Just bought a Black on Black t-shirt! can't wait for it to arrive! love your videos!

Thank you so much! Very honest and enthusiast focused review! I don't care about luggage space. Perfect!

Sport versions have a Torsen LSD, it is the way to go, they are quite frequent too. Locks when you wanna skid and does not hop around when you turn. Don't weld the diff.

great tip for the youngsters on the insurance price and maintenance costs. it's a bit of a pain, but I love my IS3 after mods.

They are great little cars especially when they are done up and the noise is just something else

The grey top is nice man might need to pick one up

Hi mate I'd just like to congratulate you on the channel. I am in the market for a new cheap performance motor and I stumbled across your review on the fiesta st. I had one a good few years ago and really loved it. I really like the civics and was wondering what you would recommend as a daily driver I don't mind age but would like some sort of reliability. I watched your video on the 2k price range but I currently have about 4k to spend I was wondering if you had a video lined up to help people in that price bracket. Cheers Matt

What have you done to the exhaust? Sounds great and i want mine to sound just like yours. Great vid as always!

Great video mate your nearly as bad as me product placement love it keep them coming 😉

I cant wait to have one of these

the sport has a lsd on it that's the main difference

I've been looking at getting one of these. Cheap motor to have a laugh in and rag about.

love your vids

Jamie_FYD could you try reviewing a octavia vrs

i have 2.0 sportcross. I love this car

you should have got a solid flywheel when replacing the clutch, would be a great simple upgrade for a car like this

You can tell this video was 5 years ago the price now is mad

Any chance of a golf gti/R review anytime soon? Would love to see one!! :3

a dislike just for going on and on about crap looking t-shirts lol

Keep the hearing aid brown interior, dark metallic green and dark grey 5 spokes, maybe even a set of bola's??

Would you do a long fit polo, like the Ralph Lauren style?

lets get a video of you messing about in the lexus but from outside the car aswell as inside :)

Arctic White, though pain in the ass to clean, but i'd say the easiest color to spray with rattle cans and still look good.

I have a light blue (8n6) is200 sport.the sports have a lad diff in them and some other bits.i love them.best car I have had and I dive the shit out of it.i have had it for 3 years now and I will be turboing the car next

its hard finding these in manual unmolested in america

How much did you get the car for? Also it's not the base model because it has sunroof and half leather seats, I believe it's the SE. Watch out for rust on rear arches from the sunroof drain

yup insurance is mad for younger drivers(not so much the age but experience/ncd really) say in my case it'd still be over 2k to insure! where as things like 350z etc are 1600 - in high crime london postcode mind.

The true Irish car lads

For the price equipment and 170bhp I'd go for a BMW e46 320ci mines put plenty smiles on my face in the wet but it's all done to personal preference.

So I'm young. Mazda Mx5, BMW 318I any others to think about buying for a racey/drift car??

I’m torn about getting one atm. And I think I’m now sold. Plus it’s an inline 6 😅😅

This dude daily drives a welded diff wow Must be brave.. 😁

what are the best and cheapest cars to mod for a first car respond in the next video

Would be nice if you could get your hands on a JDM Altezza to review. :D

i had one of these and one thing i had concerns about is when the engine was turned off their was only enough reserved vaccum pressure in the brake pedal for 2 pumps on the brake pedal and no more and the manual stated this. if the engine failed that could be dangerous if you pumped the brake pedal twice there would be no more reserved vaccum in the pedal.

why are you doing this to me jamie??? now I want an is200!

I love these cars and most older cars in general. Older cars have so much individual character, they're not recycled boring garbage and most of them have a shitty toxic diesel engine in them. For the same sort of money you can get a BMW 318i or a mazda MX-5 1.8, both are basically 2L engines and they're a little lighter that the IS200 but just like that IS200, they're rear wheel drive too so great for skids if you're still a big kid for stuff like that =P Good video except for the t shirt rambling. Take care

What's your average MPG on this? I'm getting my IS200 tomorrow going all the way from Strathaven to Falkirk to collect it, I've gotthe insurance paid off (monthly installments but I'm able to afford the price of 169 per month) I'm 20 years old, moved to the uk in 2016 when I was 17 alone lmao have a Golf 4 1.4l rn as my second car, had a 1.6l golf as a first till the clutch and suspension went (not my fault i swear!) ALSO!!!! It's LPG converted meaning it'll cost me 54 pence per Litre to fill up although it'll get 20% less mpg it'll still save me money instead of petrol, so if anyone can tell me their average that would be great as I'm reading 20mpg and 35mpg (which is a big difference when you're filling up all the time haha )

do you have many rs200 altezzas where you are? with the 3sge 4 cylinder beams engine that have 55+ more hp

ill be buyin one of them t shirts in a min

sport has drilled pedals colour keyed steering wheel and modified suspension

do you think the is200 would be good for sliding about if the diff wasnt welded?

I’ve got a IS200 as my daily, factory lsd, 6 speed, sunroof, all the features. Anyway these things are so slow. They handle a corner well but you need to keep it in the last couple thousand rpm to get it to move. A ford laser is faster off the line unless you drop the clutch at 5k

Looked at insuring one for my second car at 18, the insurance is only around £1300. Which isn't that bad considering it's like £950 for a 1.2 Corsa D. :)

Cheap to run? hahaha it's thirsty, very thirsty. I spend most of my time filling mine up

I can’t tell if mines an lsd. It’s an se but was told last owner put an lsd in it, both wheels lock up on burnouts and stuff but sometimes it acts like an open diff. It’s not welded that I know.

you should do a dc2 review

Hi Jamie I saw you in sainsburys on my scooter yellow t shirt! Can I meet u at joshes next to aristo Saturday 21st at 10ish

How much would it be on average for an 18 year old to insure do you think?

Great review there. I was abit shocked to hear you only get 28mpg, that's rubbish for a 2.0 car? Mind you is that figure based on you driving it like you did during the video? If so then 28mpg is not bad.

Would you recommend one of these for a first car, Jamie? I got a quote for £1200 fully comp *without* a black box (I'm 20 years old and had my license for three years in September). My quotes for your usual Corsa or Astra 1.6/1.8 are about £1100

a gs300 wasn't too much difference from my Ibiza diesel kind of regret not buying my brothers off him

God I love that

my dad used to have a blue is200

The sport model has the LSD :D

how about reviewing an mr2?

Miss the old fyd! :(

I love this car but worse thing is lack of centre armrest ahahaa

The Sport has a lsd as standard!

The sport has an lsd and usually nicer kit

There slightly better on insurance than a 2.0 e46 and a few other BMW s so I think it's average expensive

Is this a gas guzzling 2 litre?

the is200 is good for the money

last year i want have a is200 or is300 but Now i bought an 2003 E39 lol

How is to drive a welded diff cross country? I mean corners, not motorways. Does it oversteer in long highspeed corners? What about driving in the rain?

Great video. I'm sure this is a lot of car for the money you pay but for very young drivers, would you say a Fiat Panda 1.4 100hp would be cheaper considering its insurance costs and the fun you would potentially get? I heard they ride like shit because of their stiff suspension and they're tiny so i'm not sure if they would be safe in a crash compared to the IS200 lol Keep up the good work

for younger people wanting a cheap to insure daily drifter imo an e36 touring 316/8 converted to a m50/m52 and if you "forget" to declare the engine that's the cheapest way to run a rwd in the uk, these are bargains though

I don't get it.. If you had a 1.8 mk2 mx5 made in the same year as an is200. The mx5 only has a few less Hp than the IS right? So why do people as ways call the mx5 slow ?

I'm looking into the IS200 and I was just wondering if it's worth keeping the stock 2L Inline-6 and build that or swap it for a 3S-GTE. Is it a good idea (knowing the 3S-GTE can make 700ps when built) to do so since some Japanese Altezzas came with 3S-GEs or no? (Also, a quote came to around £1500 for me. I'm 19 with 1 year NCB and I've been driving since 2017.)

It's the JennaJulien DINKDINK song!

Wot are theses like on fuel

Thought u didnt like the colour

make a gold vinyl

How did he make the 6 sound like a "fart can" thats a first

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the IS200 was released with an LSD?

+ Jamie_fyd what made you get into modified car reviews and also shout out for me on your Next vid haha. nice vids as always =]

I don't mind the car tbh, my dad just got a volvo s60 2.0 with 180bhp heated full leather interior AC every thing works and does 135mph and cost £350!

+Jamie_FYD YOU Should get a new exhaust

I think the IS Sport had an LSD!

Sport version is lower, has LSD, has some cosmetic differences.

I like rockstar but it gives me chest pains

what do you think the insurance would be for a 17 year old un the uk

1998 740i

It's disappointing that all of the powerful models of the Lexus that have RWD and would be good drifters are automatic in the UK.

Do really like your buying habits, you take advantage of these cheap cars which are cheap because they are so expensive to run. S*it on them and then sell it on before it breaks.

It's a nice car but in my opinion you need to boost it

Ain't to bad to insure my mate got a is200 given to him, by his dad 700-800 to insure for his fist car and he's 20 yo. 😀😀

only driven the auto. Sloow. one stage had both an is200 and e46 325ci, think the lexus is the better car in many ways.

Supercharge it!

Daily drifter but not 1 drift in this video

You should meet up with blackpanthaa and his IS200

At least it looks better than Theo/blackpanthaa

Lexus IS basically the Japanese version of Mercedes. Nice looking but shitting expensive

another cheap motor has to be the Mitsubishi gallant you can pick up a hell off a lot of car for well under a grand

i"ve had bmw"s but the i.s is so much better,

Change the muffler!

why weld the diff its a torsen diff so its not necessary!?
