In the U.S. the IS' didnt come out until 01

I dont think anyone has converted their IS to a RHD. I would like convert mine into a RHD, but I think its cheaper to import one

It's a two litre VVTI Beams engine.Manual puts out 210 BHP (stock) and the auto 200-205 BHP (stock).I'm running a Apexi power intake,Apexi pod setup with Apexi cold air induction box.

This is the setup under the box.

no need for a heat sheild there? i've wanted to do an intake for a while but it seems like everytime i start investigating i need a heat sheild or the set up wont fit, or i'll have water issues (it rains a lot here) ... but that intake set up looks nice and simple

Just get an SRT intake w/o piggyback and get yourself an EMU or SAFC II. Youll be set
