IS200 manual sports-luxury - comes with an LSD

Slug off the lights, but once its running and you throw some corners it's a sweet car, just be prepared to shift lots - the close ratio 6 speed needs to be worked to get the most out of the engine.

Handles, brakes and rides well.

1g-fe sounds awesome at high RPMs

Economical and easy to park.

Requires a diet of 95RON+

Fun car + some luxury bits if you are into that stuff.

I'm biased though :P

this thread is pretty awesome. just sayin..

oh and i drive an R33 i paid 9k for 3 yrs ago, apparently worth 6-7k now even with all my mods. Probably best bang for buck in terms of performance (though some of the civics,non del sol CRX are nearly as fast) but its a thirsty beast. Im lucky to get 400kms out of a 60litre tank :(

oh and a Xalmon on these here forums just bought a manual Soarer he likes very much, again though turbo, heavy and probably quite thirsty.

As much as i hate to side with the FWD crowd if your after fuel economy they are hard to beat...

Lol- As soon as i saw the letters FWD being spoken of negatively, i knew it would only be a matter of time before warps chimed in. I swear he must have a cold chill come down his spine whenever fwd is mentioned!

To the op, i think the thread has come up with some awesome suggestions, just a matter of preference.

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
