The IS200/Altezza DRIFT Car........

[OLI_EP3]

I too think the car should be painted a nice camo colour seeing as that is your industry as well.

You workshop........... whereabouts is that (pm me if need be please!)

nice work mat! Car looking sweet.......

The inside wear is probably due to the camber setup?

So who test drove it then eh?

[lexus boy]

just the idiot behind the wheel has some issues.......

←

I resent that

:D

[Monster-Mat]

i ment me...... :D

your just the Foo, who leaves his helmet on the passenger seat so it rolls onto me every time i try to do a Drift

[jason_l]

does the drift car have a passenger seat then???? Any chance of riding shotgun for a few drifts, could even do a bit of filming from the inside!!!!

Hi jason, yep i currently have the passenger seat fitted...so shotgun is fine...aslong as you have a helmet

a camera on a camera mount would be better.........for sure!

[jason_l]

im sure i will be able to find a helmet! :D

Thansk mat,

Jason :P

[Monster-Mat]

Well first i must say a massive thanks to Jason what a day mate

and a thanks to Ahmet for being.......well ahmet

and chris and steffi......

well ive now got all the bits i need....i hope, there wasnt much of anything left to take

i managed to get the complete wire loom....and dash

i also got the ABS system, master cylinder and other major components under the bonnet......power steering etc etc

but the beut...is this

now i need to strip and clean everything......and start asking TDI and PROLEX, etc etc for prices on upgrade stuff, im leaning more towards turbocharging this lump...for a healthy 300+ hp

may just drop the engine off and get it rebuilt....as i have bugger all space to store it at the mo

there are a couple of critical parts missing which i need to sort out.....

some a-hole cut through the dash display loom......so i will have to run total aftermarket instruments

the airflow sensor, and me thinks plug....is missing, so will be calling on an Altezza owner to drop around some time to let me loook over the engine bay loom.....

id like to in reality be able to run the engine from a stand alone ecu.....so i can do away with the factory loom......

[TheDon]

still have the cuts and bruisies from removing that bloody thing, sure was interesting lets say!

[Mr Singh]

I may well be going Turbo and internals....

No competition to you, but i'm looking comfortable for over 300hp ;)

[Monster-Mat]

well i want some of the "Tuning companys" on here, to lay some info infront of me before i make an informed decission

what you doing with the S/C then

[Mr Singh]

I have a buyer lined up for the s/c..

Turbo Kit will most likely be the Apexi, Turbo output is good for upto 400bhp.

Will be going TODA forged pistions, will leave conrods... lowered compression should easily allow upto 1-1.2bar maybe more if u double up head gasket, but its my daily driver so have to make sure its reliable lol

IIRC turbo kit does come with injectors aswell...

I would of kept the s/c but increasing boost to the limits of the stock engines limits isn't worth it imo.. the pulley is little complex..

i was looking at APEX in Japan, where you getting the kit from.......PM if you wanna

[Monster-Mat]

so today, i thought id start stripping the engine down.....got the gearbox of and found this flywheel.........

i am thinking its aftermarket...... can anyone clarify, the clutch was TRD

if it is....i will be getting rid anyway as i will be fitting an OGURA twin plate with 4.5KG flywheel

the back end is sculpted out.....not like a std flywheel usually looks like a solid disc on other cars

[Mr Singh]

Dont know what my stock one looked like...

But some names for lightweight flywheels for 3S-GE

BANDOH

C-ONE MOTORSPORT

CUSCO

ORC

TODA POWER

TOMs

TRD

So, could be any of those if its not stock.

I think Nikko has side-by-side pic, will ask him on that though...
