Hello from Leicestershire, UK - JChilton92 - 27-10-2022
Hi everyone,
My name is Jake. I'm 22 and I have just bought myself a 2003 IS200 Sport with 77,000 miles on the clock. One lady owner (Police woman) with full service history. There are a few dents, scrapes and scratches but fortunately all of that is just cosmetic. Everything that makes it a car is in good working order.
Anyway, glad to join the forum! There's always some really interesting reads on here and I like to dream too!
Hope to ask some questions soon.
Cheers,
Jake

Maybe looking at: TRD quickshift or any other brand that can be recommended. Exhaust upgrade, depending on how much it affects MPG. Some lighter alloys, which size is better for handling? 17" or 18". If I can afford it, some decent adjustable coilovers. What's a lightened flywheel like on these? Maybe a supercharger in the very distant future but can't really justify the money. Which supercharger is the best?

Best upgrade for handling is a set of arbs mate. But 18's are fine on these.
Consider looking at the tirbo kit for these it's becoming more affordable. But the Lexus will always be pricey compared to others like Scooby etc
