Meet The Newest Member Of The Family

[atacam]

Well having been let down on another deal, I ploughed through the IS adds to find this machine :)

Front

Rear

Side

Interior

Got it for £5300 there is a small dent on the drivers side wing, I was quoted £430 to replace and spray the wing, so the previous owner deducted the car by that much in case it needed replacing.

It's 35mm lowered at the moment, but it is having it's original springs put back on this week.

Also went to Lexus on Saturday, and bought a cambelt and tensioner for it to be put on this week too.

Thought the parts were very resoable as they both came to £83. The tensioner alone on my old Calibra was £94

BTW is the cigarette lighter ment to have an illuminated edge to it, like the ignition?

Very nice car mate, and a good buy.

Why are you changing the springs back to OEM? Looks good the way it is.

It is lower than my calibra was and there were certain places off limits to me in that.

Plus as I was going over some speed bumps the other day, I could hear scraps on the bottom

of the car, and that was down a road my last car had no problem going down.

It's a shame as it does look nice like it, but practicality of it....none :(

Wanna buy some ;)

No Ta

The IS is on -35mm PI's and the Tezza is down about 50mm on Apexi Coilovers.

Still got the Sport -15mm springs if you want em

What are the OEM springs at?

Do you know the answer to my lighter question?

[MacRS200]

What are the OEM springs at?

Big debate on that one mate, it's all a bit notional.

How do you know that you are on -35mm it most likely you have TTE or Eibach springs.

If the springs are TTE/Eibach they are -30mm if they are PI they will be -35mm. The base measure is off an IS200 S or an SE and the height seems to vary by car anyway from previous threads.

Can't remember the numbers but I can just get my fingers flat on the rear tyres with my knuckles against the wheel arch, fingers slightly bent.

Any lower than that and you will have geometry problems, like too much neg camber.

The Sport OEM springs are -15mm so about 15-20mm higher than the ones you have now.

Do you know the answer to my lighter question?

On a lighter note, the answer is no light on either of mine.

[Pip]

Yes on the lighter front. mine is illuminated.

Nice car mate. Great price and colour too ;)

Was the person you bought the car off a member on here? Or did you do the mods yourself? Lowering springs / rear clear fogs / aftermarket headunit

Thanks for the info.

And no all the bits were done when I bought it.

It has a Kenwood KVT 920DVD in the front, a slim Playstation in the glovebox(which I only found today)

A "10 tv that flips down from the ceiling in the back, just got to get it all working properly now :)

Haven't had them changed yet, work has got in the way

The springs on there are the PI ones though, so I guess it is 35mm?

Also just got quoted £200 all in to do the wing and bumper scratches, so im a happy man B)
