  1. Well that's what got me started on the LS, I knew nothing about them, didn't even know who made them, I just liked the look. I've always liked the look of American cars anyway, and the LS400 always looked a bit American to me. I also spent a fair amount of time in Canada visiting my sister for weeks at a time, loving many of the cars there. One time driving a Toyota Camry from Vancouver to Calgary with absolutely no traffic hold up in 700 miles. definitely happy days!

  2. The final, chapter. A young guy called Chris arrived today at 3.30 from AA auto screens, and what a nice chap. Was careful to note any scratches on the car or other damage, which I signed for, fair enough. Made him a cup of tea while he set about removing the old screen. An hour 20 mins later new screen fitted all nice and clean, no greasy dirty marks anywhere inside or out. Paid my £70 insurance excess. My faith restored in screen fitting, and I had a lovely brand new screen to look through for about 5 mins as the heavens opened. Happy bunny Oh yes he quite like my sheep skin rugs.

  3. Just got her back from the paint shop. Like new!! These old cars really do polish up well, don't they? All is well that ends well, especially after a week with a courtesy Clio!

  4. I shut down our operation at Atomic sadly....... I re-wrote the geometric settings for the IS200/ 300/ SC some years back after the owners of this forum contacted me regarding the issues members had with front tyre wear, sadly Lexus got it wrong! As for the modified IS or any car in reality that's a completely different story. Calibrating the chassis leans toward tyre saturation limits and this in turn depends on suspension, bushing compliance with a mix of duty, this being the expected role for the car? The hardest thing to calibrate in my opinion is you :o ..... Now the car is low with coilovers fitted and the desire is fast, flat high speed cornering..... Well how fast? How flat? How planted do you want the car, do you want to read/ feel the saturation or snap oversteer? Getting this information is difficult but essential otherwise one owner could say the car is un-drivable and the next driver love it.The reason for this is the human and the car chassis has a frequency, lets say a manufactured easy level that's easy for us mire mortals to drive. Modify the car then everything changes, either the human frequency ( input ) or the cars reaction, both ways there's a telling factor the geometry calibration needs to address if only to dumb the cars frequency down.

  5. When you try to remove the amp, you'll find it a lot easier if you first remove the kick panel below it - you can then get up to it from underneath. If you're lucky you can undo the bolts and pull it out completely. I couldn't get mine totally out but I managed to move it far enough forwards to get to the plug on the back. It was still a totally bitch to remove, and I took half the skin off the back of my hand, but once I was sitting in the car listening to some top tunes (and bleeding a bit) it was worth it...

  6. Eibach's are the way to go but be sure to go for gas dampers since the lowered coils have a higher rate than OEM coils.
