...no shit?

Sorry, had to be done! I do like these things, so much potential. Too bad they don't come in manual, what is the auto like on these anyway? It's a 5 speed yeah?

Auto only unfortunataly, they seem good for up to 500-550 RWHP from what I can gauge in the states, they are a 5speed out of the last of the supra's never sold here japan only, with Eshift on the S/W.

paid in the 20's for it so not a bad buy considering they are 84K new.

NA/T conversion is next on my list of things to do, hopeing to have it complete by years end but the old chestnut of time vs money will have the biggest say in that. :beg:

I was considering one of these for my next car (if buying used) but can't get past the auto or rear end.

Love the colour.

UNR8D is my housemate - 20s are not an option. It will end up on bricks before it ends up on 20s. Even 19s are too gay to put on this car.

XRated - they're bloody good cars man, you should take one for a drive - they feel just like an ED, but slower ;)

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up.

Great looking car mate!

Friend had one of the first IS200 6cyl manual ones back in 2000 maybe?? Would have been a year old.
Was a mint car, not as zippy about town as i thought it would be, but on the ocean road or anything high speed it handled and went great.
Until he lost his job, smashed the gearbox and it go repo'd. D'oh...

lol yea ur right, my old silver one stock did a 15.3@95 or 96mph, CAI and cat back did a 15.01 at 96.5mph, albit with higher K's, and different diff gears to my current one.

the beam's 4cyl ones *import only* were quicker to 100 by .3 but slower over the QTR than the 2J.

Stock rims stay but prob get repainted in graphite black, or matt black innards and polished outer spokes, much cheeper for semi slicks on 17's ;).

all going well there will be a build thread started in a few mths ;)....
