Quick IS

[Steve]

I was sent this email by JAVIER QUIROS and thought i should post these pics.. this is a very nice machine!

Here goes!

I have been looking at your nice IS 200 and IS300 that are being modified in your country,and I just want to show all the funs of Lexus the craziest and most succesful conversion that we made in Costa Rica by the TOYOTA DISTRIBUTOR,PURDY MOTOR SA.

-Original twin turbo eng from a 1997 Supra

--Modifications made:

-ABS system had to be removed to another space

-A/C system had to be replace to a new position inside the hood

-Intercooler adapted

-Gear box mountings,modified

-All the electrical system from Supra had to be installed in the Lexus

-3" mufler

If you want more information,please contact me.The car is a bullet,goes from 0-60 MPH in 5.7 seconds,and now we are changing computer and adding more boost,so it should be a little faster

WOAH!!!! does this beast come in Right -hand drive ?

[John Lee]

looks like the brakes on the car r still the original type. Can the original brakes provide sufficient stopping power to the monstrous engine?

That would be a real M3........even M5 killer.

I will have to get one of those apexi timers, it will be more accurate than my TAG, will probably sharpen my times a bit:smilegrin:I start watch, go, then look down for 60mph then stop it, probably slower than actual time.TRD328, that is one fast IS auto, well done mate
