IS200 Se mk2!!!!
IS200 Se mk2!!!!
Some of you might have seen on FB that I have bought some coilovers recently (from Stix) and get them fitted recently too.
They are Tein Control Master Flex, which have all the motors and wiring loom for the EDFC, something I have always wanted. Just got to order a control box from Tein when funds allow.
So I was just looking at some pics of my car to show before and after fitting. And I am pretty shocked! I posted a pic on FB of my car after fitting and lowering the car. I got questioned if I was planning on lowering it further. The pic shows just how much the car has dropped already. But plan on lowering the car again soon, as its not quite right yet. But its a steep learning curve setting them up. Anyway this is a pic of the car pre-Teins.

Just before I got the coilovers I also invested in some decent tyres and its the first none budget tyres I have ever bought, a change in jobs mean I am doing 3miles to and from work rather then 40! I got some Maxxis MA-Z1's and they are really good, they are super controlled and great in the wet too.
While up getting the coilovers from Stix and crew, I also picked up some clear rear fogs. Also got the twin filament holders too, so that's a job on my long list to sort when I get chance.
Pic of the lights....

And then a final pic of my motor outside work on Friday even when I was locking up. Its finally starting to look something like I want it too. Its got some big problems though at the minute, that might prove terminal. The passenger sill is rotten as is the bonnet, and the engine is leaking oil quite bad. So the overall plan is to continue buying bits for this that are transferable onto the Altezza RS200 and next year hopefully pick one up in good condition. And transpose all the parts.

I have thought about repairing this one, but at the end of the day I want a faster car. And I'm not paying 2k for a supercharger when I can buy a whole car for that with more horsepower.
Thanks! :-) can't go to low as I have three kids and the roads around my house and most of Leeds are awful!
