Yeah man, shes a little beaut i had a few doubts when i was cleaning her as to weather i would have to respray some of the panels or not, but she has come up trumps! and the fact that i can't see a single ding down the side of the car is a bonus!!!!

Keep looking at those pics and thinking maybe i should get some tech-1 skirts, think the black line needs painting red though, looks a bit out of place now.

Mate that is steller! Nice result, thats one cheap iS. Looks very clean. Great cars, had a lot of fun in mine:D

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 11:22 am

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 9:07 pm

thanks everyone! i love my car, the next things that i will do is lower the car ans put an exhaust on her!

Does anyone know of a supplier of a stainless exhaust system for an iS?

Thanks.

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 9:16 pm

the only ones that do stainless stell exhausts for an IS are superspint and sebring mate

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 10:00 pm

Are they any good mate, as i was thinking of getting one fabricated!!!

Just when i had my last iS there wass't any out there that would do a full system!!!

Post Sun Sep 04, 2005 10:00 pm

I was speaking to another iS owner at Gaydon, he got a company called CA Automotive (I think!) to import one from Germany but cost him Ãƒ”šÃ‚£400 which I thought a little steep but it was sweet as.

Sweet ride, welcome to iS glory! Love the side skirts, was wondering what would suit mine and I think now I know!

You is one luck b**ger for getting such a sweet ride for such little money.

Me too i dont think that i would use Powerflow! too much bad publicity for my liking!

There is a bloke that would do a system for me but again its at a price of something like Ãƒ”šÃ‚£500! not sure yet, is the supersprint full stainless thought it was mild steel!! and do you know of anyone who has had one what are they like?

cheers mate

Post Mon Sep 05, 2005 7:16 pm

Found it, now I hope I have got this right or I'll look a bit of a twat but I picked up a card from the show for CA automotive but never got the chance to check with the guy if it is the same firm.
