Hello everyone, Quite a while ago a thread was started here by someone, discussing my Swedish IS200. I replied in that thread, but since then I haven't had time to answer all the questions asked. I'll do that as soon as I can :thumbup: Anyway, I've modified my car a bit more. The supercharger kit arrived and I fitted it a few weeks ago. It pulls perfectly which is great, but it makes a noise that I'm not too sure about. It's like a whistling noise, only present in revs below 3000 rpm. I've tested a lot of things and my conclusion is that the sound is coming from within the supercharger unit itself or possible the pulley. I've managed to find another kit here in Sweden and I will borrow the supercharger to see if it's quiet, but first I thought I'd let you hear what I mean and maybe identify the noise. Cheers :) Two short videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcxXukahCbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS-TbeZ2-5w A few pics of my car:

Greetings my fellow Lexus colleagues ;) I recently stumbled upon this thread and I thought I might say hello. First of all I must admit that I hardly understand any German, but Google Translate helped me get a pretty good idea of what’s written here. Thank you for your nice comments, guys. I’m almost finished with the exterior of the car and I agree with you that the rear looked rubbish. I’ve now added a TRD rear skirt, painted in silver and black to match the rest of the car’s theme. Regarding the rear lights, I ordered new ones a couple of months ago, from the US. However, the first set I received was the wrong kind. Fortunately I managed to find a buyer here in Sweden, so I could order a new set. This time I received the correct ones, but one of the leds was broken. I decided to just return these ones and red tint the lights that are currently fitted to the car. This is the result: My carbon fiber bonnet is not yet painted, only test fitted and edited in photoshop. The picture below shows how it will look when it’s painted and permanently fitted, only the silver color match will be better. My Legana bumper is indeed a replica. I bought it as a temporary solution until I find a second hand original one. The fog lights are genuine ones from Toyota Japan: The TRD side skirts are yet to be added. I will probably fit them in a few weeks, along with my summer wheels and a lowering kit. The main upgrade I’m waiting for is a brand new TTE kompressor kit, bought from a member of this forum. I’m a bit concerned, though. I paid for it almost a month ago and I haven’t heard anything from the seller for the last two weeks. I don’t mind waiting for it as the roads are still icy, but it would be nice to know what the status is :thumbup: Anyway, thanks again for showing interest in what I’ve done. Please feel free to ask me anything in any language. As I mentioned earlier, Google Translate gives me rough translations that I can interpret. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Patrik Lindblom, Schweden
