Good find, I can certainly remember that issue of Hot 4's it would be under my bed somewhere! This car was hot back then and fast fwd nearly 10 years and it still is a hot car! |

Wow, just found this article, awesome post Wes! Quote a sweet setup, interesting too because most turbo Altezza's in Japan use a bolt on kit which does not include an intercooler (presumably for response reasons, and due to the colder climate in many areas there). Interesting also to note that they use Super DOT4, which is the highest you can go in the IS200 also (according to Indy, the Master Cylinder does not support DOT5). Such a nice, clean install. Exactly how I would want my Altezza to be - technically ![]() Check out that last comment though - boy did they get THAT wrong! |

Thats a good point you make there Matt, there certainly isn't a huge aftermarket support for our vehicles! The thing that surpises me with this car is, if you compared what other cars where in Hot 4's in that issues and fast forward today they look tacky, but this car still looks fresh and unreal! But then again the purple recaros aren't for me, but I like them because it contrasts well with the yellow exterior and its unique! |

DOT 5 is not supported because its silicone based and cant be mixed with the non-silicone based fluids DOT3, 4, 5.1 DOT 5.1 is ok to use with the benifit of a higher boiling point |

Funnily that article was probably one my earliest inspirations to get an Altezza! That magazine is still in my top 10 of frequently re-read issues!!! |

top article that one.... You can tell its back in the 90's when they talk about "two extra injectors and a microfueler" Thats dinosaur technology these days.. But I remember back in the 90's that was all the rage.... and a front mount intercooler was almost unheard of! That car is Hot.. Even by todays standards.... just goes to show that the SXE/GXE altezza's are a timeless shape.... |

Alcon brakes... :-[]~~~~ Wonder how they perform on the streets? This car reminds me of a yellow AS200 that was being sold a few years ago in Auckland, with red Bride reclining front seats and full Bride door panel trims and rear seat trims. And C-West full kit I think it was, with aero side mirrors. Any Aucklanders remember seeing it?? |
