Am not currently on the hunt for a manual box no, to be honest i love the auto. Obviously there are times when a manual would be far more enjoyable, but, the auto box on the supra is very good if you use it properly, even compared to a lot of modern day auto's. Yes i know i'm biased
The only thing that annoys me is the engine could be producing far more, and the turbo comes into its own at 1.6 bar. Due to the parts fitted its making very good torque for the horsepower level, and an extra 50bhp would really bump the torque up quite a bit, putting the box at risk. With its current setup i know i can give it some abuse and not massively worry about breaking it Its certainly at an early stage of its transformation though. Mechanically its fantastic. Even after being off the road for the last 6 months. Its just had a full service, mot and 4 new tyres. The interior is being done first and should be mostly complete in the next couple of weeks, its currently a mass of wires! Im fitting a new black carpet, carbon wrapped the dash panels, fitted aluminum bezels, had a new cluster style designed, full red led dash conversion and have my eye on some tasty seats.
The exterior however (despite me being a detailer!) needs some tlc. There is a lip to be fitted to the front bumper, both wings need paint as they are slightly damaged, it has an aftermarket bonnet which i want to replace to stock with subtle vents cut out, the roof needs paint, as does the boot after laquer coming off from a previous roof spoiler. It has a Trial rear bumper which i want to replace with stock again and a carbon diffuser. I also want the standard spoiler re-fitting (which i got with the car) as the back end is noticably light when travelling at 'reasonable' speeds
So with this list in mind it would make perfect sense to get the work done in one go and have a complete respray, most likely in black again.
As always, the list goes on....

An IS200 (as i have seen there are quite a few of these here) is priced at £325 for a stage 1 Paint Correction, details of this service can be found here http://invisibletouchdetailing.co.uk/stage1.html
I know the site states for a 2 door vehicle, but this is the simplest way to describe. Personally i would put the IS into the same bracket size wise as a Supra or 3 Series

I have heard really good things about the auto box on the supra actually but my left leg would get bored lol, nowadays i keep a eye on the projects on mkiv more than the forums in general, it's always good to see Jamie_P and what he's up to with his

Dark Samurai Is200 are 4 door vehicle though?
That they are
But i base my prices on the time required. Larger vehicles pay more etc The physical size of an IS i would put into the same bracket as other cars priced at £325. The next bracket up is 4 door vehicles such as a 5 series, which the IS is definetly smaller than.Christian
