Tony Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Best practical mod i have heard is Tango's sports exhaust on his IS250...... Although he cannot hear it like us on the outside, it's sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Best practical mod i have heard is Tango's sports exhaust on his IS250...... Although he cannot hear it like us on the outside, it's sweet Now you tell me but you're right It's still quiet inside..I'm going to have to let someone else drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he cannot hear it like us on the outside, it's sweet Now you tell me but you're right It's still quiet inside..I'm going to have to let someone else drive it The fit proved it was a quality exhaust, unlike most where we need to bend this or that or bits are missing.. The sound is superb, hard to describe but a deep continuous tone even through the gear change... Unlike some that fart as the gears select I like it.... I really do!...... Even the boy's at Kip's mentioned how sweet it sounded yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Bump .................. In my opinion the best modification is a calibration between the suspension and the Geometry to compliment handling.. The worst is spacers that changed the position of the tyres contact patch. The best electronic mod is an ECU calibration and the best mechanical mod is the turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
