hi buddy, thx for the advice
i double checked the MPG meter, it varies when driving, i suppose thats normal, but it shoots up to the max when stops which engines still running.
and do you is200 owners find that the car has a slight radiation problem? or just my car... after driving i find areas such as the shifter panel area, the coin holder area, passenger foot resting area and etc pretty warm...i meant overly warm, is that normal?
one more thing, if im to put a turbo or supercharger in, where is the best place to the parts? can this old car handle it if only putting in a turbo without upgrading other systems? like the radiation system?

hi guys, this is nahc from south east china.
i am new here and also a new owner of is200, bought it off my dad haha.
i dont think my dad has done anything to the car over the past 10 years other than oil change. im planning to take it for a check up.
for this 10 year old car, is there anything i should check or pay attention to? like the post about the "timing belt" issue is really useful, thanks a lot guys!!!
few more questions
*i think everything remains orginal in this car. its a little bit noisey when accelrating what do you guys think the problem is?
*there are 3 little meters on the meter panel, one is water temperature, one is the Battery, what is the bottom one? when driving it goes down to 0 i think, but wehn stop at traffic light, it goes up to 30... is it normal?
*is200 has about 160 horses, pls correct me if im wrong, but i still feel it kinda lacks power, is there anything i can do to it to gain an extra 20 or 30 horses? i dont exactly have enough paper to do a engine change or turbo tho...hehe, pls guys, put in your advices.
thank you~~!!!
