Supercharged Lexus IS200 SE

by Lexuspat, 03-05-2018, 06:58 AM

hi all i thought id make a thread about my lexus is200 SE in graphite grey

where to start this is my second is200 after i went of the road in my first one which was a sport back in january.

this one is on a Y plate and is in Granit Sky 1C6 now all i can say is with a 3yrs old little girl and a baby boy my cash flow is slow and low so mods do come but slowly

so heres a pic of when i got her home



first mod was the sports grill which i got of ebay.



then i bought a set of clear rear fog lights and some new plates as the ones on the car where broken.



JDM my headlights and fogs





then i painted the callipers yellow and add the lexus decals



thought the engine bay could do with a dress up so painted some of the covers and made a custom intake and engine cover also fitted a S/S oil catch tank



got a set a dials from the other side and fitted them in



then decided to get creative with some Di-Noc carbon fibre vinyl so did wing mirrors and the electric window switches



also added KANJI symbols on the side



aslo went on a roaling road day with dan (N15_GTi) to see what we got out of her and this is the results



so there it is my car

now for the big list of things that need doing so anyone knows where i can get these parts or if they have one they want to get rid off let me know

need a new rear bumper as the one on the car is damaged

need a new front bumper or tte one for a good price

need my alloys refurb as they are in a really bad way anyone now where i can get them done for a good price near lincoln as ive been quoted £50 per rim.

a drivers side headlight

as you can see this list is not huge but can be expensive so any help would be great.

Nissan Almera GTi (N15)

by N15_GTi, 02-05-2018, 04:12 PM

Hello All,

As I have done a fair amount to my car already, I shall create a nice long opening post of the story so far... So here we go:


BASIC INFO: Nissan Almera GTi - SR20DE 2.0 16V

So here are a few pics of when I bought it:







It was in pretty good condition, paint work was really good apart from stone chips and scrapes on the front bumper. It already had lowering springs on and Scorpion Cat-back but I wasn't a huge fan of the wheels that came on the car, so I changed them. I also added the clear side repeaters at the same time.

Just after I put them on:



Next on the agenda was to paint the calipers, as so:



Then looking at that picture, the only thing that really let it down was the ride height.
Eventually some coilovers (Daiyamas) became available which I snapped up, then fitted:





Which in my opinion completed the look I was going for, including much better handling.

So next, were the minor engine mods that I could do. The first step was add the 4-2-1 manifold and sports CAT. This completed the exhaust as I already had a cat-back. Following this I added an Apex'i Power Intake filter. Also added polyurethane engine mounts to make the engine/gearbox a lot more solid. At first the engine was filthy, so with the couple of mods I decided to give the engine a bit of scrub:

ENGINE WHEN I BOUGHT IT:


ENGINE NOW



So then I decided to go to my first proper car meet - JAE (Japanese Auto Extravaganza). Here are a few pics









Since the show I have made a couple of other changes, which will follow in the next post...
