BTW- what do you have to do to become a moderator? Pass an initation test or something?

Basically you have to wear women's clothes and swim in a treacherous sea....

still want a job?

BTW ...Congrats Wozza :winky:

Mine keeps getting mistaken for a Lexus too ... :P

btw good find Terry

bonnet stand clip - 53455-53010 this is the no. we Altezza owners use for Toyota..... presume it's the same?

Damn <_< Never browsed in the "Lexus GS 300 / Lexus GS 430 / Lexus 450h / Lexus GS 460" subforum

Don't worry mate .... you posted in the CORRECT section :winky:

Luck wasn't needed ..... http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/...ng1.html?via=mr

Looks like nobody over here believed our politicians that yes was good for the country ....

Just as well it's BMW making the Gina .... be funny if the VAG (volkswagon,Audi group) had used that name ... :P

seriously though it looks cool .... sitting still, be interesting to see it with a light 80mph breeze blowing over it ...?

On my second box in less than a year.... first one died completely at only 3 weeks old wouldn't even turn on... second box lately lost all my saved stuff and i had to do a full reset to get ot recording again.....

basically they are crap.... :(

It'll be close ... ;)

so we have the French threatening us with the consequences it we vote no .... yet it was them that voted no a few years ago...

one of the main concerns is voting rights after 35 years in the EU were handing most of our say away to the new countries .... It's going to end up like the bloody eurovision with all the "eastern neighbours" voting for each other....

why do you think the UK were denied a referendum? because it would probably have been defeated...

Still though the IS350 quoted 0-60 of 5.3 is fairly fecking good for an N/A ... :D

compares well for straight line speed with the IS-F of 4.8

my supercharged IS350 must be close to the IS-F then

That sounds like a challenge.... so who's got an IS-F and will race Dave at Santa pod?

I love to see that :)

It would seem the Insurance company have agreed to fix0r my car :) Although its going to take a while for parts (i've been told 3weeks possibly) and then a week or so to fix it.

They've said its going to cost around £3k to fix!

Any mention of depreciation value compensation? as if/when you decide to sell your car at a later stage you'll have to declare it was repaired and this may effect the price you can expect to get .... :(

Hopefully next weeks topic won't be .... "Driving Nude, It's MEGA!" :P

great little car and 57+ mpg ...

done it a few times but it doesn't feel as safe as driving with footwear.... i was driving a manual at the time and found the clutch changes abit painful after awhile and also you can press the brake harder with shoes...

is your aristo an auto? probably is easier with auto's... less to do and a bigger brake pedal...

Prolex-uk do parts for the GS and his shipping rates are very fair .....

hth

Nice one ... :D

well wear

Yes they do ... but the sensors are in the pipe before the CATS ( manual has 1 but the 5AT has 2 ).... aftermarket 4-2-1 systems for the manuals have the required threaded hole in them already....

If you planning on doing alot of mods then i recommend you buy a Manual as there is very little aftermarket parts for the 5AT as i have found out ...

Good luck :)

Altezza RS200

6MT has only one CAT

5AT has two small ones

Have you got an Altezza now? :)

Anyone who bought an IS220D last year will be fairly ****** off that a new one is 6000 cheaper and 300+ less in road tax..... This will also make a big hit on secondhand prices will have to drop by 8-9000 just to sell and they'll be in the old tax of 790 so less attractive as well...... i'd be disgusted

alot of cars will die out altogether... like above IS250 manual old road tax..... price goes up 5400 and road tax increase's to 2000 .... :(

Not with the current "climate" (pardon the pun) with reducing greenhouse gasses....

Prolex can get you one with a supercharger if you want one?

Yikes... :o

lucky the owner was there too,... anyway lessons learned, fire extinguishers at the ready... ;)

i don't understand the fascination with the show?

but I'll have to have a look now to see the Ladies

Brilliant Noel. Very helpful. Just what i needed. Guess i'll be buying the sport model too.

It doesnt bother me whether its manual of automatic to be honest. I have driven both. Just wondered what everyone else prefered.

I'll start looking for a RED Is200 sport. I think the red one looks the best out of all the colours.

no problem :)

did you say RED?
