ormi to the above ye thats a good idea????? you can buy a is200 with all the toys inc leather and charge it for cheaper than 4k and thats a decent one and you get the noise no one will forget also the 6 pot is very smooth...

I agree that an Altezza is a valid option. But I would prefer a charged IS200, that why I have one. Oh, and I bought and charged the car for under a grand. :lol:

What?! You bought and charged a IS200 for under a grand?! HOW?!

I wouldn't go for an auto at all- its manual all the way for me.

This is the kind of look I want to go for:

I cheated! I bought a cheap car with bodywork damage, no tyre tread and a weeks MOT. I already had the charger kit, I've had it for years. Big Grin

Though that was 3 months ago, and have already spent well over a grand on other bits for it! With plans to spend another (when I have it!)

Well respect to you for being brave enough to buy one in that condition and turn it around! The engine was in good nick I assume?

You could make a tidy profit selling it!

Well tyres and MOT were not problem. The bodywork damage is not major, but does need a spray of the roof, rear wing and bonnet when I can afford it, though leaving it for the moment as not too bothered about the cosmetic side right now.

I have already been offered a Supra in exchange for it, that was advertised at £3500, but I have been sitting on this charger kit for 3 years, with the intention of using it one day, now I am gonna get me some use out of it!

Or you could just sell the Charget kit Wink

NA Supra +BPU is pretty much the same as a charged Lexus.

One thing to look out for is a guy selling a supercharger for 1k, it's a scam and has already cost someone on driftworks (as far as I understand) a lot of money. I'll see if I can find out the guys name.

Yeah I've been reading around here and know about this scammer. I'll be running through you guys anyway if I do get a SC (or Lexus for that matter).

Cheers for the headsup Smile
