Is200 owner - Brigade - 15-06-2020
Hi guys,
I was recommended this forum by speedfreak via mx5nutz
I have been driving jap cars for years having gone through the gran turismo garage mx5, FTO, mr2, celica gt4, 300zx, civic , crx , prelude
I see my is200 on eBay locally and picked it up for the nice sum of £800
125k on the clock but still pulls like the engine has only done 25!
So I have decided to sell my mx5 and spend all the proceeds on the Lexus

Welcome to the club!
For Japanese cars and is200 especially you've found the right place!

Welcome to the club, best colour for an is200 as well :wink:
Is200 owner - Brigade - 16-06-2020
Thanks for the welcome guys!
I love the colour it's looks so nice when given a polish.
My plans are pretty basic for the time being, getting a service, clutch change and cambelt done firstly then a few basic mods exhaust( its far to quiet for my liking
) lowered and induction wheels ect...How does these react with induction kits? Worth it?
Also anybody got a japspeed exhaust on theirs? Looks good value

Japspeed is fairly loud many people here have one so that's a good recommendation.
Induction kits are easy enough to make yourself for a fraction of the named brand costs - there isn't much BHP difference but will be louder for sure. If you really want loud induction noise just remove the bonnet sound proofing.
Have a look at Sprinter2012's thread for the DIY induction kit and Bandit has also got a thread somewhere covering the same thing.

i have the japspeed and love the noise it gives, just have a look on youtube for videos of it fitted sounds even better with an induction kit
and as said above make your own its pretty simple to do

Yeah I had a gander on YouTube and it gives a nice deep growl, plus it comes with a bung so I can muffle it a bit for when i go to work meetings lol
