yeh imma good boy

..and what are you doing up so late?

yeh been wondering that too. i think only u can see your warnings.. it probably is given by the admin or moderators if you been bad 

Well, I've got 0%.....so I've been good. Have you been bad? :P

out of curiosity stephen.. does you book of goodies have a lip for the legana front bumper?  it'd be interesting to see

I will check....but I do not believe there is one for the Legana as it's a complete bumper.

Just checked...could not find any.

What's the meaning of the "Warn: %" under my avatar details? No saved warns?

Think it's been there almost from day one.

but the moulding to the fogs are round? so is it a lip or the whole front bar?

It's a lip spoiler attached to the standard bar.

indeed it doese look like thats the one :D

thanks very much sir

You're welcome :)

ok my friends car (also a is200) was very dirty at one stage, and a friend for fun drew a smiley face into it. he's washed the car since and the smiley face is kinda still there, only visible in the sun, but still there nonethelss

probably somethin to do with the dirt/dust scratchin it in or something

are there any solutions to this?

Use Meguiar's Scratch X.

I scanned through my Altezza "Bible" and found a kit which looks like the one in your photo.

Looks like the Griffin kit by Alles Create

Now I gotta point out, forking out $800 was steep, but reasonble since its lexus. Least they could do was give it back decent or even take it to a car wash for $20 bucks !! or ven put the dam wash on the invoice !!!Their excuse...?? water restriction.

I get mine serviced at Sydney City....gets washed each time. Apparently, they offer free washes (without a service)..just need to book in advance.

Haven't used the service.....prefer to wash it myself :P

On the topic of loan cars......a couple of years back, I took the IS in to have the wheels replaced. Since it wasn't officially booked in, the ONLY loan car left was a Camry Vienta!

It was a warmish day....drove to Chatwoods and on the way back to Lexus, it overheated! So the return trip from Chatwoods to the dealer was via a flatbed tow truck ;)

hell how much are tissues gonna bring down on their $70/hr mechanics rates and profit margin.

Tissues to wipe up the tears after hearing the costs :P

thats before.. now its just w/end detention at silverwater!

....partying with Rivkin? :D

Spotted in the Surry Hills area by my brother - a 'riced but nice' IS200(?), dark grey (graphite) colour, plates ALTEZR or something to that effect!

Seen it parked in Pitt St in the city....will card it if I see it again.

Carded a nice black one on Saturday night in the city around UTS.

i have a 2 month old goatie, an ear ring and wear a beanie not to mention havent showered in at least a week.  lol 

...on day leave from Long Bay :P :D

As Matt mentioned in another thread, the front bumper design allows optimal position of the front air intake for the is200 right through the middle. Thought I'd post up a quick easy diy fix to improve air flow through the stock air inlet for the is200.

I said that??? where??? :D

Matt =)

Lost your memory from the accident? :P

Would these holes be there for water drainage?

hey stephen..

can you gimme the width (incl. the mounting bracket).. i just wanna know how far it sticks out from the floor.  yeh yours would most likely be type abe.

tnx

The one I have is from Exelgard Fire Protection...it labelled as a B(E) type.

Anyway, have attached a photo for you...it sits about 8.5 - 9 cm (incl bracket).

Not a very clear shot as I just took it in the garage....not much lighting.

I have a 1kg powder extinguisher in my other car...came with a mounting bracket which I bolted to the passenger floor.

For those who are bored....have a laugh

Rice Power :D

ahhaha love the giant ball

the police one is good also

BMWs have large air bags!

im in sydney.. i thought the trust power extremes were loud?

u got a pic?

Not too loud. Just right

They build the brakes on to your old ones. It take four day's to make them up Hence no brakes for a week. (When you look at it that wait could be fun)

Understand :)

:P :D :P

Hi Guys

Just had a thort. Do you think that t would be a good idea to start up a list of borrowable parts. What brings this up is i've just ordered some brake pads thru 0800 race brakes and it has cost me a extra $60 because they have to buy in backing plates because i don't want to take my car off the road for a week. I would be only to happy to lend mine to someone in the near future. I've also seen some offering to lend out a flywheel for someone to take a pattern off.

Sorry, how does the backing plate relate to having the car off the road for a week? ;)

Or have I missed the point?

as we all learnt from first hand experience in last nights KK run.  Never ever insert another key (with a transponder signature) or another object for that fact in the key chamber of your altezza.  You can expect with certainty that afterwards, the proper key will not turn within the chamber - hence your car will need to be towed.

and if you do decide to do this, don't do it in near freezing temperatures so you all are not standing in the open air for nearly 3 hours  :D

I understand the "waiting" business now Who was the unlucky one?

appreciate the tips stephen. definately don't want a bodgey diy job.

and proper spray job turned out good? any fading issues?

I had them sprayed on the outside back then and to date, have not faded a bit. So I assume if you have them sprayed on the inside, they would not fade either.
