yeah it was about 6ft if not higher and only half the space inside was taken up haha


Yeah im thinking on keeping the purple theme going but a dark purple for the caliper brackets and just black for the drum

Favorite photo of it :)

Forgot about some stuff ....

New radiator



Spare rear wheels after the other tyres got shredded and was waiting for the new tyres

Rear lip to lower the back bumper as it looked to swept up.

Purple stuff!!!



Got something big on the way but will update as i go :D

Got these skirts waiting for a spray and fitting them

Decided "hey i dont see much people with yellow lights and eyelids !"

Eagle eyed viewers would notice i put the coilovers on before the rear lights but hey ho i forget the order sometimes ha

Random bits and bobs

C-West From bumper
Scared about how it would fit but was a great fit as you can see.

HSD coilovers came and fitted

HKS Super Silent Hi-Power arrived in a rather large box......

Personally i dislike the chrome rear lights so got new units

Wheels bought and on ( looked stupidly small when the car was sitting at standard height even though they are 18"

Hey folks just doing a small progress thread

Got the car just over a year ago as a standard example with 96k

Said i wouldn't modify it in any way as it is my first car but that kind of got blown out the window....

So here she is.
First day i got it.

Hey Folks

Bored of the wheels on the car just now
A set of Rota GTR's 18" 8.5" wide, ET35

Looking at a new set that are 18" 9.5" ET10

Anyone running this kind of size ?

My arches are already rolled and pulled out a few mm but with the 9.5" i think i will need a set of over fenders of bolt on archs etc

Any help is greatly appreciated

Some more random bits and bobs

The Main parts of the TTE kit


Carbon Bootlip i have lying about..




Some shots of the car without the Front bumper on.




Car Friends !

Decat and Rear Lip (that is still not painted ! HA! )

As for the build i currently have to:
1. Get the side skirts on but need to raise it as i won't be able to get into my car park ha!
2. Thinking a complete overhaul with the front suspension as in wishbones, arms etc etc
3.Fancy another set of wheels
4. Paintwork is in a bad way since we had bad weather last month and the car was sitting for 2 weeks it got mashed by tree branches etc and scratches everywhere.
5. ABS is having issues
6. Airbag light is on for no reason
7. Need a guide on how to remove the steering wheel as i have a nardi snap off item but i can't get the wheel off the rack splines :(

Keeping both cars Stu :)

Yeah looking at a fresh import from DCY Europe, Already been tuned and body mods, can get pics if anyone wants to see.

Already done insurance and its £1000, which is odd because i got a quote on a R35 gtr for £800 hahaha with admiral aswell !

Yeah would like a bit more power from the Lex but at the moment its just a car for normal driving when im at home, No daily commute for me or anything like that.

Oh and before people think im a hooligan with a big exhaust its a HKS Super Silent Hi-Power so its very quiet but improves over the standard unit :D

Stu,
Thanks man :)
Yeah been pretty busy and still have a heap of odd bits in the cupboard haha
The headlights are just a yellow film and thought it's a bit different :)
Ride height is too low at the moment so gonna raise it sometime soon as it can be a bit much on bumpy roads ha!

John,
I actually have a TTE supercharger kit in my cupboard also haha /

But i need info on the fitting etc as a performance garage i spoke to gave me a list of things i need to upgrade and some are a nightmare.

When i first insured it, it was £1000, after the started putting mods on it peaked at £1400
I've recently got my 1 years no claims and it dropped to £600 haha !
Think being 23 and 1 year NCB helped alot :D

Which is also why im buying an R32 GTR in February :)

Hey Folks,

My name's Joel and ive had my Is200 for just over a year now.
It's my first car as i didn't want any little shoebox car for a first and being 22 when i passed my test was a boost for insurance etc.

So from the start....
Pic Heavy...
If you have any questions just copy the photo and write and question below it :D
