Supercharged Lexus IS200 SE - ZAIS200 - 07-09-2023

Sparkystav Looking good pat!

I agree, the Mods Pat has done are subtle yet have presence, and only compliment the clean condition of the Lex.

Its not exactly OEM+ but without knowing whats under the bonnet and if you didn't see the FMIC in front it would be considered OEM+. Exactly my taste OEM+ FTW!

Well done Pat looking forward to seeing this work of art at JAE in person.

Cheers guys still have plenty of ideas going round in my head.

Thinking lately about uping power so looked at a walbro Fuel pump yellow rx8 injectors and then of course the bigger pulley thinking of just going 145mm and see how it is with that for a bit.

But still want side skirts and still need to sort canards with Robin and get the front looking a bit more aggressive or that's the plan anyway

Well I purchased a set of front wind deflectors and fitted them but other than that just as normal keeping it clean and building funds back up to buy more parts for next year's shows

Well plans are afoot to up power.

First on the shopping list is x6 vvti 1.8 injectors from an avensis, follow that up with a SS decat manifold and then a set of ik22 denso injectors and of course the 145mm pulley

Hopefully get on and running on this plan in the next few months

I'd actually disagree with the turbo idea, Pat - I reckon with the tools available to you, it's a better idea to swap your supercharger for a much more modern TVS unit. They run much cooler, drain less power and will give you a bit more flow for the same PSI of boost. It probably won't be that hard to get an adapter plate made up to fit the current supercharger frame. I think the efficiency range is greater too, so you won't be losing out and generating lots of heat by massively over-gearing it.

That's in AUD, so about £1300 quid

Plenty of time to build it with much more power

Well haven't really done much to the car other then sort a deal out for a set of BC Coilovers.

But during the winter time I've been doing a few different things, no 1 being the boys xmas gift a 2 seat rwd 5hp Honda engine called a Thunder kart.

And of course the decals have to be fitted as well

And there's a plan for the colour on the steel rims as plain silver is dull so may go for hydrodipping

What do u think
