheapest option to raise power to 200bhp. If you choose the turbo road you are looking for much more than 2k.

Well mate SPC charges around 5500 for a turbo kit (240bhp)!

Yeah i was watching this in my eBay, wish i'd bought it to be honest, but im trying to keep to a budget before christmas, and i've decided i really need to get the springs first, car sits far too high at the moment! Just struggling to find anybody that knows where to get TTE springs from I dont suppose you would know where to get them mate? Thanks for letting me know about this anyway, much appreciated :) I would rather go for Tein springs. Much better and easy to find on ebay and other places in UK.

Good search mate.

Are you sure mate? And what is this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lexus-is200-trd-fron...=item414b40c256 You better harry up! Only 2 hours left

true - your color is really rare. probably haven't seen any of those here in Lithuania. btw, was there any golden like color of IS available? Most of IS200 in Greece are granite sky

Hi mate, welcome to the club. Tell us about your car

Welcome to LOC mate, started already the mods??hehehe

Nice steering wheel mate. Congratulations

Today I bought a brand new TTE Supercharger (only the Eaton M62 supercharger together with the moded clutch from TTE). I will post pics in the weekend. Also Iv decided that is time to start playing with the Autometer Gauge Pod. I bought from ebay a second hand air dash vent for 20 pounds and a plastic bumper filler. So hopefully i will have both items next week in my hands and start the Gauge pod project.

The TTE rims arrived today and hopefully I will have them fitted on my car this weekend. I will post pics during the weekend!

I have the same colour mate. Very nice looking car. Have fun with it

Yes they have identical engines

Hi Kyle, great buy. Jay had written a few posts in the past that he had problem with the aftermarket ECU. This might still be the problem that he has not solved yet.

I bought the bars from this shop: http://www.maxaudio.com.my/index.php?act=v...t&catId=798

Well I took the car for a good drive today and I noticed that the car handling is much better. All reactions of the car are quicker and the car gives a good safety feeling during corning, braking and when passing over anomalous road surface. Well I have fitted also the rear strut bar so i cannot say if the Ultra bars only do a good job or the rear strut bar or both!

Hi mate, welcome to LOC. any pics?

Today I visited my mechanic after work to fit the Tanabe rear strut bar and the Ultra Racing under bars. Firstly we replaced the under bars. The first thing I noticed is the Ultra bars look stiffer and stronger in compare to OEM. Furthermore the bars have roughly the same weihgt with the OEM bars. Here are some pics of the OEM and the Left and Right Ultra bars fitted on the car. The fitments was very easy just remove the two screws that hold the bar. OEM Bar Right Bar Left Bar Once the Ultra bars were fitted on the car it was time to install the Tanabe rear strut. For this job is used a dimond core drill. I took of the strut edge base and fitted on the car to see where to drill the hole. Also kept the car lifted during installation so the that the load of the upper mounts shocks is relieved and balanced out. Once the bar was installed on the car the preload can be adjusted and set. After the bar is bolted and the car is lowered each shock will have equal load and will prevent independent movements of each shock. So once all the parts were fitted it was time to go for a ride. First impressions was that the car fills more solid. Next impression was the steering responce improved and lastly the handling was improved.

Here are some pics I took of the Tanabe Rear Strut Bar:
