Hi All !

I have a spare blitz grille for IS200 / 300.

Made from high quality fibre glass and already primed and sprayed BLACK ready to fit. this was never fitted to my car as I bought a original Altezza one at the same time and now no longer need it. Its a great looking grill

Im asking about $150 or near offer cause I had to pay for the prep & painting

or willing to swap for anything IS200 / 300 related.

thanks !

joe

Are you in Auckland ?

I might be intrested and want to see it ?

I have one from Maat's car the IS300 on mine right now

and It goes in Altezza right ?

Nice grunt, but that is one ugly ass! <_<

keith

Yeah the back is very nice and the neon like inside I dont like.

Price wise ?

lol

but I dont drive far .. maybe pump up once every 2 weeks mostly

mostly just 10 min drive to school or 6,7 min drive to eat.

not much highway driving

and that was when it was stock

dont know what its like now with the exhaust and intake

have a look next time

have a good trip :D

I am too lazy to drive anywhere far

furtherest north - Albany

furtherest south - Pukokoe Where Aaron lives cant spell :)

normally once a week,

but if the weather is crap maybe 2 weeks

thought of do what Matt does but I just use hose water :D

Well the best I've gotten out of a full tank was 485km and the fuel light was constantly on

thats driving 2000-3000rpm and mostly without air con :>

but normally get around 420-430km

had the car for near 2 years and my 6 cd stero thing still works fine :D

never had any of those error messages

guess some comes out bad  :(

wait a while...

Matt B)

lol :P

I would have been waiting longer than most ppl

maybe it had it replaced before I got the car, dont know

had the car for near 2 years and my 6 cd stero thing still works fine :D

never had any of those error messages

guess some comes out bad :(

Maybe u didnt install it properly like me :(

I think I had the air temp sensor wrong

Gav knows more

mine was running lean and the car wasnt acclerating properly

only 1st gear was allright all others was just forward stop forward stop accleration .

Ok! I've just been down to weigh it again! This time it was quiet in the yard and I could chat to the guy in the weighbridge while the scales blinked between 1160+/-20kg!! (musta used a bit of fuel!)

Either its a carbon bonnet and a 1200cc engine, or something is odd with the scales...

maybe you can try yours Samuel, its only 5minutes away.

I will try to take it down next week

Will post results

Yeah I am keen to know to so I can go weigh mine

but 1180 sounds so low

Welcome,

You have come to the right place to ask about Altezza's.

about the right price how much are u looking for ?

most of them seem like a good price to me.

they have gone down by so much this year and end of last :(

quite a big difference in power

Is200 has like around 116kw

and RS200 has 154kw

I dont remmber exact figures but something like that

evo or wrx sti

evo or wrx sti

Hi,

I got 2003 Lexus IS200 on Monday :D

It is really a great car!

I am very interested to meet other people that drive Lexus cars, find out what they do and why they like Lexus.

Cheers,

Igor.

Hi and welcome

some more info plz :P

Are you going to take it into the agents for an alignment Matt? Maybe they do the alignment and fit new tyres under the guarentee.... (who me? Lowered it... never!) You should print out lots of the pages from the UK club talking about that problem, and say you went outside to look at your own tyres after reading about it, and behold....

Yeah Sam, I was wondering if a balance would solve the problem. Usually a wheel only goes out of balance quickly when it loses a wheel weight.

Everyone else checked their tyres???

Yeah its all good now

They were pretty nice and did the balance for me for free :D

he said the blanace on the front was pretty bad

cant remember the exact figures

Don't forget to tell us what happens Sam.....

what do u mean ?

Anyway I am taking it back to do a wheel balance 2morrow morning

hope it fixes it it shakes so hard when going high speed ....

Will post what happens after wheel balancing

It can also be caused by irregular tyre wear-if you drove for quite some time with the car out of alignment/balance,it can cause the tyre to wear unevenly-so when you do get it aligned/balanced the tyre sits on the road uneven,causing shudder through the steering wheel....

Ah I c that might be it

Thanks for all the replies

Yeah called Toyota

told me to go get a wheel balance at a tyre shop ...

But its strange because the steering wheel wasnt shaking before the alignment ... and after alignment done it starts shaking ...

I did my alignment yesterday

But not when the car hits 90 - 110 the steering wheel

shakes quite bad. I am sure it didnt do it before I had

the alignment done.

At other speed everyhting is fine

Should I take it back to the place which did my alignment ?

to Toyota ? I have a 3 year warrenty
