oh so u dont want my front bumper that bad do ya??

i hope not! :-) here were my previous settings with very aggressive inner tyre wear (especially in the rear) font: camber (l,r) : -1.06,-1.06 toe-in (l,r) : 1.2, 0.6 rear: camber (l,r) : -2.48, -2.24 toe-in (l,r) : +0.9,-0.6 (whoaa) and this was 2 weeks after i did a wheel alignment at [B]tempe tyres! i should have been at the console monitors when they did it!! or maybe it was that driving on the old road.. i did drive pretty hard to keep up with matt :P just goes to reiterate keiths previous comments on this exact issue.. ask for a print out and check. will let you know on my next rotation keith..

i gotta nice loan car thats only done 600kms.. mmmm that new car smell.. beautiful!

this is an excellent thread with very useful info... so i thought i might add my experience with my current setup.. front camber (l,r) : -1.06, -1.12 degrees toein (l, r) : +0.6 rear camber (l,r) : -1.3, -1.36 degrees toe in (l, r) : +0.9 these are taken as the borderline acceptable to negative camber and toe-in combo. worth nothing that this was a custom spec with my 19x8's/lowered springs/shocks/ and was given min/max different to what keith mentioned. so at the end of the day.. get the initial setup checkedout by lexus guys coz they know this car! then u can use the printed results and info gathered from them and take it to an aftermarket place.

thats what we like to see.. manual! :-) where abouts in sydney are you at?

hi matt.. silver171 is in sydney... give it a couple days.. else, you can start a new group buy with silver171

;) :D B) <_< :) :gav:

nah.. i dont like their styles to be honest..

Name: Mark Location: Sydney Australia Ride: 2001 IS200 Sports 6MT Likes: choc coated coffee beans, my new apartment right by the water B) Dislikes: corporate work politics, psycho women Mods: not much at the moment.. wanted to wait until lexus warranty finished.. so now that it is over, watch this space!

edwin.. help me find a reputable dealer with decent kits.. then u can have my kit ;) ill give you a finders fee discount if you do :D

oh ok stephen.. thanks.

Hi Guys, anyone kind enough to spare their left over caliper paint of gold bronze or black.. preferably in sydney. cheers Mark

ok we have two... who is the 3rd guy?!?!?! *glares at edwin* B)

wohoo i think i found them.. based in the uk? yeh was thinking of black with red trim or vice versa!

nothing wrong.. looking at changing the front bumper though.. so where can i go for a kit in sydney?? importing them is too scary for me. last resort is to goto melb.. and that will raise the expense even more

hey guys.. has anyone dyed their carpet mats? i know there are carpet dyes on the market.. just wanting to know if anyone has used any and can make a review about the product they used.. or any pointers that may help. thanks

Has anyone heard of any good or bad words from carmate? Specifically about the quality of their body kits.. thanks any local sydney shops that sell is200 body kits (original or replica)?

another suggestion.. friend of mine belongs to 200sx.org and they have licence plates that have the web address at the bottom of the licence plate. au.lexusownersclub.com or nz.lexusownersclub.com would be cool.. i'd get a pair! :P any thoughts on this?

yep yep buying at coles makes sense.. esp. if you do the figures with $1.15+ per litre now a days :(

haha CCT3 is the actual guy with the avo turbo kit.. msg him for details/enquiries/info B) ps. for those in sydney, he is coming up from melbourne in mid july.. so may be worth it to have a chat to him while he is here.

any chance of getting the guys in the uk to organise with melbourneit to have a cname for a new subdomain eg. au.lexusownersclub.com and have it point to nz.lexusownersclub.com so this way we can get diane to do up some au.lexusownersclub.com stickers :)
