  1. Hi lads, recently I drove a stock IS200 (Manual) which made a slight thumb (hear and feel) on and off the throttle. It's about half or a second behind going on or off the throttle. Just before that I had the car parked with the engine running to have a look under the bonnet. I noticed that the throttle is operated indirectly to ease out throttle input from the rider. And probably reduce strain on the engine and transmission? Anyway, I was wondering if that could cause the thumb that's slighly laging behind?

    A quick hello from the Netherlands! I'm looking to replace my old Toyota with something more calm and comfortable. However I like to ride so responsiveness and riding pleasure needs to be above avarage! The IS200 don't seem to cut it on paper power wise and I really don't like the idea of a automatic transmission. So yesterday I had a go in a TTE compressor equiped sportcross and that's plenty pokey for me. Besides the compressor kit they advertize it has been equiped with: - Changed engine menagement - Exhaust - Airbox - Lowered two inch - Upgraded brakesystem (calipers, discs and lines) - Eighteen inch TTE twelve spoke alloys - Stiffer sway bar front and aft Under the bonnet I've also spotted a alloy strutbar and alloy plate above the TTE grill. The red hoses seem to be from a SFS kit allthough the bypass still had stock hoses which suprised me a little. The car felt good, strong brakes, little body roll and more torque then my Toyota. I did notice the engine doesn't change rpm quickly on upshifts and wondered if that has anything to do with the compressor kit? I also noticed a hickup when opening the throttle, I assume that's caused by the bypass valve not closing instantly preventing building up of pressure? I've allready read a little on the forum and found some good information about the compressor, like the installation instructions, thanks a lot for that!
