Hi guys,

Picking up a 52 plate lexus is 200 sport at the end of this month... So excited

Just to get the jist of things I wanted to post a few questions on here from experienced is owners Smile

At the moment I have a track car (gti6) and wanted somthing for a little fun, so I decided to get the is...

I'm not looking for massive power just yet, as I have read up on the car there seems to be 2 options boosting it on stock engine then there is the engine converions....

Anyway not looming for power as I said... But I wouldn't mind learning to skid a little and was wondering what can I do to improve this....

I bought the sport for the diff...

I've had a look at coilovers but I'm not sure what make to get....

Are there any other things that I could do to improve this?

Meister r Coilovers are well recommended (and an official club trader), for better handling you can fail with uprated antiroll bars.

Little bit of wiring to turn the traction control off permanently can help.

Thanks stav, will look into those coil overs where do you get the arb's from?

I'm assuming when I turn the tc off in the car is it not completely off then?

it is off as far as i remember, but turn it off and dump your clutch to test, but everytime you start the car its back on again so you can wire one wire from the back of it to earth to turn off permenently.

ARBs im not sure, ebay is always a good place to start, i got mine from a company i no longer recommend.

I wonder if they will do a discount if a few people order stuff as I'm looking at the bits for the brake kit and a set of the roll bars, I will email them and find out.
