My first RWD - IS200 Sport

[Rcroke07]

nice..

have one here myself that im trying to source a nice big engine for

There seems to be alot of interest in the uk with adding a similar super charger from the is300 or just a complete transplant to an RS200. Thats just what I've seen from browsing anyways but I have no plans to change anything myself

Nice job lad, the buddy bought one very like this recently. Comfy nice cars. Well wear.

Right another quick update. I picked up strut braces last night, the front is Carbon (unsure of the make) and the rear is TRD (still to be fitted). I forgot to get pictures of the front but hopefully will have them up tomorrow. Anyway the few things I managed to get a picture of are

The Tein springs (soon to be for sale) :




I finally put the gold wheel on the car to check the colour. I do like it to be fair but don't have time to refurb the rest just yet.




I picked these up this morning with a big thank you to Sparky. They are 20mm Nissan spacers which I have sent away to get re-treaded and will hopefully have back tomorrow. My problem is I will ether have to Roll the arches or wait for the coilovers to arrive otherwise I'll have a lovely rusted Arch.




Right the rest of my Purchases Currently include the coilovers and a OEM Carbon bonnet (hopefully) which thanks to a few favours being owed are really coming at the right price. I also sourced a Tezza for breaking close to home so I am seriously hoping the TRD lip kit is okay and worth taking. All plans going well It'll be something nice and dishy soon.

@Greg - Diff oil checked today, cheers for the tip

nice one ricky.. did ya sell the golf?

think your mad ta be spendin that much cash on one but each to their own

well wear man, another tip-if you're doggin da shit outa it keep an eye on da temp gauge as they tent to overheat with a hard going over, maybe we are just rough around here but have seen 2 overheat in da last few months so just keep an eye on it

@Jordan - No the golf is still here. It'll be for sale very soon. To be honest Its a car i've like for a long time and if I decide to sell her, the parts going in can be stripped and sold again. I think I will have it for a long time to come though.

@Andy - I definitely will man. I have heard the same thing only last night. I am looking into picking up an oil cooler off a van and fabricating the current brackets. However this mightn't happen for a while to come. Cheers for the tip

Aboy ricky , welcome along ....
been ages since i've been down to waterford ...
When ye meeting up these days , ill pop down some night

[Rcroke07]

How's Eddie, long time no see. I'm not generally around too much these days but if you're ever around give a shout any time at all. I'm in Mooncoin more that anything Actually I may come up your way soon as I have to see a few Clonmel heads.

Got a few picks of the front Strut, still waiting on the TRD one for the rear to go in (I fear cutting carpet)







Can anyone shed some light on this or is it a real coco pops jobbie?
