The HKS hybrid oil filter arrived yesterday. Here are some pics of the filter.
Here are some of the parts i have collected up to now for the next upgrade. I have found 4 injectors and I need 2 more. Also a few pics of the polyurethane steering rack bushes.
Wow is all i can say. I cant believe the amount of work you have done. How hard is that supercharger kit to get. My parents are in greece right now buliding a house maybey my dad can pick one up and ship it to me any ideas.

Did a service today to the car. Changed the oil and fitted new Torco SR-1 oil. Also fitted the new short HKS oil filter. As you see from the pic the space is limited with the sandwich plate so there is no other option than fit this size of filter.
I just collected the new steering wheel. It is version with the black leather and red stitches. I was looking for ages to get one of this but I managed at the end.
Car looks great. Just one curious question, has anyone swapped in a 1G-GTE head off a MKIII Supra? Imagine a twin 1/2-charged (twin turbo and supercharged) IS200..

New updates. Today we fitted the upgrade parts. First we fitted the 375cc injectors, relocated the steering wheel bottle, installed the water/methanol kit and lastly the 160mm pulley with the 5PK583 belt. I believe this is the correct belt size. It was already too tight before using the cradle belt tensioner. Next step is now to arrange this week to have the car remapped and see what the performance output will be. Driving back home I had the meth kit disengaged (wait until the car is remapped), but up to 4500rpm the boost gauge showed me 8psi! I did not push it further want the engine safe until the upgrade has finished. Happy with the result though. Here are some pictures of today's work.
I have a ticking noise coming from the engine bay area (might even be 2 different types of ticking) - can only hear them at idle (not from within the car, but from outside, with the hood open)
The first type of ticking i believe comes from the front of the engine, from the belts / pulleys...
Does anyone know if the right side mirror on an RHD car will fit the right side of an LHD car? I read somewhere that they don't fit, but not sure why. My mirror is broken, the glass itself is ok, but the housing is broken and motor doesn't work. Could only find RHD cars for stripping in Europe...
I'm a proud new owner of a 2001 IS200 (LHD)
My car has a few issues i need to sort out:
1) ABS light always on and TRAC lights us every few seconds. I know it's probably an ABS sensor (or wire) but i don't want to start checking all of them. I went to pull up codes but the code reader got...
Hi all,
got a problem on my 2003 Is200 automatic. when it gets up to temp it runs really rough and shows a flashing cel and P0301. this is a misfire on cyl 1. I have replaced the coil pack and all six spark plugs without success. It has also recorded a P0701 ( system too lean on bank 1 )
O2...
