Bandit's Supercharged IS200 take 2 :-)

by Bandit, 07-06-2018, 09:38 PM

Most of you now know that i've now got my old Lexus is200 sport back? :w00t:

Huge thanks to Rabster for helping me out over the last couple of weeks and making things go to plan, top man :thumbup1:

Ok so i went down to Stansted airport on Saturday afternoon on the train, Rabster picked me up and took me back to his place, where my IS200 was parked up :w00t: had a look at it and then we went for an Indian and a pint :thumbup1:

The next morning, i was up at around 4.30am and outside peeling the stickers off the bonnet, much to Rabster's surprise when he stuck his head out of the window around 6.30am :laugh: does look better but still got some to remove,

Anyway enough rambling and on to the car, we set of to the WIM meet, and parked up, had a wander and a chat to some of the members, then decided to fit the Supercharger kit, went on pretty easy as Rabster had already fitted the cradle, pulley and Intercooler, we soon got the charger in place and the pipework fitted, we didn't rush but got there in the end, :thumbup1:

Mods so far on the 1st day of re-ownership..

Empty engine bay..


TTE Supercharger..on its way into the engine bay..



Fitted..


Made the induction kit for it today, and fitted it..


Big filter sticking up..


Sport Grill sprayed and fitted...

Before..


After..


also took the carbon VVTi and alternator covers off, sanded and re-lacquered..

Can see them in this pic..


Blue Flame Stainless cat back exhaust..



Hopefully my next job will be to fit the polished rocker cover that i've been doing,


Then going to polish the supercharger and all pipework, Alternator, fuel rail, throttle body and anything else that will come up shiny? Also going to make some stainless bottle covers again for the PAS and Brake fluid bottles..

I've also fitted the Phillips 6000K HID kit and Polished radiator brackets, :thumbup1:

So not a bad start to the car so far, loads to do though, the bonnet might have the centre carbon wrapped for the time being, until i get some more funds together and have it resprayed, the boot lid could do with replacing due to quite a few holes in it from different spoilers being fitted? or another option was to carbon wrap the centre of the bonnet, the roof and the top of the boot lid?? but not sure what to do as yet?

Mods so far...

TTE Supercharger,
Custom induction kit,
HKS fcd,
HKS SSQV,
HKS Boost Gauge,
Exeddy organic clutch
Blue Flame cat back exhaust,
Decat Manifold
6000k HID kit,
Sport Grill,
Carbon VVT-i and Alternator covers,
Vented front fog lights,
Stainless Dial Kit,
Multi coloured led dash lights,
Clear door lights,
UV foot well lighting,
Wood dash kit.
TTE Anti Roll Bars
Koni top adjustable shocks fitted with Koni lowering Springs

oh and a pic of the bonnet at the moment, lettering is going to come off in the morning if it stops raining :Chair:


Not a bad start and lots more to come :thumbup:

Hello all,

I'm Stevie from the TB Developments forum, your neighbours at JAE this year.

First I'd like to say a big thanks to your organisers for giving up that little bit of space to let us get a pitch, its very much appriciated. No doubt I'll see you all there with a beer in hand.

Moving onto cars (this is why we are all here ins't it?lol) I currently own a rather sad looking Mr2 that on axle stands, and the next time she comes off there will be to go to the scrappy due to engine failure and me giving up ad:

I had an Mx5 for a few months, it was an awesome little car but a mate bought it off me on Friday.

The next car I will have will be an Mr2 turbo, I should be picking it up in a couple of weeks and she'll be coming along to JAE with me.

I look forward to meeting you all, and I'm off to have a nosey around the forum

Cheers
Stevie
