i got a quote from direct line (online quote this is) for me on my own at 20 with 2 years NCB its £952 for an is200 sport! i know they are real quotes as this is how i insured my golf online as it was cheap and i snapped it up lol, tey seem to be really good for us youngun's! edit: thats full comp by the way!

mmm like the first set as well personally, id say 18's purely as im a bit of a huge wheel hater for price hikes from 18" rubber to 19" is a little steep!

nope... no1 willing to share their secrets to the apparently un-tunable engine lol

yeh your reason over fuel efficiency is same for my reason for wanting one over power lol. they are pretty cars, and well once ive got the coilover kit on, "played" with the diff ill have a comfortable daily commute drifter ;-) thats not that bad on fuel! un-related or rather very! turbo kits for the is200.. i know superchargers are about 3k / 2k 2nd hand but how much is a turbo kit..? ive found one on prolex, but doesnt state a price and i was just wondering for future "upgrades"

wow lol, im liking the lexus more and more hahah, so its more economical then bmw as they just reach 28 mpg ish and is NOT a cmoon car and looks like a lean mean fuel drinking beast (the is200 does look aggressive i think) with GOOD fuel read back, does the lexus have an on board computer to tell u mpg, and range etc?

wow im surprised some are able to claw the 35mpg! looks like if i need to save tad on fuel driving like and old man and general economical driving i can eek 35 out my daily run!!!!

ripping out anything let alone flywheels sounds expensive, due to lack to HUGE power im looking into fitting a hydro handbrake into the car only thing now is where to put it as unlike the bmw's etc i dont really want to be cutting the lexus centre console up as its going to be a bit more expensive...

cool thanks for that, just nice to know, when ur planning future stuff. if it concerned me that much i wouldnt pick a more un-economical and slower car lol, all my mates that drift have bmw's and after going out in daves yellow altezza, (i know different engine etc) but its just a nice car! and i love driving :D

yeh i know the 328 is faster but its a bmw and i dont want to be ANOTHER BLOODY bmw lol. i like the look and reaction from an is let alone how awesomely mean they look sideways :P

live in winchester, hampshire looking fwrd to gettin my IS200 in june ahhhh!

no im not threating about the fuel cost ( ive been deciding against a 328 bmw which is far from economical either lol. just intresting to see some figures as i didnt have a clue just ppl poo poo'ing the is as usuall! my run to uni is 8 miles A road at constant 60, then like 10 miles motorway at a good 70 and then 7 miles of rubbish town driving! Another quick question the VVTI bit of these engines ive been told is similar (not as good obviously) as honda vtec idea that kicks in about 6k revs that true? edit: i currently drive a 1.9 TD golf so personally as long as its about 30 mpg ill be happy as a cost to just smile at when im behind the wheel of an IS200 , by the way i cant wait till june when i get an is200!

hello guys and girls, search gave 0 results so thought id make new topic. Ive heard the mpg on the is200 is comparitivly rubbish in relation to performance, but how bad is it really? ppl able to quote there mpg usgae and the driving area / style etc car / mods made: usage: town, mtorway etc pedal behaviour: mashing it to the floor or gental drive, even a granny drive pace lol?

Thats bloody smart is that! copy and pasted to save this ready for when i get my lex. Top job and attention to detail!!

hi guys and girls, wondered what the best mods to do to the is200 performance wise are, from small things like intakes and exhausts to chargers and turbo's be interesting to have a list of what people have fitted and how highly they rate the mod. Havnt found anything through search so thought this would be a good collective idea collection! :winky:

so how does this cover work, im sure im wrong but it sounds like u cut the shape of the part out and stick the metal cut out on top?
