  2. hey mate. may not be exactly what your looking for if you still looking that is. but im selling my 2001 auto is200 sport (i think its a sport. leather and lsd but no sunroof) for $2000 as is. i crashed it the other day. needs a new rear diff cradle and a few other bits right rear like lower control arm and such. new wheels. new front bar and a few dents on the passenger side. can organise some pics. i dont have time to fix it nor the money. looking to sell whole unless i can get close to 2k in offers for parts.
  3. Can you skid it? Might just be a blown light. If not check if the switch is connected on the back of it. Pretty sure if a fuse was blown it wouldn't work.
  4. next to the heated seat buttons below the head unit there is a TRC button. push that. bottom left of the dash cluster a little TRC off light should come on.
  5. tyre and rims are right. yeah still get the feeling the auto slips sometimes.... i might get it serviced just as good measure. as for diff ratios... seems like its to much effort. i think there is another issue causing my high consumption that i need to address before i try and improve it. also... what numbers and such am i looking for on the diff to find out what one i have? as im certain its an lsd. it slides just as well to the left as it does the right. no way its a open diff.
  6. hahaha i am also looking at putting a shark fin on there. if you do ditch it. you can get internal cabin antennas or boot ones. but if you are like me and dont use the radio at all. then dont worry about it. you can pick up dummy shark fin antennas for like $5 on ebay. rip the base of and slap one of them on. just make sure you seal the holes so it never leaks in to the roof.
  7. is200 has enough power to slide.. even in auto. just in auto it doesnt have enough to do bigger slides in the dry. can still link in the wet. manual would be way better. is200 is so nice to slide as far as underpowered auto cars go haha. and you would be better to find an lsd from an is200.
  8. hey all. may have been brought up before. cant find the info anywhere including google. just wanna know what diff ratios the is200/300 use across the different models and how i find out what mine has. i have a 4spd auto is200 possibly sports model. have looked under the car didnt know what i was looking for. but it has a sticker something something like 06/2005 or something on it. looked like a date. car is 2001 model. so for a start thats odd. what im looking for is lowering the revs if possible. car is almost all highway. so if i could drop the revs a bit might save me some fuel. any suggestions on what i might have or how i can find out. then also what fits in? if there is something i can add in that will say take it from a 4.1 to a 3.1 or something major like that from another car i might also be keen. i know it will be an absolute slug off the line. buts sitting around 3000rpm at 100km/h seems a bit high. silly 4spd. also... is it possible for an auto to slip? seems like a CVT auto sometimes when i take off from the lights. speed goes up with out revs climbing that much when im at like mid throttle.
  9. Ok. Cleaned the front o2 sensor only. Just used contact cleaner. Was very durty white. Car seemed to run better. First tank after averaged 8.7l per 100km. Current tank looking to get the same. Maybe better. Still getting sideways every chance I get. Not trying to conserve fuel. Runs a lot better. Next thing will be cleaning all sensors off.
  10. I have 6000k in mine. Its fine. Where are you getting the hids from? My mate sells them. About to clear out his stock to.
  11. sorry to bring up an old thread. but i do a lot of highway driving. 70km trip to work. has maybe 5km of non highway. after cleaning the front o2 sensor i have got the economy from around 10l per 100km to 8.6l per 100km. just that one highway trip. after a bit more driving around town. more trips to work and back. looking like i will average out to between 10 and 11l per 100km. not i know. on paper we should be getting 10l per 100km as an average but i have read about a lot of people getting 6.6l per 100km for highway driving... (which some complained about) so im curious. is there something wrong with my car? or is just dirty o2 sensors. and on that note. can i replace them with something other then a genuine one? car is a 2001 lexus is200 auto with 25xxxxkm on the clock. recently serviced. with good tyre pressure. and down the highway its normally set to cruise at 110kmh. have done all filters, plugs, engine flush. fuel system clean (5 times in 15xxxkm) and other then this car runs perfect.
  12. Dimmer is on the left of the steering column. No fog light switch next to it
  13. where in qld is this? is it registered? and wow... thats so awesome. not a holden fan really. but that ls1 has such a beautiful sound. and such a spin out to see an is200 sounding like that.
  14. oh to clarify. i dont expect this car to be super fast. im just after a slight gain. this car for me is a daily highway car and just want the pickup for when im in traffic. mostly trying for gains now before a fair bit of sound gear goes in and takes that pulling power away even more so.
  15. yeah. the more i drive the more comfortable i am with the power it has. i am doing mostly highway and once its going its fine. im just wondering if anyone has any experience with anything in the way of say removing the second cat and middle muffler and putting a straight through muffler in place with 2.5inch pipe. would that give a little bit of response off the line? new air filter plugs. upper engine cleaner and some fuel system cleaner has helped. also the mods to get rid of all the throttle slack. thats helped heaps. it just needs a little bit more. like 10hp would be a massive difference. i keep searching but only seem to find people going for massive gains and swapping motor instead. i cant find any supercharger kits or turbo kits for it. but probably wouldnt bother going to that extreme. can also not find anything to support a gain at all from a cold air intake or a headers back exhaust or from extractors. getting to the point where im thinking no one has given this motor enough chance.
  16. Hey all. i have read into this a fair bit and getting confused with conflicting results and ideas. so. picking up a 2001 auto is200. what im looking at is just getting a little bit extra from for say merging onto the highway and such. wont be doing an engine swap yet and wont turbo it unless its super easy and a bolt on kit really cheap. id consider a blower setup if its cheap. but mostly wondering if doing a decat set of extractors and freeing up the rest of the exhaust. maybe a drop in panel filter. will this get me anywhere? will it just let the motor breath easier resulting in freer revving and maybe a slight increase in economy? some posts i have read say it will do the opposite of that. making economy worse and lowering power? which goes against how nearly every other car would react to those mods. i will mostly be cruising down the highway between brisbane and gold coast with it. no plans to race it or anything like that. in a year or 2 when money is freed up if im still up for it i will go down the path of 2jz gte with a manual. or is it possible to get a unichip and get the thing tuned to push out some more power. dont the celicas use this same motor and make more power? if there are posts that i have missed or sites i should be looking at please point me that way. and sorry if this is yet another post like this. but the information so far is conflicting and mostly from a few years ago.
