  1. Im Reading! I know there is a car park Next to the madjeski football stadium itys for Comet , B&Q. Pizza Hut etc seems empty after say 7 ish and no barriers???
  2. Hi mate If your going to get a fitter to do it like someone from kwik fit for example then no! But if your going to get a mechanic to do it then yes cos its all a matter of taking nuts and bolts off plus they will have manuals and guidlines etc depends on if they are reputable garage mechanic or cowboys! I have had lots of work done from idependant mechanics and it has been excellent whilst saving money! And to be honest mate I went to lexus Reading a while ago to get my car serviced and the mechanics looked like they had just left school they were so young and I was shocked, I was expecting someone experienced more mature to be in there, but then again with Lexus if anything goes wrong they back it up fully!
  3. Sport is also 15mm lower than SE! I got an SE and love it but sometimes think I should have got the Sport just for the extra touches as standard!!
  4. Falken Ze512 I got at the moment nice tyres but heard the FK452 are brilliant!! and they cost about £60
  5. E bay selling Mintex discs and pads for £90 Get a mechanic to fit them for you prob £40 Otherwise your looking at approx £180 - £250 from dealers garages etc.
  6. No I havent mate bought them about 3 months ago!
  7. Its just an opinion! But they look better in the first pic for me too! Silver is an awesome colour for alloys!
  8. I bought mine from e bay for £1 + £1.50 P&P so £2.50 and they look great as Ihad mine tinted too! Look great!
  9. Standard Apart from silver Ariel, Tinted windows - Not sure if those class as mods!!
  10. You are a Dirty Boy! Mines filty at the mo but its in black so prob wont look that bad but its beena record 3 weeks for me now and I aint clenaed it!
  11. Im thinking of buying some new Tyres! Currently running Uniroyal Rainsport 1s on front and i got 28 K out of them with about 2 K left! Had Eagle F1 GSD2 on rears untill i punctured one and had to drive it to inflate the tyre at the petrol station and damaged the side wall, as my locking wheel nut seized so couldnt put the spare on!! So now I got a budget left rear and F1 right Rear! Anyways, I have been reading loads of articles on Falken FK452 and they seem to be superb in wet and dry and cos approx £30 less than F1's etc etc! I saw them online from Falken direct at £57 brand new delivered to yr door and know of a place in Reading where they can be balanced and fitted cheap! Has any one ever had these tyres and what do they think!!
  12. Niraj I almost for a sec thought they were Grey rims LOL Thats rated mate but mine are so filty at the mo im thinking of not cleaning them throughout the whole winter and then post a pic of what they look like!
  13. Looks sweet leave the Lexus badge on! How much was the grill??
  14. Dont blame the police mate! Blame the home office who give them a mountain of paperwork to do hence keping them off the streets! and most of their time they do patrol is spent dealing with abusive drunks, anti social numpties, idiots, and people who cant handle themselves and make complaint of harassment etc etc! as im sure u are aware every crime reported to police is given a crime refernce number and has to be investigated even if it is *****, a statement is still needed and pointless enquries still have to be done! I take it you got stopped by traffic cops well thats their job to look for faults on vehciles and yes I agree motorists are an easy target, but if your car had been legal in the first place (ignorance is no excuse) u wouldnt be complaing now would you? And its easy to criticise police when they do you for soomething u think is minor and they should be out there catching rapists etc, but if they were so easy to catch it would not be a problem, but someone with illegal blue lights isnt hard to spot! Im not having a go at u mate but my mates a copper and i feel for him as he gives me a real insight to the job which is full of goverment targets etct etc!
  15. Hi 1996 - Nissan Sunny 1.6 SL (very relaible but glum and dull) 1997 - Escort Encore 1.3 (real ***** and unreliable) 1999 - Cavalier 1.8 GLS (Very reliable spacious practical and quite nice I thought for a vauxhall) 2001 - Calibra 16V (really slek good looking, nice ride, highly unreliable) 2004 - Vectra 1.8 LS (very reliable but boring) 2005 to date - Lexus IS 200 (best car i have owned)
  16. Would be great to know how much mileage u get out of the engine!
  17. Eagle F1 GSD2 on Rear (very new) Rainsport 1 on front (almost worn out) Brilliant grip in wet! Ill get eagle f1 GSd2 just to match all four up next time! But I have loved the rainsports really good tyre got 28 K out of them!
  18. Hi I bought a copy! It works a dream its a blatent copy but the CD was spotless no scrathes on it and the PRINT on the top of the disc was real neat! Lexus wanted something like £170 I got mine £24.99 and it works better then my old one faster and has new features! U work it out!!!!!!!
  19. Got mine on 52K Now its on 80 K I had a clutch put it recently, warped discs, 2 services and cambelt! Apart from that not a prob! But the above is wear and tear so im happy! Only thing is Lexus rip u off go to an independant respectable garage will save u loads!
