chaser_98

Yeah the fuel consumption not too good on the IS200 lol but i can say its better than a BMW 320i of the era, i remember my dad use to own a 320i in the 90s fuel was bad he kept saying even on this day, then he changed it for a Camry 2.5 V6 fuel consumption was noticebly better and performance was better.

Thanks again, yeah that twin cone air filter does have bit too many bends, de tours ha ha ! never knew the mushroom foam filters wer crap, i use to like them and there quite popular or atleast was once upon a time when HKS brought them out, then other makers copied them. i like the apexi type one though ! another thing(i can live with) is you lose the engine cover with a intake unless of course custom cover :(

What is the quality and finish like on these? i did look at some front ultra racing (not sure if they fit the 1G-FE or not) but was told quality is not all that, scratches on paint work, misaligned holes so cant fit unless modified etc...despite heavily advertised and used as sponsors on drift/racing cars in asia or malaysia where it comes from.

Damm that looks good, you made it look quite easy to make one, seems gd idea though ! also enough clearance for that strut bar, only minor inconvenience for me is lack of the machinery you got so need to think how to get round that bit when it comes to cutting, so guess you wouldnt recommend that twin cone filter set up on that link i posted lol - (jk) out of interest how much did it cost you all in ?

Just joined and found this site, owned the IS200 a 02 model for nearly 2 years, its only a S model was a gd deal with low mileage ;) not really new to lexus's owned few toyota's in past as with my family too, my last toyota was a imported chaser was only a 98 2.0 NA model auto(same 1G-FE engine as the IS200) not the twin turbo one sadly! Plans are intake, stereo, lowered, exhaust and of course new wheels.

Hey all, After seartching high and low for intakes/induction kits made specifically for the IS200 1G-FE it proves quite limited, seems like lot are made for IS300 or the Altezza RS200 however i did find few : Greddy trust 'arinx' intake from a japan base company was only £120ish + shipping & i presume get hit by the dreaded custom charge :( a Power tec one but at £250ish thats quite alot a brand i dont really know alot about, any good ? a 'Prolex' one at £165 considerably cheaper option IS200 prolex induction kit Lastly i spotted this: Lexus IS200 induction kit Hmmm, usually when i see these twin air filters i see them on turbo charged cars such as supra / skyline GTR's but a NA IS200 ?? Any advice on which to get be great ! thanks !
