  1. Happy Birthday P38Aaron!

  2. incase you have not seen & you are still looking I have posted a set on here http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/81910-lenso-samurai-sc01-alloys/
  3. when very cold i used to get a slight tapping on start up, I put this down to my car being parked on a sloping driveway & the oil not quite getting to where it needed to in the first couple of seconds.
  4. I can not say much about an SC but i have had stainless fitted to all my previous cars (not my current Subaru Forester). Yes it makes the throttle response a bit crisper, improved MPG? possibly but not too noticeable but that could be because of the sportier sound that makes you drive a little more spirited & so offsets the increase. obviously a stainless system has the potential of being slightly heavier but should out live the car. You will probably have an increase in sound. some of my systems have had tailpipe inserts that do quieten the system down.
  5. im with everybody else, garage needs reporting!
  6. had strut braces front & rear on my Lowered IS200 Sport, sounds odd but never noticed the difference when they where fitted but when I took them off to sell the car i could then tell they wasn't on & it felt a bit wallowy. certainly in future i would spend the money on uprated ARB's
  7. the IS300 is stepped on the rear...I can certainly vouch for WIM
  8. Looking good! you will be happy with an IS200. Love the Corrado, i had a VR6 before getting my Lex.
  9. i sold my 'T' (1999) with 176K miles & it was still going strong, bodywork was still good, engine spot on, still responsive & liked a good spirited drive. Had it serviced at my local independent garage & only used BP Ultimate petrol (if that added to it). Sold it last August & really miss it
  10. looks great! my dad used to have a series B Opel Manta (old S reg)...wicked car from what i can remember. Problem he had with it was no2 piston ring used to fail, helped him do an engine change from a Berlinetta
  11. think if anybody wants something then they will get in no matter what. with previous cars I have had locks popped out, glass smashed but since having alarmed & imobalised cars I have not had any issues. just be cautious, anything that looks tempting to take put out of sight, head units, phones, sat nav etc.
  12. alternatively when you need new tyres get them fitted from WIM after you get Geo done, make a day of it
  13. one of the parts I will be selling is a JDM dash tray, its 2nd hand as it was in my IS200 but need to look into best way of selling my parts, on here or ebay
  14. i lowered mine with Spax springs, had the geometry calibrated by WIM 4 times over the 7 years I owned the car & putting about 80k on the clock. only minor adjustments made after the initial calibration, in the 7 years I only needed to change 2 shocks. sold the car a few weeks ago with over 170k miles. ride was not much different from stock tbh
