You can add me to the list, not an official Lexus but as close as I can afford ;-) Anyone know what happened to all the other members? This site looks like it used to be really busy + cool but now it's kinda dead... I'm also quite keen to join in on any club activities that may get organised, how many people would be interested in such a venture? Cheers, Jeremy

Cool, my fuel comsumption sounds about right then, good there's nothing wrong but bad that it uses sooooo much gas... Will have to train my right foot to be a bit lighter I thinkn ;-) Thanks again guys, Jeremy

Anybody can reply to me, really... Feel free! Go nuts!! Put your 5 cents in!!!

Hi again, I've been reading about the various turbo/supercharger setups that people have tried out on their Altezzas and was wondering if anyone has heard of a supercharger off a 1G-GZE being used? It's the same family of engine as what's already in the car so I thought I'd find out whether it'll just bolt up, ready to go or if there's a fair amount of work involved. If it does work it's bound to be a far cheaper option than the TTE Supercharger kit... Anyone got any thoughts/ideas/information/abuse? Cheers, Jeremy

Gidday everyone, I've noticed my fuel bill rise quite dramatically since buying my Altezza, can anyone confirm for me what their normal mileage is? Mine currently sits at about 500km per tank, is this as horribly excessive as I think?? I do think there may be a wheel alignment problem, I'll see to this soon + let you know if things improve at all... Cheers, Jeremy

Hi everyone, I've been looking around the site for a few weeks now and I'm very impressed by the friendliness between all the members, everyone is keen to help everyone else :-) I've just (01APR06) brought an AS200Z in black with only 51000km on the clock. So far 18" mags have been the only mods, although I did pull out some of those LED mood lights so favoured by 16 year old boyracers, fine in an '88 Corolla but not in a $20k Altezza... I'm currently in the process of fitting a set of air horns and a pair of driving lights, all the brackets are being made out of stainless steel, helped along by the fact that I'm an Aeronautical Metalworker by trade, should look all nice and shiny in the end. Future mods include swapping the 18" wheels and tyres for some factory 17", so if anyone has factory mags (with nice newish tyres) and are considering an upgrade gimme a yell. My tyres all have 5mm of tread left although they are a little mismatched, easy to sort out if you know the right people though :-) I'd also like to re-do the exhaust, make it more free flowing without being too much louder, an induction kit (which I may just make myself if I can find a proven design) and if I win lotto one of those flash supercharger kits from the UK. Other than that I'm very pleased with my purchase, you were all right in saying it's a fantastic car to drive, own and look at, although it is considerably thirstier than the Honda Integra I owned previously... A couple of issues I do have: - Leaky boot, fills up in the left hand corner every time it rains, boot smells like wet dog and I can't seem to find the source as yet... Anyone else suffering from this problem? - Factory radio, has anyone else attempted to fit a band expander? I'm just getting a little sick of Mai FM... Any hints and tips as to how to take it all apart? - Clunky noises from front suspension/ steering, when braking and turning at low speed I'm getting a clunk/grinding noise from the front suspension. I read on one of the posts that the brake pads move and make a clunk but I am getting more that one noise at times. Am thinking it may be either to do with the big wheels or my tie rod ends/suspension joints are wearing out... Any help would be great. Thanks in advance for any advice. You guys have a fantastic site running here, keep up the good work and I hope to hear from you soon :-) Cheers, Jeremy
