Yeh I know jealous w :tsktsk:

Dont worry mate what goes round comes round and i hope one day some w :tsktsk: will scrath the s :tsktsk: out of the piece of s :tsktsk: that they will own or be driving every day!

If You want more power you should of got the IS 300!

Dont judge a car by one problem !

And if you have driven or owned the cars you mentioned you should have never bought an IS 200 to begin with!

B)

Totally standard mate

As i feel its easier to sell an original car to a wider market than a moded one in a selective market

:winky:

At least he is ok the car can be replaced anytime not your son!

I got Uniroyal Rainsport 1 all round and the wet they are magnificant!

:zee:

Terorism in whatever form is by cowards seeing they like to plant bombs and hide like little girls never to be seen again!

And the new suicide breed are just sick*********s!

:tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

I reckon if its serviced regular looked after well it should do easily 250K

Toyota have an excellent reputaions for engines

I know guys that use other Toyotas with 2 litre engine for taxis and have clocked up 300K no problems, and they get thrashed to :tsktsk:

When my car last had a service I reset the tripB on the Odo and set the Maintenance Option on the Sat Nav to 10,000 miles.

Now according to my Odo I am about 1,200 miles away from needing a service, but according to the Nav only 850 miles

I would expect a smalll difference or none at all but seems quite a difference.

Anyone else noticed this?

←

Mate how did you do that on yr sat nav, I got sat nav too and didnt knw you had a maintenance option??

I had those on my Cavalier and they were :tsktsk:

I would never put them on my lex unless they were free, actually :tsktsk: paid me to have them on, I was selling the car, and I was desperate!

Get some Toyos, Eagle F1 etc etc its worth the lil 20 - 30 quid xtra

what rhymes with nanking

That sums em up

←

Yr Sick!

LOL LOL LOL

No mate I didnt!

I posted it here by mistake!!

:zee: Just had a Oil and Filter change which im planning to do every 6K in between services also!

I had Mobil 1 fully Synthetic oil put in and the car feels so much smoother you can feel the difference when accelerating!

I have never felt this before in my previous cars but good oil does make a difference and keeps yr engine running sweet!

Anyone else felt the difference or am I buzzing!

:zee:

Its a hard choice, cos every time I see a different coloured IS i think to myself should I have gone for that colour!

but here is what me and my 20 odd mates think!

1 Black

2 Silver

3 Granite / Blue

4 Red

5 Green was voted the worst colour !

It looks sweet mate!

Just like mine but newer!

Congratulations Niraj

I must admit i bought mine on 15th May 2005, and I had wanted one for ages too about 2 years.

I finally bouth one on a T plate IS200 SE with FLSH, 51K, 2 Owners, Black in colour as I love Platinum Ice but I think Black juts kills it  :winky:

And I always wanted sat Nav which mine came with and it is heavy!

Black half leather interior and the classic IS 17's

What a motor, I love being different from all them guys out there that got a typical Beemer and its different from a merc.

I know you mean mate!

M3's and Mercs all over the show fair play to them.

and your right Audi are getting their styling act together big time and they look so sweet!

But I still love my lex too much

B)

Totally agreed mate.

Especially in my industry (IT) all the tech heads drive flashy drop top beemers, or M3's and some have the Merc range... although i've noticed alot of IT personnel move over to the Audi scene. I've never fancied BMW's or Mercs, but i must say the Audi would've been worth a second look.

Although saying that, i would never betray my japanese cars. They are quality machines, made with love and care.

Lexus all the way i say :D

←

Heavy? What does that mean?

Showing my age now

←

another word for the dogs bollocks!

lol

Whats perfect in a car?

Different people have different tastes and opinions!

Bottom line is IS 200 was designed for good looks, reliability, and luxury!

and I would prefer an IS to a Beemer (too common nowadays)!

and 0 - 60 in 9.5 secs aint brill but not too bad either!

the new IS looks OK but it will probably take time getting used to, as for the old IS Lexus have done exceptionally well to rival BMW! B)

I think if you sprayed it silver it would look sweet!

I bought 3 Uniroyal Rainsport 1's for 240 QUID fitted, which works out 80 QUID each !

I love the old IS shape

But the new IS I wanna see it in the flesh before I have my say, although I must admit I will like probably like it looking at the pics.

Interior looks sweert and engines sound great, and I love the sound of a Radar on the car! whats next Stealth mode :D

:D :D :D

Yeh they look cool I wanted Y4 SAR spells my name, but it costs 15 Fcking Grand!

I have managed to scrape one of my alloys down the side of a rather high kerb. Does anyone know anywhere that I can get it repaired? Either a national company or one in Herts/Bucks would be helpful. If anyone knows how much it should cost I would appreciate that info to.

Thanks

←

I dont know exactly where you can get them repaired but on the back of various Car magazines i.e Max Power and *****, there are places that refurbish alloys.

They usually cost between 30-60 quid per wheel and they look like new too when their done!

Boys heres my list of top tyres in order:

1 Bridgestone Potenza

2 Goodyear Eagle F1

3 Pirelli P Zero

3 Toyo Proxy T1S

5 Yokahama

6 Michellin

what do you think??

←

Potenza what? Pontenza is a range of tyre. Some of the range are complete rubbish like to RE030 fitted as standard to the GS range. I guess you mean the top of the range S-03? They are good but having had both the S-O3 and Eagle F1 I think the Goodyears have the edge and the reviews on tirerack seem to suggest many others feel the same way.

Yes S03's mate !

I got mine changed at 50K although the car was comming up to 6 years and the belt had not been changed before. Get it done, id rather pay 200-300 quid then a couple of grand for a new head or engine.
