DaveEdin thanks for the praise on my MAGAZINE FEATURED car as well

mr beast

we are a friendly lot here and dont appreciate your bullish replies

the yellow was a special edition as well

That wasn't called the "limited edition" though :P

yes it was, and it was actually limited to 50 or so cars

I might be wrong here so apologies if I am, but I'm sure the yellow one was called the IS200 Amarillo (based on the car being in Amarillo Yellow)

Only the grey one that came out in 2004 was called the IS200 (and IS300) limited edition.

Obviously they were both technically limited editions, but only one was given the actual name "limited edition" :)

the yellow model was a limited edition, having only 50 or so made, but not called it by model name,

the grey model although called a limited edition was not limited in numbers made, and was introduced to get rid of the model as the new models were due out

both sales gimmicks !

yep !

try the M25

you get the lorry lane

then the coach lane

then the "I am going to do 60mph and not change lanes" lane

then you get the "I am going to do the top speed of this car" lane

driving in Europe really shows what bad driving we have on our motorways ;)

Is there a LOC Stand this year?

sadly not this year

Hi,

I've got a UNICHIP that you can buy if you want, selling for £160 posted. Would probably need a remap on your car, but then so would any piggyback ecu you bought anyway :)

Not got round to a For Sale thread, but PM me if you're interested?

Cheers

Dave

Are the IS200's JDM or USDM? I know the Japanese prefer the Altezza's but was wondering if the IS's are still JDM or not.

the is200/300 were not available in Japan, only their equivalent toyota altezza, same goes for all Lexus models up to about 2005

after which they were branded as Lexus and available in Japan

Seen Bazza's is200 yesterday in leicester...spotted it a mile off!!

unfortunately not able to take a pic!

how was it looking ?

from the pictures id always admired on here, it did look like it needed some TLC

thats sad to hear !

the next round of the Toyota Sprint Series is at Woodbridge (nr Ipswich) on September 19th

the day consists of

2 practice laps

and 8 timed runs

and open pit lane, if time permits

Javelin trackdays will be running the event

in a safe and organised manner you have the chance to pit your car against 600hp 4wd monsters or 67hp mild and meek

your chance to compete against Jonny Milner (twice British rally champion)

anyone with a Toyota or Lexus can enter, as long as it has a current MOT and is roadworthy

and will be entered into the corresponding Toyota sprint class (A to F) to suit their car

and now, due to numbers being a bit low

anyone with any make of car can enter, as long as it has a current MOT and is roadworthy

there are a few exceptions (rollcages to convertibles)

this is now known as class X

so who fancy's a go ?

there will be on site catering, toilets

and a great friendly atmosphere, help with driving, mechanical problems, setting up, etc will be freely available

cost is £100

please post any questions here

or visit the Toyota Sprint forums

TSS FORUM

'Supporters' aka friends, relatives, pit crew are welcome to all events but due to security it is asked that they are registered. The price of supporter tickets is £4.00 This offer is only available if the supporter entry is paid by the driver at the same time as he/she pays the entry fee. (to cut down on admin)

Any supporter not attached to a championship driver will have to pay the full price of £6.00.

you might will find the rear and pockets are synthetic

common practice in furniture making is to make the parts not seen or sat on out of synthetic material

DOn't think so. They will stay locked even in the event of a crash

EEk, so if I end up with an L imprinted in my forehead, the Mrs and kids aint gonna be able to get out of the car without someone pressing the tiny button the other side of my slumped body :s

they may stay locked but they should be openable from the inside, although if the child locks are on the rears they wont

why dont you try it out ?

obviously miss the part about crashing out

thanks lexynik insurance will be too high paying alot now!!

and it will be even more if you stick a turbo on it !

no point phoning them, they have been closed down

the sport badge doesnt come of easily, it is attached to a plate welded onto the mesh

Hi,

How many K and what color is the stock HID XENON lights? If I want to upgrade the bulb to a higher K one do I need to change/upgrade something else too? What type of bulbs do I need to look for? What K would you recommend?

Dont know much about this.

Thanks for your respond

the OEM lamps are optimum for light levels, any change in colour would be detrimental to that

be careful changing lamps to cheap eBay ones, they could destroy the ballast units and that will cost a lot to replace

Hi all, after having purchased my car only 2 days ago i am still learning my way around the IS and would like anyone to help in telling me what kit is on my car?

FRONT My link

SIDE 1 My link

SIDE 2 My link

BACK My link

I would like to know as there are a few dings on the underneath on the front bumper and i can see it being replaced soon.

And with that, what is the part numbers for this kit please?

Thanks to anyone that can help me out :D

TRD all round

sorry no idea of part numbers

yeah i understand stav but they must have been good when their old garage was open and running.

"the old garage" is that not the one that ceased trading recently !

you need to do more than presume its guaranteed, see who is exactly offering the guarantee

is it an established company with a good reputation and lots of liability insurance

is it an insurance backed guarantee

have a lovely day

So all the stuff about 228/240bhp is loblocks basically? As there's no way really an IS200 could get tuned to that without SC/TC, and he'd make a point of mentioning that?

Whats with the engine cover btw? Says Beams on it...or is that a Toyota phrase?

yep loblocks

ask the seller how many cylinders/sparkplugs it has !

the AS200 has 6

all AS200's came with the beams 2000 logo on the air filter, probably just to replace the lexus logo !

yamaha only tuned the 3sge, they redesigned the cylinder head, naming it beams (breakthrough engine with advanced management system)

i would guess at the TTE black box ecu

located in the main ECU box

get it swapped for an HKS fcd

notorious for going wrong, and fit in with the symptom's you have

thankyou for the advice, how much do they cost, and the best place to buy it please.

most tuners or eBay

shouldnt cost more than £100

its an AS200

as you state its the same as the is200 and has only 150 bhp

yamaha didnt tune the engines !
