Yeah, looks pretty mean. This is the thing, I've seen other 1J'd and V8 IS200's for around the same price. All around the 5k mark. Looking at the price of 1J engines or buying a run down LS400 and suitable gearboxes to fit, after you take into account the cost of the IS200 itself, it's probably cheaper to buy one already converted, drift tax has just gone crazy the past year or so. Plus you don't have the stressful nights and the scraped knuckles...

Finally got round to fitting my boot lip. Only took me nearly a year!

I was unsure if to stick it on or not. But I'm glad I did. Need to rip my rear bumper lip off and stick that back on properly and I might be on the look out for some skirts at some point.

Found a proper Lagana/Neo front bumber with fogs for £400 in Japan. Very tempted to inquire about it. I just dont wanna spend £300 on a replica and it be ****.

And honestly, once it gets a bit warmer, I promise I'll get the ****** supercharger on!

Nah, I'm half tempted by the covers, but I'd like to see some first before I make my mind up. I had thought of tinting em, but I'm not sure how it would look with white wheels. I did tint the old rear fogs, but when I installed em, it didn't look right.

Guy wants US$423 to mail that Legana/Neo (whatever you call it) bumper to the UK. I can get a return flight to USA for less!


Anyone bought stuff from Typerkits.com?

It's FINALLY Supercharged!

Was actually a much less sweary install than I thought it was gonna be. Needs a few adjustments here and there, but she ran fine.

Stripped a belt on the way home though.

I'm thinking either charger is not aligned correctly with Merc pulley or the belt was on the wrong teeth. Anyone got any ideas?

Would suggest it's not aligned. Or moving under load mate.

Congrats though!
