Hey guys,
Just bought myself a Silver IS200 Sport on a 2000 X plate, wanted one since my boss had one as a company car when they were first released - have to say it's impressive how even after 9 years the car still has a real chunk of 'as new' appeal - talk about well built!
It's a real change for me as for the last ten years I've been driving old-skool VWs, so I've only ever owned Golfs, Passats and Corrados. Decided to take a break with something Japanese, RWD and well built so the IS seemed like an obvious choice. Would have got a newer VW but they just don't make them like they used to!
Here are my last few cars:
Currently torn between keeping the IS standard as it's such a nice allrounder, or planting it on some coilovers with a few subtle tweaks to the visuals.
Couple of questions if I may!
How much lower is the Sport than the S or SE, and what's the best value coilover system for the IS?
Is there any way to remap the drive-by-wire throttle system to improve throttle response?
Approximately how much fuel is left in the tank when the fuel light comes on?
Will get some pics of the IS up as soon as I've given her a thorough clean!
Cheers,
Will
