Well time for an update seeing as it's been so long.
It's is 99% complete! Just a steering and suspension alignment to do. Then i need to fix my trailer and tow car.
Oh and also a respray, going a different colour.
For more updates and a video of it running you can go to Farcebook http://www.facebook.com/rhyspewpew

Was the engine conversion much of a drama??
Not much for me as it is solid mounted. Engine fitting is usually not a drama, wiring is a different matter.

Well the good news is it's running, bad news is the valve stems are leaking :( still waiting on the prop shaft shaft

Okey dokey, update time!
Car went off to get the roll cage done. Having solid engine mounts made while it's there. Sparco Sprint V seat, hydraulic clutch throw out, 3 core rad, 600x300x100mm intercooler, Takata 5 point harness, new fuel feed and brake hoses, managed to source a good bonnet, 30mm spacers all round with 17" Lexus rims.
To be done once back from cage work: fit windscreen, wiring (eeek), plumbing, more painting (paint fixing) lock spacers.
Anyways, here are some more photos.

Well been a while since my last post. So here are some updates.
Installed Driftworks coilovers, did some painting and a small amount of wiring for the lights.
1JZ-GTE non VVTi acquired. Gearbox, front sump and various other bits sourced. Nearly enough cash saved for roll cage. Making dash switch panel. Modifying steering column for quick release. Lots more welding to do.
It's been very difficult with the rain as I have no shelter and only a small shed to work in. Persistance and patience are key I guess.
Really hope to have it running in the next few months before I go up north.
Here are some pictures for those hungry eyes.

Nice work, looking good. Are you not doing anything else before getting the cage in then?
Yes I have some small things to do. The major work is of course the most expensive.
I really want to get the cage done as the car wont be moved much after.

Well hello again every people!
Been a while, so here's an update. Looking a little different from when I got it.
Got some Driftworks coilovers in, a lick of paint. Waiting for monies to come in to get the cage done, then on to everything else.
Decided to go 1JZ-GTE due to lack of funds :'(
So still lots of things to do!

looking good mate, thanks for sharing.
Any chance you could keep this thread updated with your project photos.. would be good to follow :)
Yes sir, will do.

Hello all!
I am building a IS200 drift machine. Bought it as a fire damaged write off (someone may know the previous owner).
Planning on running 2JZ-GTE, 6 point cage, C-west style kit, coilies, etc
I've attached some photos of where I'm up to. Basically ready to get the cage put in.
So far I've replaced the front suspension, brake and clutch master, have front and rear windscreen, replaced passenger door and front left fender.
Gutted the interior, stripping out the sound deadening and general cleaning.
Used to own a R31 skyline with PEWPEW number plates, so this one is called PEWPEW 2.0
Really feels good to have a project car again. Undecided if I will keep it black or paint it white.

Coolness! PM sent.

I know most people and most people know me :P I used to drift an R31 with PEWPEW as the number plates.

Hello again! My names Rhys. Just bought an IS200 as a drift car, got it from auction as a burnt wreck.
So far I've stripped the interior (burnt) and am now setting out to replace the front suspension (burnt) I'll also be putting a 2J to replace the burnt out stocko.
It will also have a full 6 point roll cage, coilovers and Cwest body kit. a little bit of work but I love the shape of the 200, so sexy.
I may need to pick brains in regards to finding parts and stuff. Need to get a new front passenger door, front and rear windscreen, bushings and such.
Anyways must get back to work. Cheers!
