  1. Hi All, Can anyone tell me what power the is200 rear axle is rated at? I'm in the early stages of planning a build that will include one of the new Ford Coyote V8's and don't want to put in something that can't handle around 450hp. If the axle will take it, are there LSD kits out there too? Many thanks, Ade.
  2. Oh damn, wish I'd waited. ended up paying just over £80 from my local parts supplier for an ADL/Blueprint item. Thanks for the links guys, I've a feeling they'll come in handy :) Ade.
  3. Camberley Auto Factors Just phoned them as one of mine has gone, £98.69! Ade.
  4. Yeah, give it a go, I did mine yesterday, only needed to read the manual for the oil quantity and the location of the filter. Probably the easiest job there is provided the filter plays ball. I was lucky(?) as mine wasn't even finger tight and was leaking so good job I did it when I did! Ade.
  5. Yeah, if it wasn't for bad luck I woldn't have any at the moment. No idea on both counts, the AA guy reckons not engine wise, apart from the switch of course. As for the screen I can only guess that there was a crack in it that we hadn't seen as there was nothing overhead and Elaine was driving fast enough to prevent anything hitting it. Rear demist was probably on???
  6. Bought my IS200 last saturday, but had to let our lass use it for the week as her Honda needed an exhaust and service. Went to pick up the Honda today thinking "Cool, I'll bung our lass in the Honda then just cruise down the high street for some breakfast in my new car". No joy, our lass was late for work so she shot off in the Lex leaving me to pick up and pay for the Honda. 20 minutes later I get a call to say that the rear windscreen has shattered on the Lex and could I pick her up. She told me where she thought she was, which was wrong, so I finally got to her after about an hour of messing about. She was doing her usual trick of sitting with the engine running listening to the radio, only thing is the fan switch is knackered and she'd boiled the car dry FFS! Fortunately she hasn't buggered the head gasket, but I have to wait 'til Monday to get the rear screen fixed so that's another 3 days without getting to drive my new car. <_< :shutit:
  7. It's a no from me, compared to the concept car. Maybe the matt black doesn't suit it, I dunno, but no
  8. Had this on an old Triumph Acclaim, there was a ball bearing in the pad material, I kid you not. Whip the pads out and check them for foreign bodies. Ade.
  9. Hi guys, I'm looking for a passenger side interior door handle, as the chrome has come off mine. Let me know what you've got and how much you want. Cheers, Ade.
  10. Found myself a car on Sunday after a day trolling around, saw several dogs, then fell for a car in Blackburn. Jet black, 119k miles with a few bits to fettle. Illegal black tint on the front windows to remove (took half an hour) and a rattley non standard gear knob (took 10 minutes). Other than that there is some minor scratching on the back bumber, some slightly foggy headlight plastic and very strangely, the chrome is coming off the passengers interior door handle. Had a bit of fun getting to grips with the Sat Nav, which I still need to practice on. Some pics to follow, but I'm very happy so far and looking forward to getting some miles in. Ade.
  11. Thanks guys, I picked a car up on Sunday and am well happy so far. Looking forward to driving it, when I can get it back off our lass :)
  12. Never actually met the guy or seen him in concert, but "shared" breakfast with him several times when stopping in the Glasgow Hilton when I was there on business most of last year. There were loads of "celebs" there over the year, but he was the only one I saw eating where everyone else eats and talking with the staff. I don't do hero's but he has to be right up there. Congratulations. Ade.
  13. Yeah, you did and thanks for that, it'll be a struggle to get to see that one for a couple of weeks though. Plus I thought adding a wanted post might flush something out. Really like the look of this car, especially since it's quite close to me but I just can't see myself driving an auto. I might change my mind following a test drive, but wouldn't want to waste another members time until I was sure. Cheers, Ade.
  14. So it's not a chronograph/meter at all then? boy do I feel dumb
