My first RWD - IS200 Sport

[Rcroke07]

Right I've been here a while but now I finally have a reason to post.

I picked this up 2 weeks for myself and my girlfriend (she is waiting to sell her DA integra and upgrade) ago and so far I couldn't be happier with the car. Currently the only modifications done are the later models Sports grill and lowered 30mm all round with Tein springs. The car has been well looked after and came with a full service history in receipts from lexus and fast fit dating back to when the car was new.

The usual Sports features are also there like the LSD, 6 speed box, interior etc.

Going forward the plans are : TRD carbon strut braces (formally on an altezza so hopefully they will fit as some do some don't) which I am picking up today, 20mm spacers for the rear, TRD lip kit (If I can ever find one), Greddy oil catch can being ordered during next week and different wheels will follow soon.

Thats about it, all comments good or constructive appreciated.

Sorry about the use of donedeal pictures.









So far the main issues we have faced is a sqeak from the clutch spring, and another from the fan belt (sorted with the power of WD40 and a quick tighten). Here however shows the corrosion on the wheels and a quick idea from my other half Denise to refurb them gold (below is only the spare which was just a test hence the half-arsed job)

@Greg - It was lying up for a few months before buying it so the breaks had become slightly sticky and were making a bit of noise that was about it. Hard lock from standing it makes a little clunking every so often but Still have to get up to one of the lads pits to check the diff oil level. I had my dad look it over and he said just to check it too as everything seems fine.

@ Everyone else - very happy with it, and impressed with the comfort and driving just hoping the strut braces go on later!

Change the oil and it'll quieten down. Do it before you fuck it up and end up costing yourself a heap of money

Thats the plan as soon as Eugene is free. I haven't really been messing with it being completely honest just waiting to get that and the few bits in the first post mostly done and take it from there.
