  1. Going to get my cambelt and water pump done tomorrow. .got it check today ..it was worn out ..on the edge of the cam sprocket and starting to crumble at the edge...once it's done..that will be ..New radiator. .New brake pads f/b..4 New Uniroyals 215/45-17..my Is200 Sport is ready for another..70k miles of peace of mind thrashing..😂😂😂

  2. Make sure you give it a good thrashing without abusing..drive it and keep the engine running for over 45mns to make sure the fans kick in atleast 3 times..check the heater..if it's Lukewarm and not blowing hot air..the radiator is worn out. Plus any clunkinh noises when you come to a stop means ball joints need changing..so be vigilant and lucky...I got an Is200 sport..1999..one lady owner😎 lucky me...everything works fine

  3. Thinking of swapping an is200 Sport for GS300..Problem is if you are not going to do over 130mph..then the is200 Sport is perfect..but the 2jz keeps tempting me..as there is only 4mpg difference in fuel consumption. .thats what the official Lexus fuel chart states.. Help

  4. You are so unlucky. .samething happen to me..water leaked out of my radiator and the temp gauge didn't rise at all..the car just refused to start..so I waited for over two hour for it to cool down completely before I topped up with lots of antifreeze ..that's where you went wrong..you refilled it with plain water too quickly and cracked your head..the is200 is design to cut out if it's going to overheat..and it did that

    but you wrecked it..my little knowledge of cars saved me..wasn't fun waiting for over two hours for it cool down..got a Koyo radiator and it's been happy motoring ever after..😎

  5. Sounds like your head gasket is knackered. ..where the fans working?..radiator fans I mean..check that first..1G-FE are tough..very tough..my rad failed..temp gauge went right to edge of the red zone..and the engine cut off..didn't start till the engine cooled and I topped it with anti freeze and water ..used the car for about a week before I notice a big puddle of water under the car...I topped up and drove to my mechanic..red was replaced 7k ago..engine is fine..I be actually been to Germany and back..not a drop of oil or water used on 1000 miles ..163k..not out..is200 sport..6spd..daily commuter

     

  6. Clutch judder is caused by NOT getting the Bitting Point right..it's very sensitive..I had the same problem with my IS200 Sport..no need for a new clutch..same thing will happen if you get the Bitting Point wrong. .so start practicing. .you have to come off the clutch almost completely before you apply the power..once you master it..it becomes so easy😂😂😂

  7. I fixed my clutch judder in a day or two..you MUST get the bitting point Spot On...that's all folks..no need to ride clutch or any thing else..I stumbled on it by chance..so keep practising guys. ..biting point is sooo sensitive I mess up once a while😥just got back from Germany..I kept up with everything apart from real super cars..is200 in-hear acceleration is sublime..just forget 0-60 sprints..focus on 60-125😂
