My little project - IS200 Turbo - steviewevie - 08-03-2018

ok, here we go, pics galore !

The car doesn't really look a lot different from the outside, just a bit lower now, especially at the rear. It was sitting even lower than this at the Ace Cafe, because it had some heavy stuff in the boot. The rear is a bit lower than the front now. Not sure if it's too low, but I haven't had any problems with it so far, and rarely carry people in the back anyway.

Coilover adjuster extenders in the boot, so I don't have to remove the boot carpet to adjust the damping ! :

Current gauge pod, very much a work-in-progress, and I'm going to change it now anyway, at least to point the dials towards me :

The reason I asked you whether you were running constant wideband at the cafe was because I've heard stories about the LC1 sensor not lasting as long as a narrowband (i.e. stock) sensor... you might need to be replacing it every 3 years.

Not something to worry about now though. The thing I like about this build is that nearly everything looks like it was designed to be there, it all looks in place and in proportion. The car's got a great stance too Smile

Engine bay :

You can see here the oil feed line from the turbo, which comes from low down on one side of the engine, rather than from the VVT-i feed. You can also see the coolant feed lines to the turbo :

You can just about see the big thick flang(e) joining the turbo to the manifold here. It ended up getting re-made because the first one wasn't beefy enough :

You can just about see the turbo manifold (from IK Engineering) :

It all looks good (and drives well also), BUT Bandit needs to show you how to polish things like the fuel rail, alternator etc.

Yeah now the covers are off there are some more bits to clean up for sure ! I actually brought the tyre foam along to the Ace Cafe in case I got a chance, but was too busy :biggrin:

I am undecided as to whether to try and get a custom cover made, to cover up the ugly bits, or just clean it all up as best I can and leave it on show.
