Well about time i updated over xmas i adjusted my timing belt that is all now ok and set correct Smile

Took the car for an MOT and failed on emmissions so ill be taking it to a freidly MOT tester lol Think its down to my CAT not being man enough!

Though this has give me a shove to sort out my crank case pressure so started by buying my new head just in case its a cracked head. Gonna order my new gaskets oh and pcv valve and grommet as i have started to do my head cover and fuel rail ready for the shows in the coming year! got to try and put in a gd show against Sparky! lol

The new RX8 injectors are also now fitted so with me doing the fuel rail i can start doing the fuel pressure regulator i been putting it off for some reason i got all the parts lol

Also i am booking the car in to get the exhaust done so it is 3" all the way through as well that will be restricting me a little bit

Heres a few pics not brill but gives an idea

Good for you mate, it is about time you got rewarded from all the effort and work you have put on this car.


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - john wan - 19-11-2021

Good stuff mate im guessing it runs a bit better then did you sort the shmoking?


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 19-11-2021

yeah the smoking was the valve stem seals sorted them its just the crank case pressure now bit of a big job but needs doing car runs ok but bugs the hell out of me lol thinks i may as well port and polish the new head as well


Jimbobs Lexus IS200 Turbo! - Jimbob-T-Lex - 19-11-2021
