Hey fellow Altezza Club Members;
My name is Brian and have just recently joined the club. 1st car i've owned was a purple Honda integra dc2 which was purchased at the beginning of 2007. After parting with it last month i decided to get something more comfortable yet still maintaining that driving feel. And initially something that would prevent me from pumping soo much money and time into. I was scouting the market for either an Accord Euro or a LEX is200. After a test drive in the Lexus and having a look at pictures on the forums i was convinced that this is want i wanted. Within three weeks i managed to find myself a 2001 silver sports/lux with relatively low kms and a good service history for a price i was happy with. within a week i had started looking for parts again. Parts i've ordered within the last week include: JDM Chrome Altezza Grill Vision Auto Works short carbon Antenna Altezza Mats Altezza Visors Front and rear Elegance Lips Chrome Replaceable Door handles Tein Comfort Sports Coils SSR SP1 Professors 18inch 8 +35 Front and 9 +35 Rears WTB list include: OEM GPS housing Cusco Sway Bars Tein EDFC Bride Seat Rails Lex Carbon Steering wheel Camber kit My aim is to cleanly mod the car for the vip look without it being sex spec and setting it up to handle. hope to see you guys around. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Altezza Grill on: ![]() ![]() Thanks for the Visors Steve ![]() ![]() Antenna Installed LOL |

oh wow!, small world hey
Rims should look good! , i had my guards rolled , there's a bit of camber but nothing over the top. I still scrub on medium/larger bumps though, full lock going over a dip or bump can be painful aswell |

Welcome in Brian- That DC2 looks like it really meant business... I'm afraid the Lexus is chalk and cheese in comparison. Mind you, there is still plenty of scope for pouring money into suspension!

Does the blower make a big difference? And is yours auto or manual? It looks great with the SSRs, too. Brilliant offset.

my car is manual so the air box is kind of in the way of the cluch cylinder, i think it's because the tte is made for LHD cars. kits arn't produced anymore, so best bet is too keep scouting online. i got mine from a guy in ireland. nunga :> sorry mate don't know how to multiquote. power is a lot better then stock, picks up a lot quicker then stock. not crazy amounts of power but enough for the street imo. the power kind of feels like that of a stock s15. Thanks for the comments guys. |
