Coming Out

[MacRS200]

Ok, it was all supposed to happen Saturday at the Dr's but as we know Tony was crook so it was all off for good reasons. Anyway got myself a Tiptronic RS200 Altezza.

Done a few mods already starting with leather covers bought from and fitted by Fargo

RS-R Manifold (was bling whan I got it) and waiting for the section to take the pre-cats out

HKS Induction

Also bought Fargo's Coilovers (Apexi N1 V's) getting fitted this week and then off to the Doctor next weekend for the Geo set up. The handling needs sorted.

Cleaned the MAF sensor at the weekend and WOW what a difference :D

Got some questions for more changes but will put in a new post, happy as a P*g in sh*t at the moment.

[Anees]

WOW Neil!! SO you finally got your car!!

Looks lovely!! Well Done! Those seat covers do look really good! :D

Noticed any difference in performance with the Altezza low down the rev range then? Is is noiser then the IS?

Congratulations! :D :D

[Tony-Bones]

A "babe"!!! :D well done Neil no wonder you sounded soooooo happy on the phone

[OLI_EP3]

sweet......

another joins the darkside.....

[MacRS200]

Thanks guy's

@ Anees - Performance low down is good, pulls from about 2.5 - 3K, really kicks above 5K :D . Louder, yes, growl low down and big ROAR at the top end. Mate reckons she will get an ASBO

Doesn't it feel better having over 211Bhp under ur foot ......... ?

Nice one mate ........... just need a Kit now !

[Matthew_McNally]

very nice Neil :D

need to sort your badging out though - car is having something of an identity crisis

[Fargo]

glad youve finally come out lol

[Adie]

Very nice mate. Car looks great B)

But i agree about the badges - Lexus or Altezza

Was thinking about trying to find someone who could do an "R" same style and font as the IS letters and badging as Lexus R S 200

Also user name change is needed I think? Can I PM you Mr McNally as I believe you are the man

hmmmm.

you need an RX owner who has changed his badges, and can donate the RX bit

[Adie]

You can normally find the various badges on eBay and i'm sure Scott sells them also

Does the hmmmm mean not a good idea?

[MacRS200]

Like I said supposed to be last Saturday, thanks for the work on the covers mate, really appreciated.

[MrADeveci]

No, that's usually his way of thinking .............. ;)

nope! not at all mate.

badging it RS200 is OK by me - either by getting an "R" or finding RS badges.

I just dont think you should make it a Lexus RS200 - there is no such thing.

I would lose the Lexus and (L) and just have the Altezza.

Or maybe the RS200 badge in the place of Lexus? so its RS200 ....... Altezza

I just like honest badging I'm afraid

[Matthew_McNally]

Scott from ASP does altezza badges here

You can get a proper RS200 from there :winky:

maybe one for the grill - although I personally prefer the Altezza badge for the front grille.

Good look finding ANYTHING for your mate - googling altezza always seems to lead to places selling "altezza / lexus lights"

Fair enough, thought about getting rid of the Lexus and (L) anyway and just having the RS200 Lexus style where Altezza is now. Put bid on the RX badges from the states so will see what happens there, thanks for the tip.

Looking at a private plate as well along the same lines so anyone who knows will know :winky:

Got an RS200 badge from Scott along with the car :D

Like you say I don't think it suits the rear end so hence the lexus style R idea.

Manifold from Scott (import from RS-R in Japan), cost £500 including the section to take out the pre-cats.

[Rrs200]

Did you find any difference of your RS-R manifold, after fitting mind RS-R i can feel the difference in power as I change mind into 4-2-1 without cat. Also the sound of it, now i find it a bit noise on mind with buddy club spec II exhaust.

Also make sure you keep the manifold as nowdays its very hard to get hold of one of these.
