Supra-chargedIS340

MODIFIED THE LINKAGE..........

im not even going to comment.thats should say alot.

..........and i know

pictures........ :whistles:

you cannot, it was fabricated especially as a one off

see you at Gaydon then

what i can say.........

over the last 9 months, there has been a new IS model undergoing tests in Belgium, what i may be able to tell you is this car is currently in TTE.

what i can also tell you is, there are no plans to put the is430 into production as the future trend of Lexus vehicles will not be for a sporty image...................

however what i may be able to tell you is.....that v6 motors and 4 wheel drive has been tested at the nurenburg ring in germany, and that the is430 project was to test the engines capabilitys within the chassis.....

the next IS has a very similer chassis layout :whistles:

couple more pics taken after the road run yesterday

pic 1 Pic of Car outside..after short jaunt 1

pic 2 Pic of rear of car outside

forgot to add............went on a little jolly yesterday, about 6 miles(on trade plates)

it drove remarkebly well, only problem is the ETCS.have to push the accelerator to the floor to get it to rev, but it got to a sprightly 100mph, before realising that

a. non street legal race car, painted matt black and dayglo orange

b. public highway and amazed other road users

wasnt a good idea

as the car is much lighter now(about 400kg), AND MUCH LOWER AND STIFFER!!! the steering is so crisp and responsive, the handling is........well pretty dam amazing, however, i am a little concerned with the brakes......there too dam good now.

as the car is lighter, it doesnt take much to get them to (lock) activate the ABS

and it sounds pretty good......

;)

will let you know in 2 weeks

tinted

i repeat its an inline 6 engine......

the other 3 will either be before, or after the 3 u took out.....

try removing the engine cover :chairshot:

well the electronics are almost finished, so i should be out driving by mid feb, as it will take a week or 2 to finalise the rolling road work

you cannot get them seperatly, they are part of the door panel

ahhhhh a pic of me online.....thats a nice white IS next to the 430..... :whistles:

i am down at TTE in 2 weeks.

the car drives like a dream......and sounds out of this world.

(matt shame we cannot allow the vids of the 430) B)

hehehehe, my cars front brakes came from that car :whistles:

i can get you the TRD ones from either the UK or from TTE :whistles:

IF you order the TRD from the UK it wont cost as much as ordering from the US, the shipping and then import tax is very high from the US to germany, there is no import tax from UK to Germany

drop me a pm if you want to know more.......

or even give us a call, Redneck is at my house now.so he will be able to explain better

i will drop you a PM with my home number now

mat

The original was built by TTE, they have now managed to supercharge it.....

obviously my next business trip to TTE in the new year will involve another test drive now the s/c is fitted

its cost a little, but it pays having the contacts in the right places ;)

The sway bars will fit Phonedrome, as will the TRD yellows or reds

i have the TRD yellows and rate them highly
