Frustration with lack of power...
I've seen a variety of exhausts and induction kits available, but not a lot else.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.:thumbup:
Cheers!

I'm starting to get a bit frustrated with the standard engine in my IS200 :angry:, and was wondering if there are any parts recommended for some extra horses.

A sporty exhaust will give the perception that you are going 'faster', but realistically will add probably 1-5bhp.
Induction kit will also make a nice sound and possibly net you a max of 10BHP providing you go for a well designed one with a good filter on it.
If I were you I'd spend money on the handling. Do suspension/roll bars etc. It wont make the car faster obviously, but it'll bring back the enjoyment factor of driving the car. Also I've noticed that the lower you put the car to the floor the faster you feel you are going :p
Short of super/turbocharging, nothing will make a massive difference in all honesty (sorry to sound defeatist).

Cheers for the BHP gains mate thats helpful. I've got some coilovers set to maximum stiffness and I cant get it any lower without it thumping on the road...

average Supercharger cost is between 1500 and 2500
save up for a charger mate best thing for the is200 as a quick pick me up unless yo have between 4 and 6k for a decent turbo setup
