well if you've blown a hole in the block you gonna need a new 1 and thats that

you could maybe think about dropping an MR2 Turbo lump in as I'm sure they use the same bottom end in as the Altezza I just know the heads different. you may have to look into this for a bit as you will be turning the engine round 90 degrees so there maybe other things to think about

yep

I know this is for the IS.

But I can't see toyota having different loams for the IS/AS and RS

the Altezza system is 2 3/4 inches so there isn't really any need to increase the bore size of your exhaust system, having to big a bore can actual have a negative effect

Hmm not 100% sure as I've still got the jap Battery on mine

would of thought you could fit a Battery from an IS200 or maybe even a MR2 or Celica

pm coming your way Widnes is200

I've sent a mesage to the seller of this and the only thing that puts me off is the high millage displayed on the clock 148000 miles

good stuff

Hi Robin,

You were interested in one from a group buy that mike morse was trying to set up a year or so ago IIRC? Wasn't he wanting £250 odd per unit :shutit:

told ya this was a bargain folks!!

yeah I had spoke to mike about this a few years back but there didn't seem to be the interest to get a group buy going. I think he was talking abot £250 a unit, so that why I jumped on this 1 :D

thanks guys

oow nice price, defo having some of this action ;)

please pm me closer to the time as I find it hard keeping track of things on here

I know where you mean

ouch hope you get it sorted soon

is that on the road to Shepton mallet ???? junction looks familiar

can anyone point me in the right direction on how you would go about removing the head lining from inside an IS200

any help welcomed

really easy

unscrew all sunvisors,rear view mirror,center light(lift out light cover and theres 2/3 screws),grab handles.

unclip c,b,a pillar covers(easier if door seals are pulled off slightly)

and basiclly just falls out,its easier to remove if either the passenger or drivers seat is removed

not to sure about the sunroof cover yet as im yet to do it

hope this helps

azz

Thanks very much

all sorted now :D

Yeah Chris is now good for Audi/VW parts ;)

found my local toyota dealer useless, didn't really seem to show much interest in my requests, think mainly cos i was looking for a part for an import and it would of meant doing a bit of digging as he was moaning that the import parts are hard to find because it wasn't a UK frame number on the car.

In the end I spoke to my mechanic mate, who contact Lexus Poole, He Spoke to a young guy there, really helpful new about the import models and sorted the part out no problem at all.

Even compared the prices between lexus and toyota to see if there was any difference in price. :)

as it reads

is there anyone on the forum I can buy genuine parts from

My 5AT has HKS Induction, RS-R Stainless manifold and downpipe, no cats, HKS Suiper Dragger II back box and CamCon and makes about 170 at the wheels. Estimated as about 220 at the fly so up about 10% on standard.

Assume the same %age for a 6MT and it should be around 230 at the fly and a possible 190 at the wheels.

yep thats what I was running

sort the exhaust system out, manifold and decat, fit light weight flywheel if you can ( I have 1 for sale check the buy and sell forum ) and get a camcon fitted.

that should see you running about 190 at the rear wheels

thanks very much for the help

I'll give you a shout once I've found out which 1 it is

I've recently changed the final drive on my Altezza from 4.1 to 4.5 and now the speedo reads over

I was wondering who re-calibrates the speedo cluster when you import a car ???

Is this done by the importer or is this done at the test centre

can anyone help as I'm looking to get mine done

thanks very much

I'll have to print it off and take it out to have a look at the cluster but it may be of some help

does any body have a wiring diagram or the pins for the speedo cluster in the RS

or maybe even IS ???

where you have the speedo surround ( the funny goldie bit) there's 2 screw in the top of it I think, and 1 down below where the ignition key fits in around where your knee would be

once you've taken them out you should be able give it a bit of a pull and it'll come off

then there another 3 holding the cluster in you should be able to see all of these
