daft money is no object car build thread
by el_bandido, 06-01-2021, 09:47 PM
Right, as I'm always thinking of daft ideas for cars, I thought it would be interesting to see what other people come up with. I've got 3 cars I'd love to build but I'll list the main one:

1st gen IS with:

exterior:
077 arctic pearl (or that nice red that soarers came in) with naked OEM carbon bonnet, carbon roof replacement (with no sunroof) and carbon boot, with legana front bumper, TRD side skirts and chargespeed rear bumper (with no diffuser). Bumpers will both be pearl/carbon 2 tone. Slight widebody, to give a hint of the AMG C63 kind of look. GTR bonnet vents.

Q45 + LS460 double projector install on IS300 headlights, with LED angel eyes. Chrome/anthracite 2 tone spray job on the light inserts (like jag XF front headlights if anyone has seen them). Leave the tangos in.
facelift rear lights with 4 skyline style LED rings for sidelights/brakes. Cree projectors for rear fog lights. Noticeable rear tint, but not obnoxiously so. After market projector fog lights for the front bumper.

19" LFA wheels in shadow chrome sitting flush.

interior:
Recaro SR3 front seats + heater elements

nexus 7 tablet in 7" flip up satnav housing (for satnav and car info apps + web and phone tether), pioneer double din and bluetooth microphone, upgraded rear 6x9's and B&W speakers from a jag in the doors for good quality sound. No sub.

Full reupholster in half leather/alcantara with diamond stitching in the centres of the seats. Black leather on black alcantara with light charcoal stitching, double stitched at all seams. Dash upholstered in 2 tone black leather + graphite alcantara, charcoal stitching again, matching the dark/light colour scheme of the existing dash. This kind of theme: http://www.automobileupdates.com/wp-cont...terior.jpg

Cupholders built in to the rear armrest.

Lexus floor mats. Laser cut mirror polished door sills with "lexus" and the logo cut out of them, white LED underlight. Chrome AC control rings. White LED dash lights behind everything, with blue LED's in all the switches (the 3 AC buttons, TRC and heated seat buttons).

IS350 dash cluster.


running gear + suspension + brakes:

3uzfe stroked to 5L, rotrex C38 centrifugal supercharger running 600bhp. Air to water intercooler. T56 6speed transmission with 0.62 6th gear. IS300 torsen LSD. Twin exit exhaust that sits nicely at the rear, no cannon style bean cans. Quiet up to 3000rpm.

Figs everything. Too many bits to list. Meister R coilovers (what else?) and hotchkis antiroll bars.

Balanced 8 pot front and 6 pot rear brakes, with 360mm floating discs. As money is no object, these might as well be carbon ceramic Big Grin

other toys:

Total close with remote activation (ie, not automatic when the car locks).
footwell lights front and rear that activate with dome light.
Forward facing night vision camera running through flip up screen (or preferably a HUD just for awesome factor) for safer night driving.
Fridge in the glove box
Transparent OLED screen over the number plates so they can be switched to blank at the press of a button, but look normal otherwise.
Additional long range fuel tank in the spare wheel well.

Diplomatic immunity optional.

maxxis ma-z1
by el_bandido, 05-01-2021, 12:44 PM
Anyone got any experience with maxis tyres?

I was going to grab another set of falken FK452's for the front, but I've found some MA-Z1's for a considerably lower price. Internet seems to suggest they are fairly good, not quite as good as the falkens in the wet though.

so... anyone using maxxis tyres here?

Spotted in belgium
by Silent Tuner, 05-01-2021, 11:29 AM
Saw a blue lexus is200 last weekend in belgium on the e40. I was after it with a grey hiace from 'toyota billiau'. I wanted to get closer but since the hiace couldn't get faster than 150km/h, the lex was going to fast. Luckaly i could take a pic with my phone. It is a bit crappy cause i had to zoom in..

IS200 engine swap questions
by drummingod, 03-01-2021, 02:44 PM
Hi guys, just looking to get some basic answers on fitting an Ls400 motor into my is200. Not going to tune it but im a big lover of V8's (im a drag racer, what u expect lol) and looking to get just a little more shove. I am planning on buying a complete car to do the conversion with.

What is involved in the conversion, i understand the engine mounts are the same but need a 10mm spacer? what about the gearbox mount? Whats the deal with the wiring and ECU? wiring isnt a problem for me its just knowing what is needed to make all things work. Can i use the LS400 ECU instead?

now the big one, id like to stay on a manual gearbox. Is this possible by using the IS200 gearbox? the reason i ask is i dont want to spend alot of money hunting down supra gearbox's etc. If i cant use the IS200 or even possibly the LS400 auto gearbox, then im not going to bother doing it as its just not worth my time as im planning on the the conversion taking a week or 2 (yes i know, i like to work fast) and on a minimal budget as possible (all my money ends up going on bike racing lol)

are there any other problems im likely to encounter?

cheers
john

Help me Prelude passengers side headlight!!!
by suzakiroqq, 01-01-2021, 06:44 PM
I've recently bought a M reg Honda Prelude. Today I was changing the headlight bulbs and knocked a plastic cap behind the passengers side headlight. This revealed a lock which appears to be switched off.

Can anyone tell me what this might be???
