Well I got a reply from Ike which was send back if you can't grind a bit off which is terrible considering the cost and I'm not a happy chap!! Which is only going to cost more more money. Anyone else had a problem with the inlet manifold or just me lol

Think there's only you and Dave have one, does lexiis have one?


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 07-01-2021

Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Sparkystav - 07-01-2021

Yeah it's not good, obviously not great quality assurance. Hope you get it sorted mate.

Well had a good look at the inlet manifold and at 9 points it is going to need to be grinded as it fails the injection rail bolts and the injector holes

Think its safe to say that this is a con for the price and quality is absolute shocking! So i will start sorting this out this week see if i can get someone with a mill to cut some half circles.

Bought some axle stands to get the car on for when the lump comes out to give me some space to work underneath looks like ill be starting this Sunday as got work on Saturday.

Also drilled the sump for the oil return ive put this on the engine but only loose just so its out of my flat and on the engine ill fit this properly hopefully tomorrow

well i have just emailed him again i shouldnt be doing all this work see what he says ive just said has anyone had this problem or is it a one off mistake if it is just send me another one, though he has been very quiet and not very helpful at the minute


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Sparkystav - 09-01-2021

Such a shame about the manifold mate hope you get it sorted.
