Hey guys! New possible owner
Hey everyone,
I'm seriously considering buying a Lexus IS200 next month and I just wanted to sign up and say hi as well as hopefully get some more info on these cars.
I will be looking to modify them and was wondering what kind of costs I would be looking at to go FI with them. I've scoured around and it seems Supercharging seems to be the order of the day, with the TTS SC (iirc) being the popular choice at around £2k just for the kit?
Also, I couldn't find a picture thread (I'm useless with the search function) of all the members lovely cars- I would love to see what you guys have done to your rides. I'm looking into more OEM+ style of modding- less is more as they say but with wide wheels etc. Any recommendations or pics of your favourite rides?
The IS200's seem to be going for quite cheap at the moment (albeit slightly high mileage)- anything I should be on the lookout for?
Thanks a bunch guys. Any help is much appreciated.

welcome to ojc,
As Dimis said, 155 stock, 205 charged. However, other mods can increase that a bit too, and 220 is achievable without too much hassle or cost. You can go higher, 250+ with the charger, by it can get pricey with other mods needed to keep it running safely.
If you want to see some pics, check the Projects thread section here: http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/for....php?f=377 There are all models there, but many IS200s, with Sparkystav, Ormi and Rabster having some of the nicest ones (Rabs now sold, but thread should be there!)
Nexus Thanks Stoney. I've heard of some turbo'd cars pushing over 400 bhp and others running 2jzgtes

Stoney There are a couple. Stav is running near 400bhp from a single turbo 1G GTE, and Sam B has just finished a 1JZ GTE conversion. But if you have this in mind then you had better have one hell of a budget and/or be a mechanical and electrical genius! Stav's car is amazing, but owes him over £20k, I am sure.
