Cylinder Head Modifications

TheDon · August 2, 2004

to be honest im not realy at liberty to talk fully about the car and yes it is in a non complete state. but Fast and furious performance will be creating a full metal widearch kit (no fibreglass) with custom front and rear bumpers and skirts.

Vibe should be supplying all of their top of the range kit for free once the car is ready. Streetworks should hopefully help with the wiring.

Wheels are being sorted at the mo with a set of 19" Arospeed velocity rims.

I am a moderater on one of the best london car clubs (www.lmc-uk.com) and am in charge of the jap section. so get special privilages.

There are several other companies being lined up by the owner of the site too.

We are in close links with Revs and Fast Car and are they are camping at our stand at USC this weekend as well as coming out with us for the past few weeks.

we are also in the running for HIN (hot import nights) Best UK car club with more bling members than all the others.

So i hope this answers your question?

Havent had too much time to spend on here with other commitments but am with UKAZN (alex) pushing to have the lex respected by all other modders.

been a bit

lets get back on topic gents

Mr Catchpole-----------Any more news on my head (not the balding one )

Fargo · August 3, 2004

Well mr Don looks like you got soem plans for the 200.. personally though i think your 200 is heading down max power street with a body kit plan such as yours.. but hey each to there own young man.. :P

The head is done and dusted Mr E. We are in the process of assembling the short engine at the mo. Should be done a bit quicker than the Monster ;)

Fargo · August 3, 2004

i hope you give Mr Ellen good head.... after all he is paying you good money to get good head...

TheDon · August 3, 2004

there is nothing i hate more than a max power car, flip paints etc or mad kits. i am basicaly having them retain the standard look whilst giving it a notation of power. Basicaly they are going to do an M3 look to the car. just slightly broadening the arches to allow wider rear tyres nothing more than 1" per side and no gordy race look things.

Its going to retain the full character of the car in all ways and be subtle.

I am in no way a max power muppet and resent that. i have taste and decency and also am not affraid to change things for the better.

The car is blatently similar to every other car about. and i want mine to set apart but look like it came from the factory that way.

sorry to go off topic people but i have to defend myself.

So in conclusion - think M3 and how it resembles the 3 series big bad brother - then think that done to the IS200.

Fargo what you been smokin bro

Chris---Where will you be getting M3 power from

TheDon · August 3, 2004

Supercharger etc same way as everyone else. but its mainly the look im after as its mostly gonna be a show car

Fargo · August 3, 2004

lol @dave,, mee smoking,,, gave that up long long time ago..

Chris,, your plans sound subtle enough.. dave raised a good point though,, what will you be doing reagrds power,, will it be all show and no go.. ..

DaveEllen · August 3, 2004

Supercharger etc same way as everyone else. but its mainly the look im after as its mostly gonna be a show car

Good luck to you Chris.

Personally I can't see the point as a car is to be driven not to show..........nnow if you were converting it to a track day car.............

TheDon · August 3, 2004

its gonna be a classy example of a lex, nitros from NX will propell it further. engine will be dressed.

Keeping it all JDM

HKS Fcon and hopin for Teins with edfc. its gonna do the lot. but not all at once.

gonna take a good few months b4 its all done

Fargo · August 3, 2004

s/c, good stuff..

nitrous form NX.. can i ask why you have chosen NX,, i personally (aswell as others) recommend Highpower stuff,, they knock spots off all the others, and certainly back up there technical expertise with fact,,

what jets size are you thinking of going to.

good choice on the edfc,, you wont be disapointed.

why you going with an Fcon though,, i would have though the unichip with the 3D mapping module would be fine and cheaper..

TheDon · August 3, 2004

im completly open to engine tuning, if the chip will do then i will have it.

NX because of a deal that i cant resist if that makes sense!!!!

only want a max of 75bhp but more than likely just run 50's as standard.

but that will be me last mod as insurance will cain me!

Fargo · August 3, 2004

what deal are NX doing for you,, is the deal worth future problems,, now im gona sound like im on commision here.. high power systems are THE best out there.

high power have even invited and ripped apart other suppliers on there forums, when having a factual technical debate on opposing products..

how are nx going to deliver that shot of gas to the engine,, via a controller i hope..

What lines will NX be giving you to run form the nos bottle to there

engine delivery bit

have a look at highpowers forumfor the facts..

what everyone should know before purchasing a nitrous system

Wise words Grand Master Fargo :D

It doesn't seem that long ago that a certain Mr Uknowhoo was battering us for using High Power systems.

DaveEllen · August 3, 2004

Had my Hi-Power for nearly a year now .................

looks for a piece of wood...........settles for his head :P

Fargo · August 3, 2004

indeed mark,, and i believe this person even approached highpower to do a comparative test..

TheDon · August 3, 2004

its gonna be more 4 show than anythin. will only use the top stuff if i do get it installed. and it will be the last thing that i install!

Fargo · August 3, 2004

why not get the high power stuff installed instead then,, will save you more time and hassle,, else you gota remove the nx kit and then have the other kit fitted..

so what is the deal that nx are doing for you and what kit will they be supplying.. ie size of bottle, what type of lines, a contoller etc..
