Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 25-10-2024

Well got an hour or so in the barn after work so removed battery and started to relocate fuse/relay box in the gap made.

A lot more difficult than I thought it's was going to be lol but tomorrow I'll be at work looking for some m6 rod or long bolts so I can fix it in.

Forgot to get pics so will get some next time I'm in there. More than likely Thursday.

Just ordered my an fittings ready to do my fuel return line, also when i get back from work i will see if the bits i acquired from work will work fixing my fuse/relay box in its new position.

Still on the hunt for a starter ring gear from an auto 1jz if anyone could help and the non drive by wire throttle cable bracket.

Ill try and remember to get some pictures tonight.

From researching by all accounts the r154 gearbox slips a lot and is like driving a truck. Obviously people's opinions but I don't want to pay £1500 for one and not know what life it has had. The BMW box can handle more torque an is a lot cheaper

PMC Motorsport do an adapter plate and flywheel which locates the spigot bearing further out so I'll have no problems with that. Also I can use a m5 BMW clutch which is pretty strong so fingers crossed all goes well. On a plus the gearbox is only £400-500
