Well not the biggest update but a few new things been goin on,

Got myself a b&m short shifter. Bit of nightmare to fit but got there in the end.

Love this! Best mod to date i think, highly recommend you get one.

Decided to give the engine bay a wee freshen up so wipped off the vvti cover, cam belt cover and the other wee one(dunno what to call it!lol)

Gave them a really good clean with some warm soappy water and then a light sand

Then some of primer followed by white paint, no pictures in primer as it was a white primer.

While i was waiting for these to dry gave the manifold covers a clean then painted with black barbeque paint.

Really chuffed with how these came out :D

Back onto the covers few coats of lacquer and there done.

And all back on the car

Fitted some LED number plate lights

Done some other jobs but no pics

36 LED interior dome light, gives some great light much better than the standard.

And a new set of red stuff pads and discs for the front.

Workin on another couple of things just now hopefully be finished soon :D

Let me know what you think guys

Another wee update

Fitted my TTE rad panel

Grom i-pod adaptor, love this :D

A set of bosch aero twin wiper blades

Next a set of homemade tinted side repeaters

Then i spent the day cleaning the car.

Gave it a good going over with the clay bar, then some poorboys ss2, followed by a coat of poor boys dark show glaze and finished with some P22 wax

Let me know what you think guys

Lol

I dont like polishing exhaust

[griderjn]

hey man,

do you think you could do a thread in the brakes and suspension about your TEIN setup.

i have the opportunity to acquire a used EDFC w/type flex dampers.

i am really itching to get it, but very hesitant on the used coil overs.

it is a combination deal, so i can not opt only for the controller.

a bunch of my friends tell me you can refurbish/rebuild coil overs...

wondering if it is worth it, because i am trying to get some other stuff taken care of before i ship the car to England.

my exhaust is not in very good shape, the stock lowering springs have taken their toll on the cat and muffler.

plus with all the snow, those scratches got pretty infected with rust, not a big deal, since i caught it before it went crazy.

already got a Kakimoto R muffler, looks like it may give better clearance, but i am waiting on the TRD sport center pipe w/catalyzer.

the local NETZ Toyota dealership is closed for a Japanese holiday, so it should be here around the first of October.

and i know that i will not be able to get this gear anywhere near the price i can here.

plus, the guy that is holding the TEIN stuff, waiting for me to make my decision is getting anxious to sell.

Hi, i'm new here but currently owning my second is200.

On the previous one i also had a radiator pannel (from apr) and it made the car pull worse then without? Did you feel any change?

Also interested in the i-pod adapter got any more info about it? Wiring etc.

Much appreciated

Never really noticed a difference mate. Just think it looks nice lol

I got it from eBay on the cheap mate, came with instructions but it basicly just fits into the back of the head unit with a push on block fitting. It is awesome tho!!!!

[wonga121]

Nice ride!

btw, can normal primer and paint do the job for painting the VVTI cover?

[Asi]

tinned primer and paint will do the job mate.

[D6NGR]

[ormi]

[D6NGR]

[ormi]

with lots of greef mate lots and lots and so far its cost him approx £1500

[DaveEdin]

£1500 is still a fair bit less than the TTE ones go for though... :D

[sparkystav]

£1500 is still a fair bit less than the TTE ones go for though... :D

But the parts were mainly second hand

[D6NGR]

is it too much hassle lol does it produce the same amount of power.

WOW!! Mate that is the perfect example of how I want my ls200 to look like, Amazing Job, looks sweet as. Any pic's of what it looks like inside? And any pics of your engine bay an that?

Did u have to do any arch work to fit the 19's on? I was thinking 19's but don't want to do any arch work so might just go for some 18's.

Thanks for you help.
