aztecbandit1 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Think its time i updated this again Well the Celica came and went and now i own my old Lexus IS200 again, started to add a few mods since i got it back, 1 being the supercharger again, actually fitted it at the WIM meet we had a while back, Pretty much how it was when i picked it up, Supercharger fitted again.. Rocker cover and HKS bov i polished... Before and after pic.... New suspension that's now fitted.... HKS Boost Gauge fitted... Started to add a few shiny bits... Bonnet still needs respraying..but added the TRD front lip... Engine covers added again, Apexi intake added with heat shield... New wheels fitted this weekend... Needs a really good clean again now, will have to get it booked in for a geo again too as its not planted like it used to be? But its good to be back in a lex .

Rich Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Looking good Chris, I love what you do with the engine bling I remember you fitting the S/C, still can't believe you got it done in at a meet Might be easier to start a new thread for the IS200 though, I'll split this for you Need to update your sig now as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aztecbandit1 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks mate, was going to start again, but with the amount of cars i seem to get through? i thought it was funny to add it to the list Just bought a Nissan Note 1.6 sve too Got so much to do to it again, hopefully get a set of coilovers soon so i can sort out the height and handling again, I don't rate the Koni Shocks and springs that are fitted at the moment, they were great on my old Fords, but just don't seem to suit the lex? Want to change the exhaust too, the Blueflame it has fitted at the moment is a bit too quiet for me, so trying to find another Veilside Titanium one like i had before? Better go and update my profile again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Just have a long list of threads for each car instead! Did you sell the motor will all the mods you did or remove them? I don't know if I could be arsed to mod a car I've owned previously and then do it again Are you doing anything differently this time?

aztecbandit1 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Removed nearly all the mods when i sold it mate, so i'm trying to find a few parts again? Going to change it quite a bit this time, The engine bay is going to change over the next few months as i want it nice and tidy this time, and might go for a different skirt kit/bumpers? upgrade the brakes,suspension, fuel pump, and i might have the wheel centres done in gold/bronze as i think they will go better with the colour of the car?

aztecbandit1 Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Looks much better on the 18s Chris Cheers matey, just waiting on a new set of spigot rings to take up the gap on the hubs, and then i'll have to get it booked in for the geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least you know how to fit all the mods now, should take half the time this time around! Wheel centres should look good in that colour or what about the edge of the rim? What benefit is there from an uprated fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What benefit is there from an uprated fuel pump? Quite like having the chrome rims on the wheels, just not sure on the centre's as there dark grey/anthracite colour? think the gold /bronze will suit the car better with it being that sort of colour anyway? My fuel pump is pretty old and tired now and the price of a standard pump is about the same as a Walbro 255lph pump so may as well upgrade it while i'm doing it? plus i'm thinking of going for bigger injectors, AEM fic ecu to control the fuelling with a bigger supercharger pully, plus a few other bits to see if i can up the power a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
