Cool i like the altezza kit that they have on there.

Does any1 recon that it is worth trying to find a car with sat nav already installed??

cheers bud, how much did it cost you?

cool, how much does it cost and how much is it for spraying and fitting?

I guess this doent affect the insurance as it is a lexus part???

thats one of the problems i have had, cuz i cant find any witht the styling kit already on. Can u buy it separately??

Right cool thanks.

Well insurance wise i am getting quoted around £3000 for fully comp insurance. But cuz both my parents will drive it some times as well I can be a named driver on their insurance and so the total cost is around £1300 from tesco.com. I would give them a try tho with regards to insurance they are damn good as are norwich union who i have insurance witht o drive my dads E240 Merc which is in group 16! Also check out the autotrader insurance finder service which is pretty good, but cuz I am a young driver I dont get many quotes. So does the SE spec car have leather and the cd changer for example??

I have thought about insurance greatly. And yeah i suppose they may not even insure me if i have any mods at all. Put it this wa my mate has a 1.1 peugeot 106 and a few mods have nearly doubled his premium!

Would you suggest that i should go for the sport model or the SE model is200, as i cant see that there are that many differences apart from the one insurance group (not much difference in quotes).

Aleso the supercharger does sound like a good idea, but the only one i can fins is around £4K, (bit too much for my budget)

Right cool bud uve been a real help thanks.

Just wondering though what the performance of the is200 is like really as ive only tested it in a town. COuld NE1 give me some general overview of the car and what its like to own one, what other people think etc...

cheers buddy,

would you suggest getting an induction kit as well.

whats this gunna do to my insurance??

I know IS exhausts are reportedly quiet, but the problem is I am only 18 and insurance is pretty tough for me you see and I recon that if i stick a full sports exhaust and induction kit on the car then they may just take all the money i have!! Thats why i was looking at the ECU as in some cases they are almost untraceable.

I would go for the induction kit/exhaust, but i dont want the car to sound NE different. What other tuning could i do to the car?

Alright Guys;

I havnt actually got a IS200 yet but am trying to find a black sport model to buy in around 2-3 monts time (18th Bday!!!!), after test driving one at my local dealer I fell in love.

Does NE1 know whether it is possible to get a superchip for the IS200 and how much roughly it will cost, power gains etc???
