  1. Noel, you may want to have a test drive before you set your heart on one...........

    True... but the heart wants what the heart wants :blush:

    Getting old now and performance cars don't excite me as much anymore, the Diesel engine in the 300C has lots of torque (same engine in the Merc 320cdi)so ain't a slouch but i realise that it won't have great handling but this isn't an issue, I find sporty cars are hard to drive normal so can get you in trouble fairly fast too... time to sit back and enjoy the comfort and not feel compelled to take the bends as fast as possible... :)

    @Rez89, ya the 22's look fab but i'd hate the thought of driving over our pot holed roads :(

    @Bazza, i like Honda's ... bought an FRV for the wife and it's a great car, but i don't think the Accord estate is much of a looker though :blush:

  2. No IS200 has a different engine so the sump won't be the same... but you can get a new one from Toyota, i have the part no. if you want it?

    maybe try and get a sump off an MR2, i'm fairly sure that the bottom end are the same :) no harm in trying ;)

  3. is the brake disc cover in contact with anything or close to hittting rubbing on a part of the hub assembly

    I don't know as it's not my car, but i'll pass on your comments to Evelyn ;)

    If you listen to this video you can hear it ... ?

    Please wait a few seconds for Video to Load!

    cheers

  4. I have the IS250 wheels fitted to mine and they are the 17" 8J

    Points to note ...

    With 17" you will have to grind of a little lug on the front suspension arm

    i recommend 225/45 tyres all round as if you put wider on the rear you can't rotate front to rear for even wearing, also found that the 245 on the rears gave tooooo much grip and i couldn't have any tail out fun... (when safe to do so of course)

    MY Lexus IS250 17" alloys are starting to corrode now as well, not as bad as the original 5 pokes but the bubbles are starting under the paint :(

  5. Really sorry to hear this buddy, any news on the severity of the damage yet?

    nope... still waiting for my mechanic to get it all stripped down ... no point ordering parts till he has a full list together, hopefully the pistons will be ok :(

    cheers lads
