you could try Torque Developments Intl, Pro-lex or Thor racing

The Altezza RS200 is a 3S-GE black top and last evolution of the 3S-GE engine range the engine is nice a rev'y engine, with manuals go over 7500rpm the cars are nice to drive all the way through the rev range, can easily be driven round the town with a reasonable mpg and when you give them a bit more of a spirited drive your find they are rapid for what there are defo bit of a sleeper, handling is very good and responsive and just a joy to drive spec wise there just not as plush as a UK IS but you can quickly swap the interior over from a UK car, all models come with traction control but there's a nice little button by the gear stick which lets you switch it off :D insurance group I dunno I never asked

Hi Gord Got the 1st round of mods finished, just saving up the money to start round 2 begining of next year :)

mines still stored under my bench at work what cooler you got

I'm sure ProLex or Fensport will be able to find you the parts you require

the IS and RS have the same clutch fittment just the fly wheels are different

hi mate I have the same kit on my tezza I've told my insurance company that this is a factory fitted kit which it is !! the side and rear skirts are TRD and the front bumper is called the legana bumper (think that spellings right ) you can buy the bumper from www.japanparts.com at £550 thats just for an un painted bumper fogs are about £55 each, and fog mounting brackets are about £40 of the top of my head

thanks guys :)

as it reads guy's n girl's does anybody know if the fuel pump is the same in the IS as the Altezza many thanks

when your looking to fit an uprated clutch in your car you will need to find out how much torque and power the clutch will take and compair this with and how much power you intend to run, this will mainly be for boosted cars tho as for the flywheel you will not need any new parts, you will be able to remove the old flywheel push the bearing out of the centre and fit it in the new flywheel (the bearing may need replacing just depends what it's like) then you can bolt it back in and fix the clutch back in place. as for what clutch you fit thats up to you. I don't know how much a clutch kit would be from toyota but I'm sure it'll be worth compairing to an uprated kit just in cost alone I got my clutch and flywheel from TDI, but there is others you can use like ProLex or fensport off the topp of my head maybe Noel will be able to help you out as he's in Ireland so I'm sure he may know some more local places to get parts

I used to run a TRD ligtht weight flywheel with a standard clutch and it worked fine ( I have the old flywheel for sale if your interested ) Now I'm running a light weight Toda flywheel and Helix cermertalic clutch, The IS200 and RS200 use the same clutch just the flywheels are different, so you may want to look at a road clutch as this will be a bit nice to drive with ( not as heavy to drive ) it really just depends on how much power your gonna put throught the transmission and how much you wanna spend

no not seen it before maybe a link would help

yeah that'll help to anybody got any ideas on how you would go about recalibrating the speedo cluster with this kit fitted as everything will read over ????

looks good Merlin did you use anything to clean the lens up at all, just 1 of mine has a bit of discolouration to it not sure if it's the glass or the inside of the head light ????

fit a camcon unit if you want low down torque I saw massive gains between 3000-5000rpm good value for money IMO

good write up :)

I'm sure Mr Siingh had a wizard on NOS kit fitted to his before he supercharged it ???????????

Did Mr Singhs car end up in Ireland

you could try asking inn the IS forum as the kits will fit both cars

I'm not sure to be honest, but I would of thought they would just make 1 loom for the AS/RS and only use some of the wires, maybe the manual will shed a bit more light on it when you can look at both at the same time

if you've got a part that needs replacing then you may as well fix it if your not going to do major power mods there's not much point in fitting an uprated clutch but as you've got the box off and sorting the bearing out you may want to think about fitting a light weight flywheel as this will improve pick up time of the car a bit

Mr Singh swapped the blocks over on his but he's no longer about. but there maybe be some threads about it as I can remember seeing pics off it on here, your just have to have a hunt about in the tezza forum I think I wouldn't of thought it would take to long to swap the block over, there's loads of room in the bay to swing it out and provided you have all the tools you maybe able to do it in the weekend

have no idea mate I can think of about 6 in the southwest over the past few years
