Great video, haven’t seen anything like this about is200’s only is300’s 👍

[@RebelClassics]

Thanks man! ~Adrian

"While they were still cheap" No kidding, I was going to buy one in 2018, got something else instead and now I want one again they've skyrocketed. Kept thinking my fire alarm was low on battery with that beeping.

[@RebelClassics]

They go for silly money now! This fire alarm is haunting us for ages now, I've bought new battery for it few months back but it's in such an awkward spot ... let's be honest, I've got to sort it ;D ~ Bob

[@ianhill9352]

Can’t beat Marc’s brake kit had mine on for years and love them

[@rubyroux]

nice video, looking for a first project car and the is200 might be it

[@user-rh5ul6dd3o]

Nice

[@LilKapsasBeats]

Damn great quality video, damn shame that this only has 1.8k views

[@RebelClassics]

Thanks, 1.8k for now but we are growing and have more in the pipeline!

This is the first video I've seen from your channel and just clicked on your website and I'm 20mins away from you guys. Might be getting a phone call for some work on my is200 👍

[@RebelClassics]

Welcome to the community! Best way to reach us is indeed over the phone & our Facebook page @RebelClasscisUK as we are still in the early days of our KZbin adventure thus aren't always on here :) ~Adrian

[@julescorreia2494]

What is that turbo kit you are showing and talking about (that are 3k from what I understood) ? I’m considering buying one since they are still kinda cheap here but can’t find anything but very basic cheap supercharger kits...

[@jochemvangalen9464]

I am actually thinking of getting one or a gs300 but that one doesnt come with a manual

[@user-rh5ul6dd3o]

Shame there is none around my local area who can weld properly or anything. They can't even refurb a brake caliper. Or even do a decent respray.

[@chrisibangbang3305]

nice vid dude im thinking about to add some power to my 200 too, my heart says turbo, but I heard its not that great for the engine, bc mainly the power curve. U have any opinion on that if a turbo really is worse than a supercharger on the 1g?( in terms ofd reliability)

[@alexanderdanielsson6049]

as far as u tune the car great its ok, just not to much torque down low and try to make peak power as high in rev range as possible and u will be safe

[@rhysbb2101]

Awesome video! I’m thinking of turbo my is200 but it’s auto

[@RebelClassics]

Do it! It will definitely be worth the effort :D

[@JasonSmith-lq6pl]

New subscriber here, I bought my first is200 for £750 did nothing but strip it, steering wheel and welded auto diff sold it for £1k my current is200 is a base model s which I searched for a long time for because they're lighter, no sunroof/elec seats etc. I paid £800 for it and I have custom bc racing coilovers 18kf 14kr which cost more than the car lol I'm running 17" jr11's on 235/45 square setup on advan ao50's and eBay short shifter. I'm going rankone turbo with a custom setup i.e. bigger fmic, 3" down pipe and 1kcc injectors. My ball ache is either ikengineering rods and pistons or tdinorths bottom end because I want over 350whp.

[@RebelClassics]

You can get around 340 hp with decompression head gasket, on stock rods! ~ Bob

[@JasonSmith-lq6pl]

@@RebelClassics yeah I've had a look into them, alot of polish 1gfe turbo use them and there's one website that engineers them for 240euros. I've done quite abit of research into the 1gfe.👍

[@jose_s_bam7938]

@@JasonSmith-lq6pl you should put all that research on paper for all the curious people out there!

[@dekifecharles7637]

Hey quick question How much boost is best suited if I turbocharged my 1Gfe on stock internals?.

[@bradleyadams5167]

1ggte internals are the go if you can get your hands on some because buying forged is insanely expensive

[@josephjenkins7360]

Cool accent, even cooler car

[@madmaniacloony]

Would the supercharger whine cover up the whining gearbox mine has ?

[@RebelClassics]

100%, it's loud!

[@cottard7698]

The stock suspension 'boaty'?! Well, I've test driven an IS200 last saturday and thought to myself 'hey, this thing is stiff!' But then again, I come from MB W124 & Volvo S60 so .. :D

[@RebelClassics]

I've got two W123 in the shed - those are pure butter ;D But it might be a matter of expectations - I wanted the IS to be sportier! ~ Bob

[@brightonmoto2146]

You got a link for the brembo kit?

[@brightonmoto2146]

Nice build✌🏼

[@tattoodfreeek]

Great car...... Can't make out if that accent is Welsh or scandiwegian/German......?? But still, great car

[@robytakluem2197]

Did you change the transmission as well?

[@RebelClassics]

No, kept the j160 in, It's a good gearbox and can take even more than that ;) ~ Bob

[@robytakluem2197]

@@RebelClassics cheers mate

[@alexanderdanielsson6049]

what does stock is200 manual transmission handle ?

[@fxxc777]

Should take around 300hp

[@kkiwirocks]

this is for sale right now isn't it?

[@RebelClassics]

It isn't, maybe someone tries to scam people, have you got the link? ~ Bob

[@kkiwirocks]

@@RebelClassics link's dead, saw it yesterday on carparking as I started looking for one and wanting one so bad lol. after I went through all the IS200s for sale in Europe, I looked up videos on the car and thought it to be extremely familiar

[@MasteG46]

1300 turbo kit doesn't sound really reliable

[@zinzan76]

How much £££ did you end up spending on all these mods?

[@RebelClassics]

I did all of the labour myself and most of the parts were gathered over about a year - that's difficult to say ;D ~ Bob
