you can actually buy the body kit (remember seeing it for sale on a Japanese site)

Not if you're a preferred customer it isn't! I spent about 6 months travelling a lot so I was running up 400 - 500 pounds per month bills (all charged back to the company I worked for). After you have done this for a few months you get promoted to "O2 Select" and you get a new support number (0800). Whenever I call customer services they answer within 2 rings and help you straight away. On the downside the 901 voicemail has just been changed and insists on telling you all the functions (1-9 keys) everytime you want to check your mail. :flaming::flaming:

suicidal tendencies is the tracked robot thats quite low, lifting type thing on the front? trying to remember so i've probably got this completely wrong! are you planning to run the motor outside of the intake tract with a gearbox to put the fan inside, just thinking about the heat that a large electric motor might add to the incoming air if it is inside

hmm, i didn't think these electric supercharger things actually work - there's a lot of fuss on IS300.net about them since the general opinion is that they are a bit of a con!

whoops, its 4 japanese and 710ps! http://www.mrbg03219.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rx7%20dyno1.wmv

i felt the same problem with my car, put it down to the engine running lean but wasn't sure.

there are some mad people around! have you seen the video of the 750HP RX7 with about 5 japanese people sitting on the back trying to keep it on the rollers?

DONT FORGET Only in Britain could more than 5000 people call the emergency services after a tiny earth quake.

woohoo 1603!

just got 1562

and a bad photographer (its hard to take pictures of a magazine!)

good point, i'm an idiot!

don't own a scanner i'm afraid, got rid of it when i got my digital camera.

Got it on friday from whsmiths, article looks good, 5 pages long from page 12. Only problem with the shoot is this dodgy looking sunburnt bloke on the 4th page :D;) Its got to be the Lexus issue of Banzai! 5 pages for your car then in the bit on JAE is another pic of your car and a black IS200 on 19's (can't remember who owns it - was it Blackmagics?) Also got a column in the JAE bit noting Team Lexus to have the best club stand of the show.

I find that I hardly ever use 1st gear since it is just too low, 2nd is fine for slow london traffic and much smoother than driving in 1st.

IS200 IS300 Price 20230 26700 Weight 1380 1500 Power 155 215 Price difference is 6470, this will get you: Super Drager 355 Super Charger 3900 UniChip ECU 550 This should give you about 220 - 230 HP and leave 1665, you could spend this on more engine work (manifolds, boost upgrade, induction kit etc) or work on the suspension: TTE Coilover kit 795 CUSCO Front and Rear Strut 200 TTE roll bars 325 Still leaves 345, get an induction kit made (say 320) and put the remaining 25 for your TeamLexus GoldMemebership :D Overall you will have a 230 - 240HP IS200 that weights 100kg less than the IS300 but cost the same. If you intend to go very high horsepower the IS300 is more suitable than the IS200 since the engine has already been widely tuned.

According to the ApexI in my car I have had it to a maximum of just under 6800 RPM, this seems too high to me since I thought the limiter was lower, its not something I'm going to test or do too often though!

won't this lower your top speed?

Can we delete this thread please, its making me jealous and making me want my car back :(:(:(:(

i think 10 minutes is enough

Looks good, I've got my eye on this one though:

Lexus sent mine to Connoly for the interior.

I think I have been lucky, the only problem I've had is the squeaky seat belt on the drivers side.
