So would the eibach springs still only lower my car another 15mm? If so I think I will save up for some coilovers. Just out of interest though, where do you get the eibach springs from in the UK?

Dunno. Does Lexus supply synthetic fluid with all of its cars?

My cousin used to have a BMW M3 with 18" BMW alloys fitted. He was quoted £332+VAT for new Goodyear tyres from Bridgegate BMW in Derby (285/35/18's) and he managed to get them from an excellent local tyre place called pit stop tyres in South Normanton (01773 863030) who got him some identical tyres for £129 all in. The morale of the story is don't buy anything you don't have to from a main dealer [Edited on 19-4-2002 by andyhart21]

I am thinking about having the TTE lowering springs fitted to my IS before I pick it up and I noticed that on the TTE website it says that they lower the car 30mm. I am right in thinking that the IS200 sport is a tiny bit lower than the S and SE? If so would it still make my Sport 30mm lower? In your opinion guys, is it worth fitting the springs or saving up and fitting some TTE coilovers? Bearing in mind that I don't drive that hard and it is mainly for looks:cool: Also, my Lexus dealer looked blank at me when I said the letters "TTE" so where is the best place to order them from? Will they invalidate any warranty if I have them fitted by Lexus? [Edited on 19-4-2002 by andyhart21]

I once saw Bjork when visiting Harrods, and my uncle used to play for Newcastle Utd. and played in the 1974 FA cup final Oooh! I forgot. I once met Emlyn Hughes and he was a right mardy ******* [Edited on 19-4-2002 by andyhart21]

The difference between synthetic brake fluid and normal (polyglycol) brake fluid is that polyglycol absorbs water and moisture from the air over time, that is why you need to change it perodically. When polyglycol absorbs water, the water obviously has a much lower boiling point than the brake fluid and therefore boils before the fluid, creating vapour bubbles. This can lead to a total loss of the vehicle's braking. On the other hand, synthetic fluid repels water and never needs changing. This also helps keep rust and corrosion out of you braking system. It normally has a higher boiling point than polyglycol so you shouldn't ever get your brake fluid boiling even on a track day Hope this helps:smilegrin:

Just let us know how much and where to send it

Is tealexus another club you are running without telling us Steve? I feel betrayed:( To be in tealexus do you have to like tea? I much prefer coffee:P:P:P

So are we all sleeping in our cars:( I think the beer tent sounds better:smilegrin: How would we all fit in Mat and Steves cars to hear them sing??:o I think I had better lose some weight

This post has gone all quiet:( Do you guys want to sort this stuff out nearer the time?

Its easier to get your hands inside 19's:yes: Give her that one and say that if she moans, you are going to put some 14" BBS wire spoke wheels on:smilegrin::smilegrin:

:(:(:( I still can't find it anywhere around here. I have tried WHS and John Menzies with no luck

But then again, she could not understand why I got so incrediby ****** off when they got kerbed. "They still do the same job don't they" was the reply:mad::mad:

When I used to have a fi*sta with alloys on it, my g/f used to think I was insane because I used to take the wheels off the car every week and clean and polish them. My arguement was that if you have paid £800 for some wheels, you don't want them looking like ******* and getting corroded. It must just be a guy thing

Ooops! I forgot to click the link to get a gold members password. Can I still be in your guys gang?:D:D:D

I have just transfered the money into the team lexus account Steve. You should get it in the next 3 days

The IS with carbon bonnet looks absolutely fantastic. Why can't we get hold of stuff like that in the UK without going through all the hassle of importing from US/Japan? Don't like the Merc mirrors though:(

You must have seen a different conversation on MSN to me then Steve, coz I saw him say that he would pay for every meal AND any beer/ciggies we wanted to take back with us:P

So for all of us idiots out there, will adding octane booster to an standard IS200/300 make it go faster or give any other benefits??

We need to nominate a person to be in charge of hiring a tent/generator etc. This person should also hold the kitty I vote Morph or Steve:yes::yes: What do you think would be a reasonable amount of cash to cover everything guys? ps, sorry morph - what is your real name?

I think I saw some models in a display case at Lexus Sheffield from the merchandising range

How many posts for 4 stars Steve?

Nelson Mandela is relaxing in his mansion when he hears a knock at the door. He goes to answer it and looks down to see a small japenese man with a clipboard who says "aaah-so! I have 100 Primera exhausts for you" Mandela is clearly confused and replies "what are you on about?, get out of here" A few days later, the same thing happens. A japenese guy knocks at the door and says "aaah-so! I have 500 Micra wheels for you". Mandela is now starting to get a bit annoyed with this and tells the japenese guy to get lost and not bother him again. About a week later, another japenese guy knocks at the door and says "aaah-so! I have 50 Skyline cylinder heads for you" Mandela is now furious and snatches the japenese delivery guys clipboard from him and says "No mate, you have it all wrong. you want Nissan main dealer":smilegrin::smilegrin::smilegrin:

Thats my hopes of a cheap power increase shot down in flames:mad::mad:

ps, I think my three star crowning ceremony at JAE should involve lots of beer:yes:
