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 <_< )

Is there a place where we can post some photos? :o

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

All i want are a set of blue "aristo" matts thats all i want in the world :o

I have been looking now for nearly a year with no luck.

If you see any i will trade my soul!

Cheers

Allan.

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!

thanks for your reply. I have seen the links, I am also registered for the UK Forum :P

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

The Chaser Tourer V has the 1JZ-GTE 6 Cylinder engine with officially 280ps (but much in real life )

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 ;)

What pads are you guys using and how much did you pay for them? Do you recommend your pads?

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)

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!

I wouldnt mind seeing some group buys for the oceana area

what on?

have you contacted all the dealers.........give them a general run down of the clubs aims and wishes, we found in the UK and US that if you can get dealers on your side things kinda start selling themselfs

but defo a well done for whats been sorted so far

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.
