Is200 Sport New Mesh Grill Needed

Thanks gji25, I shouldve mentioned theyre 19inch wheels. Ive had them at 40Psi for a few weeks now and happy with the ride so will stick to that for now. Thank you for taking the time to post and reply. In case it helps anyone else in future, I think I've figured out the grinding issue, Im pretty sure it was the dust guards on the brake discs, I pushed them back slightly with my hand where they felt too close to the discs and since then no grinding noise. I hope you are all well. 🙂

Perfect fit and fires up like a monster. Mine was delivered in two days.

Ok, fair enough. Regards, Dan.

Totally different exhaust compared to the is250. I'd sell you an OEM Catback exhaust if you want.

She will be when we can get her back in to have a cast put on. Blackpool Vic Hospital have real staffing issues currently. She's in a temporary boot and in agony

More lights that I will have to have a look for 🙈😅

Point well made! Also, there seems to be a lot of naivety about Lexus Relax.

…..again, thank you so much Malcolm! feel I need to send this note to close on your message contribution’s. current score: Malcolm 3.100……..Anthony 3 😳

Yep! This looks the best deal out there, thanks. A separate search revealed that the ‘HSB’ range still being sold by Halfords are the older items and have been superceded by the newer YBX range. I’m ordering via ‘batterycharged.co.uk’. As you say, £94 deleivered.

If I didn’t already have two Ls400s ( my Honda Legend and my classic 1932 Triumph too ) I’d be accelerating our holiday trip to Scotland, to this year, to pick her up …….. Best wishes with the sale Malc

….Malcolm, you are a legend, and you have already noted my ad - thank, so much! yes, you are right I am heartbroken, as the ad say’s - it has to go! was horrified how much I had actually spent on my flagship - an analysis I never wanted to do on any of my car’s - until now ! really would like it to go to a fellow member who will appreciate her (him?) so finger’s crossed - reluctant to advertise elsewhere. again, thank you, Malcolm. anthony

Car has been found by the police in North London. I still think Lexus needs to do better than this. In a footage from our neighbours cam we watched how they opened the car and drove off in less then 2 minutes. Amazing.

She looks a peach. You must be distraught parting company with such a grand car ……. and as for the price …….. priceless ……. to the right buyer of course 👍 Malc

Oh dear. I hope she’s ok.

Driver and passenger sides haven't got seperate lights, it's as Eggie says, constant green and it's working correctly.

Sorry you lost me. There are only 2 lights. Red and green. Once car starts they flash i.e. checking system and then green light remains on telling you all is correct. The only other message displayed relates to passenger air bag being activated. You can disable the passenger airbag e.g. if transporting a baby, but not the drivers which you cannot turn on/off. The e-call system does not activate on passenger/driver sides but activates if air bags activated automatically.

If you still want to try - £29.99 from here for IS250 2008 to update your sat dvd but will only bring you up to 2018. As Linas says you would be updating a very old system ...https://www.satnavishop.co.uk/toyota-39-c.asp (Toyota/Lexus Gen3/5) Better off putting the money towards android or a garmin etc imho.

Time for another update... 2022 As mentioned a few posts earlier. Just after this odometer milestone was reached, my 2nd set of OEM front brake discs failed prematurely, resulting in an MOT failure and tarnishing my car's previously clean test history. I was actually dubious about the car failing, as the brakes didn't seem too bad to me, so got it tested again somewhere else, and what do you know, it passed. Still, I could tell the brakes weren't quite 100%, so I sought out some replacements. At this point I was done with buying OEM Lexus discs, so I was looking for a quality alternative and decided upon a set of slotted discs from EBC, and paired them up with a set of their Yellowstuff pads. Apparently these are the pads favoured by the Police in their pursuit vehicles. They're overkill for the majority of the driving that I do, but there's no real downside as they perform perfectly well when cold, and its good to know that they're up to the job, should I feel like a spirited drive. 2023 At the same time the brakes were fitted, the car recieved a service and I also had to replace the driver's side front wheel bearing as it had been grumbling for a couple of months. This meant I've now had to replace both front bearings since the passenger side one had previously given out in 2021. Still, as far as unexpected costs go, that's not bad during 7+ years of ownership. Next up was a wee visual mod when I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a set of those fancy door lights that everybody else has. Gotta love the Engrish description on the box. I had resisted the temptation to get these up until now. Anytime I had seen pictures of them on other people's cars, there was something that kinda put me off. But I guess the technology has improved since they first appeared on the scene, as the ones I got produce a lovely sharp and clearly defined logo. Could easily pass as OEM. Throughout the year I had noticed that my exhaust had sprung a leak and was gradually getting louder with each passing week. And with an MOT coming up in October, I was going to have to do something about it. An OEM replacement costs literally thousands of pounds, so that was off the table. An aftermarket one was a possibility, but would probably have to be imported and I was concerned that it would take too long to arrive. So, I kicked the can down the road by having the exhaust welded at a local tyre & exhaust centre. Not the cleanest looking repair but it did what was needed to earn an MOT pass, and tide me over until a long-term solution can be found. Into December, and this is when I made the annual switch to my Winter wheel & tyre package. I convinced myself that, come springtime, when these would be coming back off, they'd be getting replaced by something new & shiny. For a long time, like 3 or 4 years at least, I had been searching for a set of the 19" F-Sport wheels that the 2016+ facelift GS came with. I felt that these would've looked really good on my car, and would've fitted with the whole "OEM Plus" theme. Alas, it was to no avail. I did see the odd single wheel come up for sale now and again, but never a complete set. I guess those cars are just too scarce in the first place, and the likelihood of an owner wishing to swap the wheels for something else, even more unlikely. So, I would have to take a dip into the aftermarket world for my next set of wheels. And with a Black Friday discount code available, I took advantage and committed to placing an order for a set of WORK wheels. 2024 They were made to order and had to be shipped from Japan, but the whole process from start to finish, was only around 8 weeks and they arrived at my door in late January. Shout out to Driftworks for the great service.👍 As well as the wheels, I also picked up a set of wheel nuts, centre caps, valves & valve caps. And these are the wheels in question. Work Emotion ZR10 in "Glim Black" with polished lip. I considered going "square" as I believe these 9.5" wheels could also fit on the front no problem, but that would probably involve running a stretched tyre, and I'm not really a fan of that look. So, I kept the staggered setup with a more conservative 8.5" front wheel. 19" wheels were also a consideration, but I think I prefer the smaller wheel, chunkier tyre look. Reaffirming this, I've upsized the tyres to 235/40 & 255/40. Getting decent rubber in these sizes was somewhat limited, with the rear 255/40R18 fitment usually being the bottleneck. Michelin is my usual go-to choice and the latest Pilot Sport 5 was available, but I fancied trying out a different brand for a change. I also liked the idea of my new JDM wheels wearing a Japanese tyre brand. But, with the offerings from Yokohama and Bridgestone being a bit uninspiring, I opted for the recently released Proxes Sport 2 from Toyo. They have the all-important "A" rating for wet grip, and a local independent tyre shop hooked me up with them for a very reasonable price. Once I got the wheels back home I wiped them down and gave them a coat of Gtechniq C5. This was my first experience of using a ceramic product of this type, but it appears to have gone well despite the coating being applied in fairly lukewarm weather. I love how the colour of the spokes can flip between looking silver or black, depending on the viewing angle. Before I put the new wheels on the car, I flushed out all the crud and crap that had built up in the wheel arches during the winter. Here's a few pics of how they look on the car. I'm delighted with how they look and the fitment is very nice. The stance should look even better in a couple of weeks when some of the wheel arch gap is eliminated... 😉

Hello Everyone, I recently bought a new Rz and I would like to use ABRP and its live data feature. One option is to use an OBD reader. I tried one with the profile of BZ4X as I was expecting them to be the same. However, I could read only a few data and none of the interesting ones, like SoC or current power. Does anyone else have experience using OBD readers on an Rz? What app do you use? Perhaps any knowledge on the used PID addresses, if they are not the same as BZ4X? Thank you!

Easy, the mid term face lift production started in September 2017. So the NX phase 1.2 or whatever people are calling it was approved for manufacture before the mandatory requirement.
