woot...

hey man it's me danny from JDMST

used to own the yellow evo...

i can let u have a quick peek at mine if u want

pm me ill pass u my contact number etc

Heyyy Danny,

Thanks for that offer man, ill be going on Sunday to the dealerships see if i can check them out there, and hopefully get a drive of one.

How do you find the handling? I mean i know its not going to match an EVO or anything hehe. Also are you hanging for more power? hehe

Thanks Nick, yeah maybe get the pretige and throw a set of Work or Rays on it.

Thanks Sapphire, i suppose 8 sec isnt too slow, i mean its faster then her echo at least hehe. The worst is when there is someone hogging the right lane on the freeway and there is a gap to overtake on the left, but you need to do it fast as there is a car further up. Good to hear you have test drove those other cars. I havent and dont intend to, as ilv1004 will know im biased towards toyota/lexus and i have brainwashed the wife too aswell hehe.

Thanks for teh heads up re: drive away deals.

Now, my main concern is where i park it at home. I live in apartment blocks, and although the parking is underground, there is a bloody cat that sits on all the cars. Its driving me insane as it leaves foot prints and hair all over the cars, probably scratches too..

Any suggestions on getting it to stop, without hurting it? (Friend suggested feeding in radiator fluid lol). This is one thing thats putting us off upgrading the echo.

Hi Guys,

I dont if anyone will remember me, as i dont remember anyones nick, but i had an IS200 in 2003, and put a 1jzgte into it. Started out here then we made the lexusownersclub.org website.

Anways i moved on from the IS, to a couple of supras, mr2's etc, im back ina s upra and love it. Now im after an IS250 for he wife to replace her Echo sportivo.

I like the sport, but she wants leather, she hates woodgrain so sports luxury is out, so that leaves prestige....the wheels are a turn off, but a prestige with teh sport rims and enhancement pack would be the ultimate, any idea if this is available? BTW ill be buying used not new, cant afford haha.

I have never even driven one, are they really as slow as everyone says? Also read reviews that rear vision ispoor, and the reverse camera is a must.

Im in Sydney, can anyone reccomed any dealers? As we would trad ethe echo in, cant be bothered trying to sell it.

how old is this item

Its about 4-5 months old dude.

Hey guys, this is finally availble, for $350 ono.

In the pic, its very dirty, but has been cleaned. It has got a few scratches though.

Scroll through these 2 pics

I was going through some old Magazines, and found this yellow Altezza, just wanting to know, if you NZ fellas have seen it, or know what front bar it has.

Its Issue #71 November 2002, with the Orange Quest 4 Hilux V8 on the front.

Here is a pic of the Altezza. BTW, its JDM AS200.

Serran, Not sure, maybe 2 weeks?

Edwin, Yeah, the lip is in the shop somewhere, we just took it off to place the Intercooler, just have to bolt it back up now.

Ive hit an ndicated 216 on the stock dash, but we all know, they can be way off, especially with aftermarket wheels etc.

It wouldnt nudge any more, and it took a while to get there.

Ok guys, got some shots this morning, check em out.

I would assume they are different!

Yeah, looks likes Stephens, but not in that new condition!

Probably next week.

Autobarn sell supercharger kits?

They are an official Blitz Distributor.

zAnything Blitz, I guess they can get

Its quite interesting. The IS200 motor was designed around 1984 or something. There use to be supercharged versions of this motor in the old Toyota Crowns.

I wonder if anybody has tried a reco on one and tuned it accordingly.

I looked into that, but, and also the GE head, but VVTi stops this.

Im pretty sure the Blitz SC kit is for the 3SGE only, no?

Where abouts are you? I may have a Trust Power Extreme II available soon.

hehehe, funny funny...

Serran, where is that link I sent you yesterday? Maybe its good to post it up?

Nice car , of course but i bought mine for $NZ42000 , and there are others in NZ for less .

Ron

Bloody Kiwis,, always teasing :(

Yeah, no, the guy said his wife to be, wants normal wedding cars, i.e Jags etc! :(

i wouldnt call my self a formula one driver (who has launch control), but i can get off the line alright... the shift from 1st to 2nd is a bother though sometimes. Once i have shifted to 2nd its fairly easy to reel someone in then. do you guys with manuals find that the "Trac off" button makes much difference? i dont really think it does.

?UESTLOVE... did you happen to be driving in parra/westmead area on sunday arvo?

Na wasnt me man, my car hasnt been in action for a while hehehehe.

lol, I think we have discovered our first Spammer!

Ok, just picked up my copy, and SPEED talk to Toyota F1 tema Boss, Ove Anderson.

SPEED: Whats Lurking in your garage?

Ove: My dream car is the Lexus IS200, with a 4.3l V8, We have one in Cologne (germany) and its great. We did this as a development exercise, and also have a supercharge version of that engine.

mmmm Supercharge 3UZFE! (4.3 lex V8)

This must be saying something about our cars, Toyotas Formula 1 Teams boss, ex rally driver, dream car is an IS200!
