Don't Let Me Modify My Car

[javadude]

It's just perfect the way it is. I picked up a 3 month old Mesa Red IS220d Sport yesterday. Its an awesome car in every way and looks stunning. OK I know I should post a photo. I must try not to catch the modifying bug this time...

[Steve]

hey congratulations mate!

[javadude]

Thanks. I usually change my car about every 5 years and it had been 5 years :) The IS200 needed 100k service, 4 new tyres and alloys reburbing = about £1100 so it seemed like a good time.

[Tony-Bones]

Good news about the new car, seemingly a wise move with 100K on old faithful..... But to assist your thread wim says... 'DON'T MODIFY YOUR CAR!'...... :D

[javadude]

lol thanks tony. Reaping the rewards of all that study now. OK so I haven't submitted by first invoice yet but hey... :)

I know you have worked very hard and i am sure that invoice will happen soon..... Then you can afford to modify the car :o Oh....no i meant then you can afford a welcome brake and some R+R.... that's it R+R.... phew i nearly suggested lowering the car, up-grading the ARB's adding LED's, induction, sports exhaust then. I am glad i didn't :D

[maneesh]

you need some RIMS

BODYKIT

ZAUSTS!

[javadude]

Ooh I like those black wheels at the top. If I'd got a black one then I'd have been tempted to get some like that. Not sure they go so well on a red one.

OK, its been dark or raining since I bought it but here's an attempt:

[maneesh]

nice. it's crying out for a sports grille tho.. :D

[Dave-Ellen]

Can chip it for you.............got TTE lowering springs...................got body kits...............

you know you want to !

how come the IS250 can be chipped but not the IS200?

[Mr Morse]

Who is going to be first to put a blower on their IS250?

its a is220 diesel :winky:

[javadude]

I guess cause its got a turbo is why you can chip it?

Someone's gonna pick up an IS200 at auction with a very nice exhaust soon. The standard 16" wheels did look a little sad on it after 3 or 4 years sitting in my garden though.

Be interesting to see photos of the 17" Kosei Snipers on the LS they're heading for.

Anyway... my wife found this thread and explained what she'd do to me if I did spend money on modifying the car

[Bobski]

Just the WHEELS then? :)

[P38Aaron]

Java...Are you going to lower it? justa little...you know you want to! :D

[javadude]

lol its lowered a little being the sport....... OK I might just tint the windows to keep the sun off the children...

As Dave mentioned, it is only the diesel that can be chipped, TTE have done wonders getting some decent power and loads more torque out of the standard ECU.

Oh yeah nice car too Javadude, saw this colour in at the dealership in the sun, it is really deep.

[Scarlet Pimpernell]

..and you got the best colour...well done

[Mr-Lex]

Congrats mate...good choice :winky:

[derekyau]

Tidy B) Only 3 months old as well :)

Enjoy the car! Miss any of the SE-L or MM toys though?

Guess these can come under the mods list... Oh yeah, DONT MOD!

lol
