hey guys, can people post up pics of stock and mildly modded engine bays? I've searched through here but you guys all run custom stuff so hard to get an idea !

As mentioned before the Yellow's did come with Full Leather Trim Black with Yellow stiching is what I got. Woot! The seats are not powered thou. The yellows also may have come with the 6 in dash premium stereo which in my opinon you should factor in as building a similar sounding system (eclipse brand) is said to cost around $2500 upwards. |

Hey Exo, you could be inluck unless this is a dodgy ebay listing... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/LEXUS-IS200-MY02-SP...1QQcmdZViewItem I think the owner would be negotiable if his listing it on ebay!! No start price and one pic states but it for now $16,000 ? Email him - go go go! |

Sure is! Maybe eXo's purely after a manual which is where the IS300 falls short :angry: The 5speed e-shift can be entertaining though

thought long and hard about IS300.. then the conversion to a 6speed getrag.. and possibly a turbo kit to throw on it but the costs were wayyy to high atm. Perhaps when their prices come down abit more I'll do the whole 1.5JZ thing and go stupid on the car.... it certainly would destroy most imports and a few exotics. For now.. Plans are to upgrade the 6-2ltr to a 4-2ltr... (man that sounds weird saying that). Surely there is potential for the factory i6 installed.. is there? btw - no body wants to post pics of their stock/near stock engine bays!! THe pics floating around on these forums are too custom to get an idea on what a normal one looks like. please help!

well eventually... I guess I don't want to carry on too much about it incase it doesn't happen. I was aiming at getting that half-cut from prestiege to do teh conversion with but unfortunately it sold 3days before I could get the money!! :angry: Aww well, good work to whomever got it... I'll be on the lookout for a '01 RS200 now to get from japan. I've heard they're quite hard to get so will see if I can hassel a few importers on sourcing one for me. 3rd call for engine bay pics please! |

I like leather..and I definately wanted a car with a sunroof for once (next step.. convertible) So seeing that the half-cut I wanted is gone I've decided to go with one I can drive around for a few months with as many goodies on it as I can get (mainly to assist in resale) then throw all the japanese powerup bits.. I guess I'm trying to make a hybrid hosting the best out of both versions of the car From what you've guys said, the changes are mainly engine plus the satnav & audio options.. Unless there's something I missed? |

Guess I'll get this one for you too. Its GoldIS's car. There is just a strut brace, so looks pretty stocky apart from that. |

Not to sure but I think its the primary air-intake box? The Altezzas have one too, here. It draws air from the wheel arches at low revs/low speeds when the air velocity isnt high enough (and the butterfly valve isnt fully open yet). So I guess its the same thing in the 1G-FE??? |

ok cool... there's still alot of sus bits here.. so I'll show the pic anyways with what I can't explain. any input will be appreciated as I'm in the process of getting my money organised today so I'd prefer to know if its a dodge job or not so I know whether to cancel the loan and leave this whole hunting till next year cause quite frankly.. there seems to be ALOT of dodgy & tight@$$ IS sellers out there or maybe my luck is that bad I'm coming across them. 1 - intake plastic missing? 2 - wtf is that? 3 - is something supposed to go here? |

part 2 Is there supposed to be a heatshield there? any explanations why there wouldn't be? Is there also supposed to be a plastic covering the whole thing at the airbox level. |

Hes obviously removed the plastic covers (lets the car suck in more air, but its warm/hot air from the engine so no good...) 1- removed the main intake plastic piece 2- perhaps an aftermarket ecu/fuel catalyst/piggy back ecu or something like that 3- the other part of the intake that has been removed. Its similar to just removing the covers of an intake on a normal car I guess (some AS/IS200 owners help me please...) As for the heatshield, cant help you there, lets wait for an IS/AS driver to confirm, dont see why he removed it, unless its an aftermarket manifold? |
