32 - old timer :( but - 'cos I'm so old and been running my own business for years - means I can afford a Lex! (IS 200 now - GS 430 next - maybe <_< )

Of course! You can put them in The Gallery B)

next thing I have to do is paint my calipers and put some Lexus stickers on them. not very glamourous I know :( but my calipers are corroding quite badly, and really let down the look of the car

check cool car mats let them know you are a member of LOC ;)

Eibachs :P

Another collection of body kits for you guys B) Exhaustive list of Lexus GS / Toyota Aristo Body Kits some beautiful examples on there B)

how do you know when your car has a lot of power? when you are smokin' the tyres on a dyno? dyno run ever seen a car do a wheelie? drag strip footage nice stuff!

New picture of the 2005 Supra! hadn't seen this one before. still think it has a lot of TVR in it - although the back end in this shot looks Porsche - y. front end looks different to the shots I had seen before. Previous pictures had the front looking very much like the Vanquish- this doesn't. still - looks good to me!

sorry matey - didn't realise. :P

Not voted (obviously :P ) but waiting this thread carefully <_<

Hey hkgs300! :D bunch of link about chipping an IS none of them indicate that this is a cost effective solution - the majority opinion being that this powerchip offers very little performance increase for the money. This link in particular discusses the powerchip

is this a Hong Kong "280bhp"? isn't it illegal to make cars with more power than that - so Skylines et al are sold as "280 bhp"?

well its about time! you've only been hassling everyone who mentions them here and on LOC UK! :P :P :P well done matey - you'll be glad you did it ;)

Mixed EBC pads and disks at the front. Lexus standard at the rear. Voted EBC - as the front does the majority of the braking :D would I recommend them - yup! paid £200 (UK) for front disks and pads.

One of our American moderators has kindly collated a load of body kits for the IS / 'tezza. What do you think of these? Lexus IS / Toyota Altezza Body Kits B)

there won't be a production one :( Mat C has driven it in Germany - and I'm looking forward to having a sit in it at JAE!!! :D :D :D

you'll look good in that buddy ;)

I'm in the UK - from Liverpool originally. as for the car - not done much, and its all in the sig ;)

this is a very common problem on IS's. Hate to tell you to go search on the UK forums - so I have done it for you! all the topics on UK Lexus Owners Club regarding IS CD ERR3 problem ;) basically, what you will find is that it is a common problem, which is covered by the warranty. In the UK, the warranty has been extended to 4 years for the stereo - because of this exact problem. How old is your car?

SSML - I am in the UK mate - I sourced them from a UK company. I did not get stoppers with them - what are these stoppers for? Drove 220 miles last night, ride was not that much harsher at all. Couldn't hear any noise, but will keep an ear out ;) Matt - get them fitted mate - they make an immediate difference to the handling of the car - very sweet :D

nice one Mat :D whats the difference between the L-Tuned ones and Eibachs? only difference I could see in the picture was that the Ltuned were light blue just had my Eibachs fitted. For comparison I paid 410.551 NZD for the springs themselves (£148) and 391.133 for the fitting (£141). The fitting included a full tracking as well B)

nice one AK - not too shady at all!

what on?

if anyone has a full list of the dealers, name, address, email address etc - can they let me have it please? I will then install our dealer review system (link to UK dealer reviews for example) on this site.
