1S200/250/300...a see saw emo ched...

Postby **Monk BANzai** » September 30th, 2009, 10:23 pm

some will agree and others will say "bah"....but the IS200/250/300 is a series of car that you will fall in love with...then fall out of love with (horn her) and ten fal lback in love with after you realised what you've done...

The car is one of those affordable "mix of performance and luxury"...note i said "affordable"...yes yes ...Legacy owners will run to you and say "NAY!!! the GT is defn a better car!!" and maybe....but....i dunno...have a look see.

..and so on and so on....the car comes with a nice variety of engines too!!...and depending on your "flavour" its really a pop in pop out scenario. Of course, one of the better celebrated "Altezza's" is the TRD Tezza..

or the HKS Time Attack beast...

but here's the thing...if you look at it long enough, you begin to dislike the car, after all, it was the "Altezza" that ushered in the blaze of "TEzza Rice Lights" for evey fackin car known to man (even the Russian Lada's have Tezza lights gat dammit!!) and you start to NOT want to own one...

but then.....you see this.

and it makes you wonder.....ae?!

add your Altezza/IS-T pics as you see fit....and you opinion...

i will agree that this is an "affordable" sporty car
i in canada and jus been scoping out cars for whenever i will be able to afford one
and for the same price u will pay for a Lancer Gt in trin, u can get the IS250 in canada
so do i get a Mitsubishi or a Lexus...hmmmm
y are cars so ridiculously expensive at home?

Altezza's are so sexy.....Went to the NYC car show and was absolutely blown away by the V8 conversion in one some years back.

good "upset" copper.......been doing some research, and came up on this one. This car has every seingle aftermarketable part replaced. And if you look closely, you'll see that its running on IS-F "sport" wheels.....the 19 inch alternates of the base model IS-F. Not cheap.

Then there's this sleeper. From the discussion board i got these pics from, this beast can output clsoe to 1,000 ponies (as they dynoed it at that) but detuned it to 500whp as they needed it as a "toco run" car. Clean install.

Specs
IS200 2000 model.
Sports lux
AC
Power steer
Sunroof
heated electrics seats

CD/MP3 player.

1UZ
Auto
Completely stock
6 months rego (NSW)
engineered (NSW)

twin 2.5 inch into single 3

Motor has 80k's on it
Heads have been completely serviced.

B&M shifter.

Dyno sheet at 980whp/627lbs/torque

Some pics care of Matt

The car does something for me in red as well....

trying to get more on this build, like engine specs....cuz this "look" is a look that reminds me ofa 10,000 plus scraming rpm Tezza that i used to follow up on back in the day.

This example is jsut sexay....pics didnt come in a blog or anything, but i wanted to find out if thats Nismo rims he's playing there...also dont like the offset on this one...indicates that this isnt really a performance car per sa..

This shot is interesting. The interior looks like its a beige (car on the left). Im hoping its leather...
