Interesting, point about the water pumps though, because my water temp stays well below 50 Celsius unless in traffic then it climes noticeably to 70/80 C. where as the normal IS200 (well mine anyway) stayed bang on in the middle of the gauge whatever the driving conditions.

Hi mate yea my one sits around 70/80 just ticking over, but i have not been out in it to see what it would be when the car is moveing, ill let you know what it is later
I have just done the Foglight/brake mod :tongue_smilie: why i have only just got round to doing it now i will never no lol, and i have fitted a fuel cut switch as well ( looks more like a NOS switch lol

Marcus_1UZ :lol: i will let you know how it goes, im going to take it out for a run today as the sun is out:w00t::tongue_smilie:
well took the car out today was not out long and i had to get the car back, as it was misfiring bad at around 3000 /3500
looks like the timeing belt must have moved when i put it back on from when i did the water pump, and the only time i can now put it right is friday night ( its going to be a long night F***ing car) if i dont get it done friday night there is no way i will make it to the ACE cafe or the tunnel run, its not hard to do, just **** as there is alot in the way that has to come of, to get to the timeing belt:wink:

so f****ing **** off, on my way to the tunnel run, i stop to get fuel, then i set of, down the A2 and the car just did not feel right so i pull over take alook rev the car up and there is smoke comeing from the turbo inlet Ffffff ing hell, i fix one then something else fffffing goes, but i take the pipe of by the BOV so the car runs with out the turbo and rev it up all is ok and sounds very good, so 1 of 2 things it could be, under boost oil is geting sucked in by the inlet seal or the turbo outlet backing up with oil and not makeing its way to the sump like it should.
i am so pi.s.sed of
