My little project - IS200 Turbo
My little project - IS200 Turbo
The car doesn't really look a lot different from the outside, just a bit lower now, especially at the rear. It was sitting even lower than this at the Ace Cafe, because it had some heavy stuff in the boot. The rear is a bit lower than the front now. Not sure if it's too low, but I haven't had any problems with it so far, and rarely carry people in the back anyway.

Coilover adjuster extenders in the boot, so I don't have to remove the boot carpet to adjust the damping ! :

Current gauge pod, very much a work-in-progress, and I'm going to change it now anyway, at least to point the dials towards me :

Not something to worry about now though. The thing I like about this build is that nearly everything looks like it was designed to be there, it all looks in place and in proportion. The car's got a great stance too
The reason I asked you whether you were running constant wideband at the cafe was because I've heard stories about the LC1 sensor not lasting as long as a narrowband (i.e. stock) sensor... you might need to be replacing it every 3 years.

You can see here the oil feed line from the turbo, which comes from low down on one side of the engine, rather than from the VVT-i feed. You can also see the coolant feed lines to the turbo :

You can just about see the big thick flang(e) joining the turbo to the manifold here. It ended up getting re-made because the first one wasn't beefy enough :

toxo The reason I asked you whether you were running constant wideband at the cafe was because I've heard stories about the LC1 sensor not lasting as long as a narrowband (i.e. stock) sensor... you might need to be replacing it every 3 years.
ok, interesting, thanks. I will see how it goes !

I am undecided as to whether to try and get a custom cover made, to cover up the ugly bits, or just clean it all up as best I can and leave it on show.

08-03-2017, 05:45 AM #960Yeah now the covers are off there are some more bits to clean up for sure ! I actually brought the tyre foam along to the Ace Cafe in case I got a chance, but was too busy :biggrin:
