My new toys - dimis - 27-07-2019
The lsd (from the sport version) I fitted on the car last year had quite a few thousand miles, so I decided to fit new differential mounts and today I got a full set of them.

Hi, at the garage at the moment fitting the Jun flywheel and TRD clutch kit. It is a nightmare to remove the gearbox from the engine! Also the oem flywheel bolts are long for the Jun flywheel. I forgot this small point. Well i have to have them cut unfortunately. Pics will follow later.

Small update, no need to cut the bolts. The lenght is ok!!!The Japs have taken into account everything!

Ok as I stated above, a few hours ago I installed the flywheel and clutch kit. And what can I say. I am speechless. This mod is a MUST if you have a supercharger. The car has totally transformed. You can feel the power of the car going to the road and of course it leaves you with a big smile. The acceleration is something else. Lightweight flywheel, upgraded clutch kit, supercharer kit and short shift kit is a must for a Lexus IS200. Now on the road the clutch is a bit more hard to press to change gears but i got used to it very fast. Also it is to drive in traffic. The car does not kick when i start from stop and also during reverse-parking. I can only say now that the clutch now engages from almust the start and not half way of its travel.
Here are pics during installation:

looks good mate!

Sparkystav looks good mate!
Thanks mate and as you can see TRD fits well on the IS200 gearbox. So I believe other kits will fit too..
My new toys - dimis - 02-08-2019
Right the car is fantastic now. It even spins with 3rd gear. It revs better and it accelerates much faster now. During gear changing the revs do not fall much and you can feel the car going much better.

Sounds like its a good kit mate, and the setup is working well
My new toys - dimis - 15-08-2019
A small update regarding the Jun flywheel. It still works fine and gives me a big smile when I hammer my foot on the throttle. From the experience i had up to know I can say that in traffic jams and up hills the car drives ok, probably it has a lot of power so I do not need to press more the throttle or change gear to overcome any hill. The only problem I have met up to know is to park at a hill or start from full stop at a big incline. In both cases I had to rev the engine a bit before I left my foot from the clutch, otherwise the engine will turn off.
BTW yesterday I kicked an OCTAVIA RS 270BHP (it had a revo ecu/map and a miltek exhaust) from stop and I did the same with a fully tuned Civic Type R, around 260BHP. The IS is sick now...it gives me a big smile!!!

Damaged the TTE fiberglass bumper today on a pavement. I just touched the pavement and a small piece broke off the lip. This is what happens if you use fiberglass unfortunately. Now I have to arrange to fit the OEM bumper, paint the TRD lip and fit also the sport grille.
