You can request these for your car in japan, they are translucent so light can shine through from behind them, making them glow. I think they are called jiko-shiki plates.

Benny doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to jam out to some jazz funk, but the music on this vid proves I am wrong.

Amazing how you keep true to your own style with loads of great tech info and tips! 👍

Liking the music in this episode especially much, kudos to the editor!

I'm gonna be there next week, so keen!!

Been a minute ! Nice to see you bouncing back with the car videos. The mods so far are so clean and I'm jealous and excited for your Altezza videos!

Thanks Benny for another great video on the IS200, I'm starting to look for one now! :D

Benny, i'm absolutely stoked to to have come across your channel. Great video content. Its great to see your first drift session, you did a great job. Keep up the good work mate.

Nice to know Benny with the taper, thanks bro. 👍 I think you just saved me a good amount of time taking the front hubs and struts out on the Crustida tomorrow. 🙏 Thank God I found a solution from a local Aussie company (not dba, still pissed at them!! 🤬) after all the failures I had with brakes last week so all systems go now. 👍😎

awesome job! wish we had tracks like this where I live.

I love that light up plate.

If you could do a video on deleting/bypassing the fake e-throttle that comes standard on these cars that would be excellent.

Congrats m8, welcome to the stantz club

Good tip on those steering arms thanks Benny!

Loving this build mate

Stancey 🔥 did the same on my bmw couldn't even make it out shop it was so low lol, great build/viddy

Another tip: add woodblocks (2×4) under the tires when lowering so you could pull the jack out 👌🏽

thanks for the tip on the spring part number, i was not aware of that

Keen for more is200!

That led number plate is sick !

Great Job, it looks Mad Now.

Mannn I love these. One day I’ll own one. Nice vid Benny

You guys need to come to canada in the winter, you would get 50x better at drifting just by going to the shops!

Love my 5 speed IS300!!! So cool to see one wrenched on. Throttle response is horrendous though. No heel toe action because it’s so slow to rev.

Mad progress. Would be mega keen to see a Beams turbo conversion done with quad throttles, haltech and big injection setup!

Yea raise a bit 4 sure, btw LOVE the soundtracks!!

So much love for the Volk Racing IIIs!!!!

jeez that bluetooth grinder guard hurts my feelings -- good technical episode tho, always a good day to learn more about suspension geometry

So the main question is, when are you dropping in a 1UZ engine Benny? my mate in N.Ireland makes a gearbox adaptor for you can keep the IS200 six-speed, popular conversion here in Ireland

Wow, DOHC V8s fit in these things? I have been thinking about how interesting it would be to swap a Ford DOHC 4.6 in an IS, or a Coyote 5.0l. The stock Mustang MT82 would probably be a better trans choice than a gigantic T56/TR6060, that and I really like the 1:1 5th/single OD 6-speed setup of the MT82. REALLY want to do that swap(if the DOHC Fords aren't wider than the the UZs anyway), ideally with a Haltech Elite, limited slip out back, stick a Ground Control setup in the wheel wells, have a nice daily/drift/dick around car. Could even stick a centrifugal blower on it down the road, make an EASY 600+ wheel with a unique swap. That said, I REALLY want to see the Tundra 5.7l swapped into some stuff, I don't think I've ever actually seen one swapped yet.

Lower center of gravity means nothing unless you are traveling at 150+ MPH. I hate the low/stanced scene, because it's mostly idiots running around ruining the way their suspension/steering works. All just for "cool points". Screw cool points, you look like a dumbass with your side skirts and bumpers scraping the curb every time you enter/exit a concrete ramp.

U should do a cool little thing like supercharging the engine with a Mercedes supercharger before u swapping it

Add some braided brake lines so the rubber ones don't blow a hole in them just so it saves time and money. Plus get some slotted rotors for heat anticipation front and rear as its props better then stock ones

biggest thing i learnt about coilovers/suspension set ups is: its all about being compliant to the surface its being used on. I.e hardest isnt always better.

@@BennysCustomWorks so there are a few different ways people do it, I think its based on what model year you have (even though they had same engine etc). I'd get a spare throttle body or two if you can. Essentially you need to disconnect the little 'arm' that connects the two throttles, and then stick some weld on the main bit where the actual butterfly valve is so when you pull the cable the valve actually does something. Disconnect the rest sensor (the white plug that looks different to the 2 TPS sensors). and then you can either keep the secondary throttle fully on (as if at 100% tps) or fully shut (will need experimentation).

Does it have a lsd in it? It looked like it was either being unpredictable (not always locking or open wheeling) or it was just open wheeling the whole time. A good lsd or welded diff should make it more predictable

Same here. I put 30mm Eibach lowering springs in my Mazda 3 BK to make the look work better with the original 17" wheels and everyone was like "Why only 30 mm?". And I said: "Do you even drive on these roads? Everything else would be suicide!" Before that, I had a Mercedes 190E (W201) with a -40mm Eibach/Bilstein combo (I bought it that way) and that was too low to even get to the Mercedes dealer. And then my brother-in-law put a 100mm lowering suspension in his Audi 100 Avant (Type 44) and he regretted it about two days down the line. It did look kinda cool, but there was barely any suspension travel left and you had to anticipate every bump and every pothole. This is no fun... He barely drove it until after 3 month he got so sick of it that he ripped it out without having a replacement ready :D That being said: Lowering springs are kind of fine as long as you have only 20 or 30mm of lowering. Even with the 30mm now, I kind of wished I had also bought shorter shocks. Not that I have any problems, just to ease my mind.

@@ryleyjoynson31 It didn't really change all that much. I did change the shocks for new (stock) ones and replaced the top strut mounts so I couldn't compare it directly. But I'd say about as much as switching from 16" to 17" inch rims. So it's a bit firmer but not harsh at all. Where I live, the streets aren't really well maintained but I have no regrets changing to lowering springs.

Benny can list or link the angle mods you did.. the car is coming up dope

If you want a car that drives nicely, raise it up 40-50mm from the spring adjusters, not from the lower housing adjuster. That way you will have proper shock movement, because the way the car is set-up now it rides at the top of the shocks, not allowing any wheel drop. Also if you can cut the camber on all sides and get as close to 0 in the back. This will make the car feel when starting the drift a lot more progressive.

Great vid benny! I would suggest getting a ford barra turbo inline six , they can make great power reliably and there pretty abundant in australia.basicly the 2jz of australia.(i dont think you would need like thousand horsepower but they are very reliable

@Dutub2000

5 жыл бұрын

There are lots of factors that affect throttle response. On the fuel side, make sure that the pump works as it should (eventually upgrade), fuel filter is fresh, you could go for better quality (stiffer) fuel lines, make sure the injectors are up to scratch. Also clean spark plugs help. As well as cold air intake, uprated throttle, intake manifold (ITB is not easy, but probably the best bet) as well as good headers and exhaust. All the engine mods obviously have to be matched correctly and tuned accordingly. A tune in itself might work too. Basically "throttle response" is how rapidly you can pump air and fuel through the engine.

@aDaWaN

I think it cannot be fixed easily, as the IS200 has the throttle blade controlled by the ECU.

I still dream of owning a hoist

What rca+camber blocks are these?

When you measur and adjust your ride height, do you need to factor in the weight of the driver on your driver's side or does that no come into play?

Barra swapped is200?

1JZ will probably be the best bet for the IS200 when you get to that point, then just get the IS300 engine-mounts from the 2JZ for it

Aren't these all autos? Is there a gearbox conversion coming up?

So a 1uz swap is it?

Roll centre moves down when you lower a car, not up, and it moves down much further than the centre of gravity does, this acts to increase roll couple and the body rolling force exerted by the vehicles weight in cornering. This is why it is a bad thing, a work around for cars where roll centre correction is difficult is to fit a stiffer swaybay on lower ride heights but this reduces independence in the suspension

Barra!

Always roll the car out after installing coilovers to let the geometry settle before measuring and adjusting ride height. Avoids hotboi stance mishaps. Also, if you are planning on drifting, rear lower then front, and those spring rates are waaaaaay too stiff. Drifting generally 30% stiffer then factory, if underpowered go 50% in the rear. Heavy springs won't absorb suspension geometry change on transitions and will make the car super twitchy. Just food for thought... ✌
