I got a 02 IS300 and I m hopeing of anyone are interested to swap my grille for a JDM Altezza one..any type...let me know.. Matt

Hey Guys- NZ LOC, Greeneyes / Gav S / Ako etc please post about if you have doen anything new since last weeks meet...I have stopped dropping off leaflets because I m waiting for the proper one to get printed...but I got no news yet since last week, Gav I know you are busy with the new home and i m busy with the exams...:( anyway I will get all my friend to help with spreading the words about the club, printing out a few more decals might help with the advertising...there might be some people out there that are also interested to promote the club....these are the people who wont join but covers the mojority of Lexus owners in NZ... JDM Altezza Owners - mostly Asian Students that dosent know much english and are afriad to join the club because they think they dont drive a lexus.. ES300 - LS430 - GS300 etc owners.... They are all 50+ they will only join the club if we go to the marine / golf club once a month.. well I m real tired and i got a exam 2moro, so i will leave it for now.....laterz and dont forget to post info....

How much did it cost ya? I C...thanks for letting me know...Yeah The US IS3 have longer bumper for so call "crash protection", the IS looks better with shorter bumpers as Altezzas are actually designed for them...BTW are there much JDM Lexuses over in UK and Europe? Matt ;)

How much did it cost ya?

I wont be surprise if L-Tuned is a Product line of TRD USA, if you look at their products...L-Tuned Grille = TRD CB Grille L-Tuned kits = TRD kit in Jap, but L-Sportline has got nothing at all to do with Lexus USA, so how can lexus just "Drop it" I've heard of tons of complains about L-Sportline Grille but nothin much abotu L-Tuned Products. Matt

TRD is the sports division of toyota, they sell them in US... L-Tuned are official Lexus products and it has the same warranty period as your lexus in US L-Sportline is not owned by Lexus and ocasionnaly they ahve minor / major problems.... but they have nothin to do with Lexus USA.... NZ / AUS dealers knows nothin about it because we do not have a big enough market to cope with these product, the only thing u can do is order them from US or get TRD at a shop where ppl have a starlet goes.. forgive me to correct moderater is just that i have been a member in is300.net for over a year and i go there everyday and i only know what lexus is like in US, and i know nothin about lex in Europe, hope you understand... Matt

Things I m getting within the next 2 weeks... L-Sportline Grille (Getting it painted here) L-Sportline 35mm Lowering Springs L-Sportline Chromed Emblems (2) 1 for front and 1 for back.... Things I m getting befroe end of year L-Sportline Sports Exhaust PLP SFI / JoeZ DFI (depends) then thats probly all the mod my car is gonna havei might get the L-Sportline Brakes but thats gonna cost $4000 NZD + Shipping + install......have to save up more $ at the mo i only have these mods..barely anything JDM Dash Tray 20% Tints Black Calipers with white Lexus Logos 03 Cupholder OEM Spoiler VVT-i emblem (Selling them) JDM Antenna (gone)

YES, it is just eibach and bilistens, but the design and specs are different... MAtt

Hi Naroka: Lowering down is my next mod b/c I hate the big gap at the rear . Do u like King Springs? How much did u pay for urs(springs & fitting)? I have the same front lip like urs, I m just wondering do u scrap ur front lip often? thanks SSML Hey SSML, TRD328, Naroka, Aristo Kat u aussies and us Kiwis...lol anyway, I know Kings Springs is cheap and is not bad on quality, but i just don't trust them, if they are so good, why dosent anyone else use it, get out of the civic habit and get something else...Try get some L-Tuned from US for $260 + Shipping or L-Sportline for $200 + Shipping (PM me about L-sportline), they are made by eibach, eibach is known that it is a good springs and all good springs are made by them , brabus and carlsson etc, so get something else other than kings, i just dont like them, just my 02 cents, no flames..... Matt

hehehe..........when are we getting our stickers, i just finished cleaning the car....... :D

I will as always, anyway you getting our stickers? Matt

Well, the NZ IS's dosent have polished wheels, i m gonna do it myself at some metal polish place... Matt

Hey: Our lexus dealers know jack all about our cars, i know more moding stuff than any of NZ dealers does, because not much people mod our type of cars, most are jsut 60+ old man......HEHEHE Matt

anything you want MAtt.... Matt

Hey all: I had my Lexus IS300 since April 2002, its about time to mod it, i had enough with the boring stock look...when you mod a Lexus make sure to get something that is right for your Lexus, here are some of the few brands I would strongly recommened If you have a Lexus IS300, GS300, LS400/430 L-Tuned (Lexus Aftermarket Modification) = BMW's Motorsport / Merc's AMG ProLexPerformance (Performance parts for Lexus) = HKS, Greddy etc L-Sportline (Aerodynamics and tuners) = BMW's Hanmann / Merc's Brabus / Carlsson / MTM you got my point If you have a JDM Lexus Toyota Racing Development (TRD) (Toyota Aftermarket Modification) = Nissan's Nismo / Mists Rallyart Tom's (Modification for Toyota, basiclly anything) = MTM / Brabus etc.... Ugo (modifications for Toyota) = Tom's If you have no confident on aftermarket products but you like to mod your car, these brands are the ones to go for...because these companies only does Toyota / Lexus so they know our vehicles best... Links www.lsportline.com www.l-tunedparts.com www.ltuned.com www.prolexperformance.com www.toms.com www.trd.com www.is300.net Hope this helps with NZ lexus owners that want to mod there car the NON civic way... Matt

Hey Guys... some of you should already know thta I m obsessive with L-Sportline products, I love it so much I won't even get other visible products made by other brands..heheh..say I m a retard but anyway, I got news that my L-Sportline Springs (1.45" Drop) and Rear Deck Emblem is on the way to my door from the US, both coming on EMS (Express Mail Service)...I CANT WAIT ANY LONGER!!! Later on this year I will also so the L Sportline Mesh Grille along with another emblem to stick it on the grille...I will have a few more looks I might even get a L Sportline Roof Spoiler, would it be too many spoiler things? FYI, if you guys wonder why i love it so much...visit their website...www.lsportline.com Remember when you have a Lexus Brabuslise it don't Civiclise it!!! there is a difference between a $5000 boyracer kart and a $600000 Brabus......:D All the L-Sportline stuff I wanted but cannot get L-Sportline Bodykit (US have bigger bumpers so It wont fit onto our cars) L-Sportline Spoiler (Because I have already got a Lip Spoiler) L-Sportline Exhaust (Due to the new law, I will see how that goes, I might buy it anyway becaus eit is all LEGAL until you get caught!!!) L-Sportline Muilti Piece wheels, (I CANT AFFORD $15000 Wheels) Thats it guys, I might have to go with other brands like PLP or L-Tuned

are you guys using my design? you guys have to realize that the pics on it aint colour and the letter should be more goldish (Lexus Gold) so that it will look better? I think? Matt

thanks gav, cant wait till i can get my decals..........:D

really nice as always....

YES< i realize there are a few altezzas with hubbies, looks so crap, no leather steering wheel, no nothing, no fog lights....hehehe Matt

Hey guys... I think Gav like my design, well I actually doen that thing in 20 minutes, both of them are different, one have an picture of some Colorado Meet in the US and the other one is the 03 JDM Altezza on 17" 11 spoke wheel,s PHAT as, anyway i think we should have 1000 copy each of each design, i think i found some grammar mistake on it last night, let me know... Matt

dosent www.lexusownersclub.net / www.lexusownersclub.net.nz sounds better???, OK I will do the design of the leaflet now and I willsend it to your e-mail by 9pm.... Matt

hey Guys: I m printing some more of my leaflets, they go so quick... anyway I got some people from AUS and US to join, dosent really help the "NZ" thing much but it helps, Naroka - burnout princess and RIS300 and leexus its through my ad on is300.net, I think that could be a good advertising too...BTW we just got a new member in the Soarer lot that lives on the shore also, he said he is going to help us on the soarer club in AUS, keep up with the hard works guys and we will one day have 500 Lexus down at the meremere drags...:D Matt

Alot of work you've done already Keith, I m busy with exams this week so I wont put too much work into it until next weekend, but when i see a JDM / Lexus parked on side of the road or next to me I will give them a Leaflets, also i m busy ordering my L-Sportline springs and the rear deck emblem, too excited for that!!! have to say that shipping is real expensive...it will cost me $190 for international express to get to my door insuared but will get here within four working days (Pretty Quick), I send the cashier chque through with FedEx and even that cost me $62.5.....GOD DAMN THOSE AMERICAN SHIPPING COMPANIES!!! anyway, i think my computer is pretty screwed, it cant save the leaflet i designed with out forum logo at the top and details in the middle, also to welcome all i have a LS430 and a 2003 JDM Altezza with 11 spoke 17' wheels, i wonder if i can jsut get it send to one of you guys...keith you doing th printing?
