Swapped them over today to the IK20's I bought off Steve.
Must say I noticed more of a differance then changing the air filter! :thumbup1:
Would suggest them to all who haven't got them yet!

And exhaust, think it was a 1.8t. Don't think i'd stand much chance against the V6.

Old TT or a new one?

The 1.8t and the V6 perform almost identically Smile 1.8t is 225bhp IIRC, the 3.2V6 is 247bhp and loads heavier.

Still a lot more power than an N/A IS200 though Big Grin

Edit: Also, if you're using iridium plugs you need to be VERY sure that you don't keep them in the engine a minute longer than the manufacturers specified service life. We have lost 6 MR2 engines on IMOC recently due to iridium plug disintegration and they were all past their shelf life.

It was an old one, and it wasn't off the line. Know I couldn't have kept up from a standing start. But it was 30-70 on a bit of duel carrige way. :lol:

Got 80k on the clock at the min, going to change them when I get to 100. Thanks for warning though.
