Hi,

Figured I'd start this to track what I've done (and plan to do) to my car.

When I bought it:

Very first mod - changed steering wheel emblem (Thanks for the idea Patrik!)
Before:

After:

Second mod - Stainless Steel Dials & clock surround (Cheers Jason)
Before:

After:

Most recently, fitted the HIDs (6000K, Thanks EDeath)
Before:

After:

Fair bit brighter! There are a load of things I'd like to do with the car though, and I've tried to separate them into "must haves" and "wish list" - one is things I'm definite about doing, the other things I might fancy doing should funds and opportunity present themselves :lol:

Must Have
----------
Uprated ARBs
Lowering Springs
TTE Bumper
TTE Rear Lip
TRD Side Skirts
18 inch Aero Sport wheels
Uprated Discs & Pads
S/S Dials (Group Buy coming up Big Grin

)
HKS Silent Exhaust or Blueflame
K&N Filter
Strut Brace stuff
**Full Paint Correction etc ** -- This one I do need, anyone know where I can get this done in Scottishland? Guildford & Christian are a bit far for me :lol:
LED up the interior lights

Wish List
---------
Supercharger or Turbo
Double DIN HU with all the fruit :biggrin:

Convince Me I Need Them?
--------------------------
Coilovers
Quick Shift
Braided Steel brake lines

That should do it for now I think... I'm open to suggestions for additions to the list - obviously these will be done over quite some time :lol:

Anything I missed? (Thanks for the suggestions so far guys; keep 'em coming)

braided steel brake lines, did you want a short list or long list :laugh:

Dave's IS200 Sport - is300_dino - 27-03-2018

a sports grille and reposition horns

Dave's IS200 Sport - ormi - 27-03-2018

quick shift....

Dave's IS200 Sport - ormi - 27-03-2018

strut bracing and under car braces....

Dave's IS200 Sport - DaveEdin - 27-03-2018

Exhaust! Knew there was something Wink

Also missed out upgrading the air filter, none of you caught that one though :p

I'm not sure that coilovers would be worth it for me, I'm not looking to go so low the thing scrapes :lol: the kids might complain Wink

I'm open to being convinced though... what exactly is the difference?

Sports grille & repositioning the horns was something I thought about, but I'd prefer a TTE bumper instead - In the snow we had a couple months back I dinged the bumper with a Transit's tow bar, so I chose to take that as a sign that I should replace the bumper rather than get the sports grille Smile

What difference do steel braided brake lines and the braces stuff make?

I'm guessing the braces stiffen the chassis in the same way as the ARBs?
