Is this some kind of Honda owner forum 'in joke' that steve_vtec1986 thought would be amazing for the lulz.

Not sure I like them enough to spend a few hundred on a number plate though

Drop in the ocean compared to what I’ve spent on cars over the years.

Sometimes I love OcUK motors.

It's a shame that the only thing most people love more than cars is shooting others down at any opportunity. :rolleyes:

Took the grandad wagon out for a drive to a little known lane near my parents!

I aint not photographer and was aware that someone could have come over the crest at any moment....

Having those lights on really detracts from what is otherwise a nice photo.

Huh... I really like that in red. Nice pics.

It really was just a get out snap snap and get back in I didn't really think to much about it. I may go back one day for some better pictures.

£500 car + £1000 engine = £5000... Hmm... Lol

Also no 1UZ has 300HP. The engine is only rated at 290 and most of them only make 270~.

But, turbo would see decent power, and not that costly to do?

Weirdly I quite like the idea of a Mk1 IS200 with a V8.

For a turbo build you'd ideally want the earlier non VVTI 1UZ.

MrKnifey · 3 Oct 2019 at 07:23

Im sure theres someone building an IS200 with VVTI 1UZ with a Turbo on Retro Rides.. Think its a VERY tight squeeze

Acme talking sense?

Who are you and what have you done with Acme??????

skaif · 3 Oct 2019 at 09:20

Just found the thread - turns out the same dude who built that V8 IS200 is the one doing the turbo build! Looks like he sold it a few years ago to fund a house purchase and is now back being a nutter.

Small world eh?

Uncle_Gravy · 3 Oct 2019 at 10:57

It'll be mental when completed, I love the old shape IS cars more than the more modern stuff, and it should be much lighter than a GS/LS as well as having a manual box and LSD if its the IS200 Sport?
