My little project - IS200 Turbo
Lexusboy Good news will you get your car back in plenty of time to wash and polish it ready for the Ace Cafe?
Enjoy your drive home:thumbup1:
Won't need cleaning, will have so much power that the dirt will just peel off :w00t:

It's just as well I've got a good drive down to bring it home. I'll probably be driving like Miss Daisy at first until I get used to it :laugh:

The extra 100bhp is a great upgrade and you'll probably find that the gearbox is so much smoother and adds to the driving experience, when i fitted the SC to mine the box was great having that extra power going through it, so much smoother and the gear changes lost the clunky feel to them :thumbup:

If your car turns up clean at the Ace meet mate, you'll get told off as we'll know you've not been out all night driving it :laugh:

I thought it was just me with that effect, strange how a few extra BHP improves a car like the IS200

Its one of the things a really noticed and made the car so much nicer to drive :thumbup: Never had the silly judder on take off either after the SC was fitted, which was great :thumbup1:

Then I have a new clutch and lightweight flywheel. Charlesworth have noticed it needing more revs to get away, though they think I will get used to it. I have a backup plan of changing to another OEM flywheel if I don't like it. I didn't buy the flywheel for the light weight, I got it because the existing one was very juddery - interesting that more bhp fixed your one though Chris !
When I get the car back I can at last finish off the gauge pod. Right now it looks a right mess, since I was in the middle of hacking it about when I originally dropped everything off at Charlesworth !

04-03-2018, 09:39 AM #827I've got quite a few new things to get used to. As well as all that extra power, there are new brake discs/pads/brake lines. Then there are coilovers, but those have adjustable damping so I can fiddle with the settings. Will be driving back with a boot load of old bits for the car, so that will alter the handling somewhat anyway.

Going to be like driving a new car mate, handling and power = great fun :thumbup:
Looking forward to seeing it :thumbup:

Think it was because when i pulled away it had the extra bit of power on take off, so i didn't have to add more revs like i used to before the SC was fitted? was so much better though :thumbup1:

I find since fitting my lightened flywheel it does need a bit more oomph to get going, but only because it's much easier to stall due to the lack of inertia.
Yeah it will want a wheel alignment if the suspension's been changed, it will have pulled all the bushes about etc...
