Wanted: supercharger...
Wanted: supercharger...
You could go down the tubby route, and see how long the auto box lasts. they sell for £300 all the time so even if you break a couple in a few years it isn't exactly a lot of money to get a replacement. Thats why a lot of big power Is200 are running standard boxes when they break just put another in - cheaper than a getrag 6 speed.
OK...bump and update...no-one will quote me let alone insure me with a supercharger due to age (I'm 19 in 11 days ). WHICH brings me to a dilemma...because I DO want something unique done with my car..now bear with me...I have been considering a RESPRAY!!! Yes...a respray in this color (pearl white). I never seen an IS200 in that colour and I think it would look amazing ...
What do you think? Alternatively...feel freee to suggest other ways to spend 2k without bumping up insurance)!
Must agree with lexusboy - hold onto your money until something comes your way that you can insure.
Buy some uprated anti-roll bars, get the geo setup by WIM (after arbs are in), that will *hugely* improve the car's handling. Then save the rest.
Much less body roll when it goes round corners, almost flat. So it gives you a lot more confidence going round corners, roundabouts etc, and is a lot more fun ! :biggrin:
