Default IS200T Slow Build



It’s a slow build in process, so far it’s has a Stage 2 Tune Thanks to TTI, Green Calipers with silver Lexus decals (Hulk Fan), And tinted windows a must in Desert of NM.

Next is getting RSR Lowering Springs installed In couple weeks once buddy is finished with current jobs in shop. Hopefully close gap at least an inch on front and rear.

Will post more pictures next couple days have to retake.

Do have a question on whether yes or no on Oakley decal on rear window? I’ll post picture of Oakley decal I’m contemplating over.

Brush Painted and was an all day project.

How noticeable was the TTi tune in throttle response and the downshift delay?

the response is noticeably improved but the ECU has some limitations that Tony from TTI is working on. It’s very enjoyable to drive once you get going, your not going to be beating a GT Mustang but it’s fun to drive. I’m not pushing for TTI but looks like they might be close to unlocking some restrictions we have on IS200T.
You can look up IS200T Tune 3IS forum that Sheddy started and there’s a lot of information that is helpful. Just depends on budget and if you purchased or lease the IS200T to determine what you want to do to your car.

Definite no on the decal. Tacky as heck.

Calipers look like you did a good paint job. nice.
