Not really - other than different coloured tail and headlamps and a few trim bits and bobs. Look out for ones with TRD body kits or Leguna kits fitted - they're worth a but more.....

Specs for the Altezza V IS200 Power (bhp) = 210 V 153 0-60 (secs) = 7.2 V 9.5

The RS200 is the best model to go for (it has the Beams tunes 4 cylinder block). There is a limited edition Qualitat version - but it just has fancy bits rather than a tweeked engine.

DEfinately not in Germany when it snows......... :o :(

Why do you want to change from auto to manual? You won't actually get any gains.... You;re better off leaving the boix, and sticking a supercharger or tubo on it....

I've found the snow button useless - when it snows, my IS ain't goin nowhere......

Just remember that US bodykits may need alterations to fit (they have different dimensions for their bumpers).

Hi and welcome: where about are you in AUS? Lexus of BNE has fitted a TTE s/c in 2002 , they imported the kit from Germany thru internet.. the sales told me it would be ~ $10K AUD for the mod if done thru them, At that stage, they told me that warranty will be void b/c it's an aftermarket kit. But they were going to confirm with LEXUS AUS about warranty issue.... then I didnt follow up. SSML Unless the TTE Supercharger kit is fitted by Lexus, your warrenty would be void (on the engine)....

Although I agree in principle with what you're saying, the 1G-FE CAN be modded if that's the route you want to take. Yes it was used back in the day in the old Toyota Crowns, but with a little tinkering (conrods, pistons and a bottom end), you can turbo/increase the compression on the 1G-FE without any probs. Simon here in the UK has the only (known) 1G-FE TURBO (all HKS goodies including a FCON-PRO), and it's running like a dream (and quick....).

Take a look HERE...... Zee. :D

Headlamp leveller, Rear foglight switch and Front Headlamp Washer Jet buttons......

That is correct - the left headamp is set by the manufacturer to be slightly higher than the right to not dazle oncoming traffic...

Ok - first things first. The IS200 uses the same brake set-up as the GS range - and therefore is an excellent standard setup for most drivers. Unless you are planning on doing 1/4 miles or trackdays, leave them standard. Grooved and vented are good (NOT EBC - I warped my set in 2 months) but DBA or Black Diamond. Pads - EBC are good for less brake dust, but Mintex race pads come highly reccomended. I am having braided brake lines and 5.1 fluid put in soon, so will let you know if that helps improve the braking performance on a track... Zee.

i could do with his contact info!! ;) So could I........ :)

I assume you know about Takakaira - it's where I do all my shopping...... :)
