Lexus IS200 GGP Build Thread (Portugal)
I agree that its probably easier to just buy a cradle from Patrick, but maybe you have know-how to pull it off. I personally knew that if I tried doing that I would end up never having a cradle..
About the Portuguese toyota forum, it seems to be low on IS200's, low as in I think I'm the only one
Well, I think I know all I need to get it working. Bypass valves, pulleys, etc.

I'll be honest, though I understand some may not be fans, I like it
And a long overdue short clip of my exhaust mod aka no end muffler

The lights look nice and they should give better light, thought I will not do that to my Lexus...don´t want to draw the police attention! :p
The exhaust looks a bit loud...I prefer a good quiet performance muffler!
Now...the cradle...we must meet so I can take some measurement of the cradle! :p
BTW...which engine oil do you use for the Lexus?
I will have to change mine in about 4000kms and will also change the diff and gearbox oil, just for prevention.
Cheers

The exhaust is indeed loud, but I have to be honest, its very fun to drive like this. Could be a bit more silent on low rpms, and I will eventually add a muffler, but for now, I love it!
Regarding the engine oil, I'm using 5W-30 Castrol Edge, changing every 10K kms or 1 year.
Does yours have the LSD diff?
Finally, sure, we can meet whenever you want, just have to give me a heads up first because I'm not storing the cradle in Lisbon, but I can bring it back on a weekend no problem!
Let me know
I don't think they mind the lights, they won't even notice given the kind of car it is.

Mine doesn´t have LSD...I think they didn´t come with LSD here on Portugal.
I will tell you something this weekend...maybe I will go to Lisbon!
So...next mods?
Mine will be sway bars, droplinks and then new Michelin PS4 tires (safety first! :p ).
But first I still have to change the rest of the oils and then MOT! :p
Before starting the power upgrade, I will still have to change the timing belt and water pump.

Next mods are the supercharger of course and sway bars/koni eibach suspension!
Already got my new tires and timing belt and water pump changed
They came with LSD's on the ones that have the sunroof, its part of the package. I'll bring the cradle this weekend then.

Have you considered putting a rotrex instead of the supercharger?
My only concern is the supercharger wining...I don´t know if it will get too loud inside the car.

17-05-2023, 11:25 AM #29The price they ask for one of those...I can buy the supercharger an LSD and still would save money!
