Was comparing things between the IS200 and my Skyline and never realised that the is200 was slightly heavier than the skyline?

Thought the skyline was going to be a lot heavier as to me it seems like a lot bigger car than my IS, but my skyline weighs in at 1370kg, and the IS200 at its minimum weighs 1385kg?

Must be all the electrics and mod cons and bigger fuel tank they have in the IS :ohmy:

Mines a bit confusing though as its a spec 1.5 as it has the spec 2 engine and a few other spec 2 parts but a spec 1 body:confused:

As i say i was bored :laugh:

Yeh my IS200 has been passed on to SPC and i've sold most of the bits off it now, Confusedhock:

The IS200 has a 70ltr tank as you have a 10ltr reserve from when the red light comes on Confusedneaky2:
