  1. Ive never heard of a valve lift before, how easy is this to do. or isnt it?
  2. Ive never heard of this either. For piece of mind just ring lexus and ask them.
  3. Theres a stretch near me that has a 40 limit, 50 limit and 70 limit. Its all dual carrigeway with no islands or junctions or anything. Most people do 50 in the 40, 60 in the 50 etc. Ridiculous
  4. As the old saying goes, ill eat my hat if you get that much power from them mods! Would be very interesting to see what happens though.
  5. Id love one of these but cant afford the kind of silly money that these go for at the moment. Good find
  6. An induction kit, air filter or exhaust might make your IS noticeabley faster, but it will only be fractionally. You will have to spend megabucks to turbo or supercharge. The reason you only find second hand ones is that TTE stopped making them. They do however use Eaton M62 compressors found on some mercs. and in answer to your question about chips, dont bother. They wont do anything.
  7. Could well be that the thermostat is siezed and not allowing the coolant to circulate into the rad, therefore not being cooled. If you have any mechanical know how id probably give that a go first.
  8. These are only for the handbrake though? not for actual braking?
  9. ^^^^ as above, take it back. Surely they gave you some sort of warranty if it was from a garage.
  10. had a quick look on ebay and nothing, only thing i can think of is dealers or dont you have any breakers yards near you?
  11. 18 years!!!! Holy Moly are you one of these folk whose cars stays in an air bubble unless the sun is out and its 0% humidity outside How many miles has it done?
  12. Is it just me or is that a little on the obsessice side anyhow when I had my geometry done the chap said that it was pretty good already but I still noticed a massive difference in the handling.
  13. There arent any "cheap" ways of doing it unless youre able to do fabricating and everything else yourself. Even then it will cost more than you think. In another couple of threads today ive posted a link to a kit that a guy has for sale for £1800, thats if he still has it.
  14. Rotrex chargers aint cheap! and Yes you would need either a standalone ecu or a piggy back as the standard on cannot be mapped.
  15. Ive just posted this in another thread aswell. its nothing to do with me and i dont even know if he still has it £1800 http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/lexus-is200-tte-supercharger-kit/109447210
  16. Ive just found this one on gumtree £1800 and its been on there 14 days and its nothing to do with me http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/lexus-is200-tte-supercharger-kit/109447210
  17. wow thats quite an impressive list you have there! Im quite the addict of the old flat four burble that add to the impreza. welcome to the club
  18. Kinda my thinking really but when you come to sell it, you will get your money back on the charger anyway. So you could buy it, have some fun and then flog it and youve not lost anything
  19. I was thinking exactly the same as you topped mine up and had to check in the manual that i was putting it in the right place lol
  20. It did change in 2002, dont know why, it just did lol
