Hi guys,im jus wondering how often is it ok to polish your car,i had some people tell me polishing it once a week was too much,i would often polish it twice a week if im home,is this too much ?? Also,if any of you guys have info regarding headlight washer jets giving trouble on IS200's ? mine were not working so i took off the front bumper to see what was wrong and notcied that the t piece going to the two washer jets was plugged with a nut, do these generally give bother,or do any of you guys know common problems/solutions for these, Thanks

OK thanks Asi, think id be changin the plugs alright to avoid that hassle yea im keepin my eye on the forum here and also on ebay

Thanks edeath :) I think i gotta try source myself a tte charger first though wont b easy i think :( any ideas where would be my best place to start looking for one of them ?

Ah ok thanks Asi,if i get it SC'd i want to make sure the car is still runnin well so dont wanna leave something out, cheers

Alright,thats great thanks for the info,i would rather have a tte one installed alright as its bolt on as u said and within the limits of the car,i have heard tdi to rotrex chargers too,have you any experience with them or their performance,i hear they give more hp,but maybe they arent as good for the car as tte one Do you have any ideas what kind of performance increase this turbo system by SPC will produce?? sounds v interesting In general which is better for the car turbo or charger ? Thanks for your help mate,appreciate it, lookin forward to gettin my lexus mod'd

Alright cheers mate, just a question,have you had any bother since u had it installed/anything to watch out for ?? Im very interested to get the hp up a bit any recommendations of where to go looking for a charger ?

Alright cool thats great thanks for the info,think its time to go shopping so :)

haha u really went balls to the wall eh ? what kinda power u runnin at now? do you need any other engine mods for the charger to run well ? how much ya talkin for a SC bought and installed ? Aye hey id love ta take a wee spin up to ya sometime n check it out if ya dont mind ? Cheers for your help

Hi,my name is Paddy i'm new to the LOC,i have a 01 red IS200 sport and am currently thinking of performance mods, theres so much free space in that engine bay it seems like a shame to let it go to waste I was considering a supercharger or a turbo,i have heard the superchargers can be quite stressful on the engine,is this true ? are there any long term effects of having a charger or turbo installed and which would you guys recommend for an IS200,i know the charger will give more power but im just wonderin in general which is better suited to the car ?? Do you guys know any people in Ireland north/south with experience in fitting these to IS200's or would i have to take it to the UK to get the job done ? Thanks for any info, cheers, Paddy
