  1. Hi all, I used to own a Toyota Altezza and i still have these left over and im cleaning out the garage. I need them gone asap so throw me offers. Im looking for $100 for everything. 1 x Spoiler 1 x set of taillight covers. Im based in Melbourne, txt me on 0409 248 099 as i will not check my inbox. Thankyou.
  2. --I was asking myself the same question. I too have an is200 ('99 luxery sport.) Nice car,yes, ridiculously slow, hell yes! Trying to figure out a cost efficient way of gains. Inevitably,I think the only real way for any noticeable gains with our is200 is induction (ie. supercharger) and full exhaust,(wider headers, new pipes, straight through to a new exhaust like this hks.) Put in some ngk iridium spark plugs, synthetic oil, k&n air filter....runs better i think. Undoubtedly this exhaust will give better sound and 'performance' as a whole. I suppose my main hesitation is, do I want to spend 1,500 on a '99 is200 when the gains probably wont meet my expectations, and will i see the return when i a sell... Do a conversion!!! Haha Bumble.
  3. Where would be the cheapest place to look?!!? :D! Im looking on Nengun and theyre quoting 1,151.59 shipped to Australia. Can anywhere alse youve seen beat this?! :D! Bumble.
  4. Wet Roads = Good Time!!!

  5. Not 100% but it could be due to a slight bend in the front/rear axel. I cant help you too much. sorry mate, but have a read round the forum. Hopefully youll get you answer! :)! Bumble.
  6. Ok. Ive got the name of a guy and im going to look into it next week. First ive gotta get together the money! haha! But thankyou for the info! And knowledge! Haha! Its been great talking you! Bumble.
  7. Yeah the grill has TRD on it, How do i go about getting the kit repaired? Its pretty wrecked from the previous owner! Haha. Bumble.
  8. Worth a try :D! Haha!! Should organise for him to buy some stuff n bring it over for when he comes back over! :D! Haha!! Would save a ****load of $$$! :P! Bumble.
  9. Well yeah i pretty much wanted to get to know as much as possible about the car :D! haha! And with the body kits, ive decided on the JUN one. I can post a picture up of my current kit. Its the stock Rs200 kit. The previous owner has scraped the crap outta both the front bumper and skirts. Ive removed the skirts but have to keep the front bumper on as it would look stupid without it. Heres the link to the kit ive decided on: http://www.bodykitwarehouse.com.au/altezzalexus-bodykit-p-578.html And ill post a pic now of the front :)! Bumble.
  10. You could always pay a panel beater to paint and fit it. Panel Beater would probably be your best option as the body kit might not fit exactly. Ps Can you post a pic of the front? Yeah ive thought about that. but i wanna learn more about the car and would prefer to do it myself. If i cant find much information ill have to get a quote on a panel beater. What would u like a picture of? The front of what? Bumble.
  11. I agree with Geoff. Take a look. It would be one of the plastic covers guarding the underside of your car from all sorts of things. Stones, little kids, animals. :P If u dont wanna scraps it nemore. Jack ur car up using ur jack and take a look, look for scratches. If this doesnt help. Id recommend getting some coilovers. Theyll improve ride quality and handling. :) Bumble.
  12. Check ebay or online stores. Theres a few around. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-GENUINE-JDM-Lexus-Dark-Rear-Lamp-IS200-IS300-/230511389539 That took me 10 seconds to find. Just search round for "Lexus is200 JDM Tail lights" Bumble.
  13. Im interested in two bodykits for my Tezza! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Lexus-IS200-body-kit-FRP-99-05-/130417250684 http://www.bodykitwarehouse.com.au/altezzalexus-bodykit-p-578.html Im keen on the second link! Just wondering how i go about removing the stock 1999 Tezza front and back kit and replacing it :)! Whats involved etc. :D! Bumble

Bumble.
  15. Im riding on Tein super street's. Got the car with them in it. But just wondering how i go about removing the knocking. Is it as simple as just taking them out n giving them a good clean/service. Or more? Bumble.
  16. Hey mate, id recommend on getting the usual to start with. Have a look around, see whaat you personally like and dislike. Don't go for what others like, go for what u like and stick with it. If ur looking at engine modifications, theres heaps of information out there. Just have a look rounf on the forums. Not only this Australian one but the US and UK one! :)! If ur looking for parts. Theres heaps of places to go. Ask round at ur local mechanics and also have a look online. Goodluck with the searching and keep us updated with how its going! :D! Bumble!
  17. Ey guys! Just to clarify. If you want 17's 7.5 is widest you can go on the front? If you want 18's, how wide can you go?? Im looking at 18's for front at back. Would 18x7.5 fit the front? and 18x8.5 fit the back?!?! Thanks a lot!! Bumble!
  18. Haha! Man, i might b able to get a hold of some. I have an is sitting in a scrap yard that caught on fire. It has the 4 rims and spare. I dono if i can jus go get parts from it but ill be oganising it all tomorrow. So ill let u know then! If not, have a look round. there are some for sale. check nengun.com They have a gold pair for sale.

    U dont happen to know of any places that sto...

  19. Hey guys, Looking for a pair of smoked tail lights, preferrably in near new condition. If anyone knows where to look or have ne for sale, or knows anyone whos selling them, please let me know asap. Also im trying to find a horn. Today i was driving along and some prick was infront of me, went to make some noise n realised i had no horn!! If anyone has any info on Altezza horns, n whats involved in hetting one fitted can you please let me know also :)! Thanks a lot!! :D! Bumble!
  20. I'd be weary of those headlights, you never know the quality and I've only heard bad things about them. IS300 headlights are also slightly bigger so you'd have to do some minor modification to make them fit to an is200. With the tail lights, if it's a risk you're willing to take go for it but they might not last long. The quality of Ebay parts are never as good as genuine OEM parts. Yeah! Im not sure what theyll be like, i would prefer to get them here in melbourne so i can actually see their quality. I dont wanna throw money round buying faulty parts! aha!! Thanks for the info!! :)! Ill look into it more! :)! Haha!!
  21. So you might be replacing the front bumper of the altezza with the is200 front bumper? You probably already know this but just in case, make sure you disconnect the battery before you take the dash or steering wheel out, so the air bags don't accidentally go off. Haha thanks for the warning. I had no idea aha!! Im getting my mate to help me with it all. But yeah. i disconnect the battery with anything that involved electrics :P! Thanks for the warning! :)! Bumble.
