Its also a designation they are dropping with the new version isnt it? Its gonna be an SE-L?
-
thought I did? its not a huge risk to pre-order - its essentially a refundable deposit. So why do they sell a Sport model then? ← but they dont market it as a sports car Pete. A "sport" model is common on many manufacturers. In fact - most "sports" models are completely unsporty! You need only look at the specs and / or test drive it to realise that it is nothing like a fast or powerful car.
-
I did respond to you on this point :D as I said - I dont feel the pre-order people are running a huge risk, as all they will have effectively done is put down a refundable deposit.
-
Lexus are not a performance marque. Its not how they see themselves, nor how they sell themselves. What advertising materials did you read that said the IS was a powerhouse?
-
A pre-order is not a contractual committment to buy though is it? I suspect the people who have pre-ordered have only put a refundable deposit down, in order to get near the front of any queue. They will still be able to thoroughly test drive the car before formally ordering. So - I think they are only risking being a deposit "out of pocket" until the test drive, after which they can order formally, or get their money back. Hardly a huge risk

if you are waxing - you've finished. if its a good carnuba wax - get a layer down every 24 hours is about the best you can do. dont polish or anything else, unless you want to start again. Mike had it on the button - start properly, and get the surface prepped first. clay, swirl removal and polish would be a good start ;) wheres the rest of the pics btw? -
Play on Sports is a new indoor sports facility opening in Canary Wharf in London To celebrate their launch hey are willing to offer LOC Members a nice discount on their facilities.
-
Wald is nice too :D Speak to a user called jdmparts_guru on the US site, he is working on a Wald replica. Failing that - l-tunedparts.com in the states is an excellent site - Steve Ganz the owner is a friend of LOC. Tell him you have been chatting to me about kits, and I sent you his way :winky:
-
I am not sure if I like the junction produce kit - or if its just they always take really good pictures of the car looking clean and gleaming.
-
typing "Veilside Lexus" into a google image search works wonders ;) Your colour too :D nice dark blue one on a MK1
-
those links wont work - need to be a group member
-
you should prbably wait a bit longer before complaining about no replies :D You can get the veilside kit from Rod Millen in the US. Its not my style - but its not as ugly as some You wanted pics ;) Hood, skirt and lip Rear Wing and bumper
-
just wash and dry - and it will be popping again B) if you wax over oit - do it again if you like
-
I have used the DACP - and I prefer the look of SG. Its glossier and deeper - I love it. Its also significantly longer lasting than a wax. On a dark car - a wax will last between may 3-4 weeks in summer to 6-8 weeks in colder times, until it has evaporated off. SG will last longer than that - a good few months, maybe as long as four months. It may offer some small protection against swirling. If you build up a few layers, the swirls will largely be in the SG itself, not the clearcoat. Its main protection is against UV, rain, road grime, bird crap etc.

Police Prejudice...i Think So
Matthew_McNally replied to lexus boy's topic in Lexus General Discussions
I would suspect it was because the "chavd up" golf is more likely to be unroadworthy? New Bentley is going to be safer, have better brakes etc. -
you are missing a "mirror pic". please apply more SG, and take a pic with yourself using the car as a mirror. Compulsory dontcha know :winky:
-
Can get the Sonus Das Polisher Kit from autopia mate - best place. Use the code LEXUSPOLISHERKIT for a 10% discount ;)
-
looking great Mike - you should be proud mate, car looks beautiful. B) Its a fabulous tool isn't it? Did you feel how silky the paint is afterwards? now - imagine how thats gonna look with 5 layers of SG on it? :D :D
-
I think you would be hard done by getting pulled for that mate. yeah - its not even remotely legal (who's is ) - but the registration is clear and unadultered - none of this stupid false screw caps etc
-
I was just gonna post this Col. I had trouble with wheelspin and the Pirellis, but it was in no way due to hard acceleration - just a touch of throttle to get out of junctions, onto roundabouts etc could get the back wheels going - exactly when you dont want to lose traction. not had any such problemns with the F1s
-
seen that the other week mate is it just me - or does he do all that show off stuff - then basically catch him with a windmilling fist? this ones better I think. bang - down you go
-
had potenzas on my IS - the Toyos where significantly better.
-
I am quite happy with them mate - much better than Pirellis imho
-
I agree with mudz on the "Not the pirellis" bit. I got rid of my Pirelli's - did not like them at all - too much wheelspin. I went for Goodyear Eagle F1s ;) Got them from here for a spanking price. That was for 245 / 40 / 18.

Any Web Page Html Guru's Have An Answer?
Matthew_McNally replied to Brettster's topic in Lexus Owners Club Lounge
why use frames? use layers ;) you'll get the same effect, but not the constraints of frame - and adsense will play nicely ;)
