My Lexus IS200 Sport - dj0nes - 23-07-2020
Hi Guys,
I have brought myself another Lexus
I had one previously which can be seen here http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=8334 and was a member of the site for a while and regretted it ever since I sold it!
So I managed to pick me up a nice Sport version, the shell has done 80k with FSH and the best part about it is the previous owner carried on driving it with a leaky rad and warped the head so it's had a new engine in which has done 18k, again with FSH
I am very pleased with it the bodywork is literally mint I cannot find a mark or stone chip on it even so I am guessing it's been resprayed at some point but there is no tell tale signs so it is a professional job.
First step? Sort out the misty headlights.

Cheeky short shifter install, left over from my old IS.
