I am interested in getting chassis braces and this sounds like a good bit of kit.
Get it on your car and give us some feedback.

I will mate soon. I am also planning to buy the Tanabe rear 4 point under brace.

nice pics mate ike alamkhan has said let us know how it is when you fit them

With the coilovers, ARB's, strut braces, Ultra Racing bars and chassis braces are you concerned about over stiffening the car?
I am thinking if there is no flex on the car it will become very tail happy.

No mate, the car is fine for the time being. The car is not nervous and it does not jump (believe me, Greece is not famous for its roads) and it handles very well at corners and at sudden lane changes. I can also say that braking has also improved a bit. All of the parts are made of Aluminium so they have a small percentage of bending.

My crazyness continues. I have been looking for a long time for a short shift. From my research I found that for the IS200 there only a very few options. First option and most common and used by many members is the TRD. It is very good but i found a bit expensive including the shipping charges to buy it new. As a used one I could not find one. Second option was the B&M which is a bit cheaper, but some ownres/members were/are unhappy with difficulty to put in reverse gear. Also i have read that there is a small noise and vibration in 5th and 6th gear. Third option that i found was the short sift from Austria shop/garage, which is cheap but very noisy as stated from many owners. So mods are need to be done in combination with OEM shift lever. Last option and which I decided to go for after a lot research and a bit braveness was the C's Comrade Short Shift. It is made in Japan from a well know Japanese tunner and it is being used in many Jap cars. The design and quality is almost or the same with the TRD and it is a bit cheaper than the TRD. From reviews that i read regarding the short shift on Altezza cars all of the Jap owners were satisfied and stated that it was rated the same with the TRD short shft. So today I decided to purchase one from USA. Here are some photos that I found on the web. It is the Cs short shift installed on an Altezza car.

From the pics you can see that the part looks very similar with the TRD quick shift. I will post more photos when i collect the item. Also i will write a review when i will fit on the car and start using it.

Same as above!

Yes I will let you know how it feels with this short shift. I am thinking to record a video before and after installation to show the difference in shifts.
My new toys - Asi - 14-01-2018
good idea mate. if you can do that then that would be great to see the difference
