Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - john wan - 20-11-2021

Ah nice only done them once on an escort so wasny sure how much did they cost? Ive got my mot due soon am kinda worried about that myself keep lookin at the car wondering should I sell up an get somthing more reliable to break ha ha ha ha .

Gotta say I like that blue mate

Cant recall £40 i think roughly not too bad mine was only emissions so nothing bad and i have changed a lot they didnt even care about the screamer pipe lol

yeah the blue has come out really nice gonna start fitting the parts for the FPR to the fuel rail today need to get moving shows are coming up soon!

As for reliable mine is but you know what it is like you tend to cut a few corners because you just want it running plus its my daily car but all will be well just touch ups and a little bit of solidifying up

Yeah gotta fix it quick an get out driving ha ha ha just wish i had a spare car again so i could take my time Hmmm subframe collars an solid diff mounts would do that 40 isnt to bad

No worries matey I was in two minds wether to say I had it id be a bit warey of buying it might be a problem getting the bent valves out but still got that an a most of my damaged engine stil sat there if you need out .
