my mates just told me he has got a Lexus is200 at 210bhp! and he will smoke my mk4 1.8T
iv just said, there only 150bhp standard how is it 210bhp??
his replay, its been cammed and chipped!
Really? 210bhp?
hmmmmmmmm... :huh:
-
You sure he hasnt got an import model as there was a jap spec one that made roughly what he is saying? If it aint an import then he is probably full of it but just check how many cylinders the engine has, the powerfull version is a four banger and the UK spec one is an inline six.
-
Sounds believable enough to me.
-
Yamaha tuned 3S-GE 4 cylinder motor 210bhp, jap spec.
-
my cars faster than yours
no its not
yes it is
no its not
blah blah blah.
:rolleyes: get a grip!
-
lol 'get a grip!' hes always been one to try an show off an race ppl..
im not even arsed, im happy with what iv got..
plus, i didnt even realise there was a 210bhp version?
the only is200's iv herd about are the inline 6 153bhp versions!
but im guessing there gunna be more expensive than the standard model?
the reason i dont believe him is because he picked it up for buttons and is currently driving a 998cc corsa b with 6points on his licence at 21 so surely he wudnt be able to get insured! even if he could he wouldnt be able to insure it!
-
unless he's actually got a lexus is250 v6 4GR-FSE 205 BHP :grin:
but cannot read :laugh: :laugh:
-
The only thing road racing gets you these days is a day in court.
-
haha iv just read that the rs200 toyota altezza is the 210bhp version.. ill ask him an see... then i can laff when he tells me its the lexus straight 6!
-
Its ok having the horses but how heavy is the lexus compared to the mk4? :wink:
work out the power to weight ratios of both cars,
but as above, find a private road or somthing or else you will both be walking to work :grin:
-
yer the mk4's are about 100kg's lighter so better power/weight ratio with a re-map plus the mk4's hav slightly more torque over the standard 153bhp so will once re-map'd aswell compared to the 210bhp i imagine
-
lexus straght six will sound better :cool:

And the drive is at the right end!!

Down to the driver end of the day.
Mates Berlingo 1.9HDI is pretty nippy, had that in a genuinely private road in a straight line in my 1.6 just to see what was quicker as you do when you're 18/17. Van is quicker but he kept pulling away then as we all know diesel torque is down low and runs out of revs so I had him.
Swapped vehicles and I had him in the van changing up earlier and keeping on boost.
Yeah OK, I'm just bragging but meh.
