  1. Hi guys (and girls),

    Having been a guest on your forum for the past few months I can finally post a message as I now have an Altezza.

    Really impressed with the wealth of knowledge that is contained within the forum - along with the pictures and info on your cars. I decided on an Altezza based 90% on the posts in this forum (having seen Gavin's car in NZ Performance Car).

    I got the car (99 RS200 in Silver) last week, drove it all weekend, and am sitting here at work still grinning! The car is so fun to drive.

    The car is currently badged as a Lexus IS200 (Lexus grille, with Lexus badges on the back) - the wheels still say Altezza, as do the floormats, steering wheel etc. I'll probably keep it status quo - just to confuse people.

    Thanks again for all your informative posts - I'll post some pictures soon.

    Glen

    Should fix it up, either do it all lexus or go back all to the Tezza!!! show them what your car really is!!! :lol:

  4. cheers for the replies guys

    yeah those are wht i want but yeah wat price am i looking at and i had a quick look and noticed i couldnt find any screw holes ?

    so how hard is it to get stnadard headunit out ?

    It's a piece of cake to get the OEM headunit out... all you need to do is uninstall the parts from the top of the dash, I can hook you up with the din if you want as I got them in stock at a discounted price.

    Matt :)

  5. Stay with 18-19's with a moderate drop on your car... usually with anything 18" + you are going to have alot of problems getting your wheels and guards coliding with each other. the Altezza arhces are really designed for 19 x 8.5 max with no drop on the US Spec IS300 which is already has a higher suspension setting compare to the Jap Spec Altezza's. If you are going to drop your car even with coil overs and putting 20" wheels you are going to see yourseld to become another Cameron Turner which have no luck going through most of the speedbumps in Auckland.

    Matt :)

  6. Ordering from overseas will be cheaper and they will be in stock, most Au / NZ members found that it cost alot more and harder to get them locally compare to overseas, all of my and other mebers parts are sourced from Asia or US, like for my own car...if you need a TRD/Tom's filter let me know and I will try to sort you out, but since Tom's now have a filter I would recommened Tom's.

  7. Didnt that come with the 02 models too?

    I have the one where the middle is removable and there are three slots so u can adjust the size of each cup?

    Lextcy:

    mine is 02 model Dec01 built (6 airbags,new grill) but my front cup holder is the old style.

    Also let u know that my girlfriend's 04 IS has actully got 3 front cup holders.

    2 at the usually spot, a 3rd "holder" utilise the square slot under the armrest (02 + model) with a small retractable plastic supporter for cup (just like new 03 cup holder)

    Matt. is 03+ holder just the section which fit in the middle of rectangular slot which seperate front and back. I am not sure whethr we have 3 positions to put.?

    SSML

    Yes we do SSML, because I have already got one...

    Matt :)

  8. Didnt that come with the 02 models too?
