  1. Well, my IS200SE finally goes to a new owner tomorrow morning, spent today cleaning her up. It's been a good 3 years and 62,000 miles, no real problems (apart from the dodgy LPG conversion). Things I'll miss about my IS: heated mirrors (new car doesn't have them) heated seats (ditto) excellent brakes (ditto) 6 cylinder growl/howl Things my new car has that the Lexus doesn't: 300bhp 4 wheel drive flat four burble ;) I probably won't be returning to the Lexus fold, not because it was a bad car, but because luxury motoring doesn't suit me, I prefer something with a raw edge to it. Be seeing you now...
  2. Many thanks to Chris Shipley, I now have a new rear light! Cheers Chris, very much appreciated.
  3. It's funny, my sister asked me if I missed the luxury and I said "What when I'm in a 4 wheel drift going round a roundabout I'm going to need heated seats?" :P Nearly 300 horses and amazing handling and that "raw" feel? It talks to me in a way that the Lex just never quite managed, I'm afraid.
  4. I've got a 93 Subaru Impreza WRX. Knocking on for about 290bhp. I used to think the Lexus handled well ;)
  5. I've been trying. Finally got an offer on it, the guy is supposed to be coming on Sunday with cash. Typical, huh?
  6. I went over to the real Dark Side: Scoobynet, due to the arrival of my '93 WRX ;)
  7. I've just reversed my car into a skip Anyone got a rear drivers side lense cover thingy for an IS200 (clear)? Or does anyone know where I can get one cheap?
  8. I never really got the TC to come on in a straight line, but I found it more of a hindrance when conering very fast, I ended up over correcting because the TC was trying to stop the skid as well.
  9. There was no "all of the above" option? :?:
  10. So, let me get this straight: you like the music and you're a Mac user? Step this way please sir... LOL, only kidding, welcome to Team Lexus ;)
  11. It's actually silver, not green :D I think I will come to JAE (not definite yet) but I want to hang with the Lexus group, don't make me hang around with the Scooby boys, they all think they're Rally Champions, LOL
  12. Higher petrol costs: yup, ready but actually not much worse than the Lexus Higher Insurance: damn, you ain't kidding, twice the price of Lexus insurance Higher parts costs: If I can ever find parts for my Jap import, LOL. You forgot crappy interior from hell, not even a bloody clock! Oh, and the important one: bigger grin on my face :P
  13. damn, can I change my vote? I said Tuesday, but everyone else said Monday and Monday is cool with me too ;)
  14. Well, lmost since the day this forum started, I've been talking about selling the Lexus and getting something with more grunt, well I've now done 1 out of 2! Meet my new baby, Wrexy: Now I really need to sell the IS, just to afford the insurance on the Scoob! I believe the official term for what I've done is a "Reverse Chris Shipley" LOL
  15. colour-blindness sucks. I wanna laugh at the green tyres too, but I can't see them :(
  16. OK, anyone who posts after me, will be hunted down using my network of Liverpool thugs and given a stern talking to. You have been warned...
  17. I tried 3 tansk of Optimax instead of normal Shell Unleaded and "noticed" no improvement in either performance or fuel consumption, didn't test on a Dyno though.
  18. I have a few stone chips but no more than I would expect from a 52,000 mile motorway car, and none of the chips are rusting. The only bad chip I have is the drivers side wiper arm. The paint has come off and has a rust spot on it.
  19. My nickname amongst my friends is Rev or The Rev because I once wore a shirt that apparently made me lok like a vicar. The name has now stuck for over 10 years. I became Notorious a little later after an incident with a UFO and a Lada. Now I generally infer that Rev has some kind of speed/motorsport/engine theme ;)
  20. Just give me the sticker, you know I'm gonna win it anyway :P
  21. Just a personal opinion, but that music makes me react violently, it actually makes me chuck things at the TV screen. Sounds like it was written and performed by the guy that did the music for Blackadder II.
  22. definately yellow, or aztec fire which is the best colour ( :P to Javadude, LOL)
  23. I like the style, but I wouldn't have it in black, looks like a hearse for short people :P
  24. Seems to me that there are way too many sticky threads, makes the place look a little cluttered. Or is it just me? *EDIT* the middle option is for psychics only :D [Edited on 1-5-2002 by NotoriousREV]
