    That sucks. Any lasting damage to the car? And how did the Rear Windscreen smash?

    I've taken to calling mine 'The Grey Beastie' ever since I fitted the supercharger :D

    Received today, well impressed with the quality :D. I'll post some pics when i get round to fitting them.

    Yep, justs pops off when levered with a flat blade screwdriver.

    It's possible the attaching screws have worked loose. Where the mirror disappears into the roof lining there's a small rectangular panel that just pops off. The attaching screws are under there. Failing that, i don't know. Is your engine running particularly rough? When was it last serviced?

    Mine does this too. I think it has something to do with how often the fuel sender signal is processed by the ECU. Nothing to worry about.

    Looks like i made the right choice with the TRD option. They look stunning! Absolutely fantastic buddy, muchos kudos! Now I just can't wait to get them.

    Sounds like a sticky relay or a knackered switch. Find your fog light relay and give it a tap to try and release the contacts. Failing that get a multimeter on the contacts of your switch, if its reading continuity in either position, then it's your switch.

    Sorry to be picky but the IS200 doesn't use motion detectors, it uses a Microwave (radar) sensor in the ceiling dome light. When you sick you arm through the window, the sensor detects the change in the electromagnetic field and sets off the alarm. There are also switches for each door, the boot and the bonnet that detect when an entry has been breached and sets off the alarm. I had to research the alarm system recently because mine went totally on the fritz.

    I have HID's and the beam level is set to '0' and no-one has flashed me yet. But yes the headlights can be adjusted using the adjusting screws on the back of the headlights, there's one for lefty/righty and one for uppy/downy. The adjustment is detailed here. Click.

    Check how much electrolyte is in the battery first before shelling out £££'s for a new one. It may just need topping up and a good overnight charge.

    I'm currently waiting for an air diversion panel. I went out on a limb and ordered a Greddy one from america. It cost £56 total i think, just waiting to receive it now.

    There was a how to guide on this very thing a long time ago. Try running a search in the 'mods & tuning' section or 'electronics/audio/security' section. It was very helpful when i put a garmin into mine.

    It seems to be a common problem, mine does it too especially when the gear box is cold. I don't notice it as much now that i have a short shifter installed.

    Try taking off the wheel and running soapy water round the wheel rim and the valve stem, then manipulate the valve stem. If you get any bubbles blooming up from anywhere you have a slow puncture. Definitely sounds like something fishy is going on.

    Sounds like it to me. How many clicks on the rachet do you get before your handbrake goes tight? It should be between 5 and 8.

    Can't see any pics dude.

    Well, the grey beastie sailed through her Mot with no advisories. Not bad for a 9 year old. But i knew she'd pass no problem, of course . And funnily enough there was another IS200 in the garage getting it's cambelt done. Looked like another close call with the cambelt runout issue. The belt had walked it's way forward, and using my MK. 1 calibrated eyeball, it looked like a third of it had been worn away.
  21. Talisker
    Fair enough, I had a feeling this was the case. I'll steer clear of the pap.

    Hey guys, I was searching around the net, as you do, and came across aerosol spray tinting for windows. Basically just tint in a can. I was wondering has anyone used this method on their cars. Any advice or recommendations? Or would I be better off just taking it to a professional tinter and get films tints put on?
  23. Talisker
    I got the bulbs off flea bay. They were from a US seller so they took a while to arrive but i couldn't really complain at 11 bucks.
  24. Talisker
    Here's my model altezza. Quite a nice little model i think.

    Any update on the production of the #4 option, Lexus/TRD?
