blackmagic

Hi Ricky. Well I ordered it without the bodykit because I don't like the TRD kit and I want 19's on there anyway so i didn't go with the 18 styling pack. My wheels should be here next week from the states, so I will update my pic and I suppose i'll have to change my name from blackmagic to...???hmm any suggestions? I think in my online travels, i have come across possibly every single bodykit available for the IS / Altezza, the TRD kits are too common now, so i want to get something unique this time round. By the way if anyone is considering an Erebuni kit, their quality is terrible. I have tried to contact japanese suppliers but their English is terrible, i think their Japanese is better. I get replies like this... Good afternoon, though overseas sending off doesn't do, the mail order of the foreign countries will think inquiry in the near future right now about ELIXIR bodykit ? thank you very much ?, too. A country name, an address and a name can be done if it is good because a sending off cost is calculated. ????????14586646US???? 3 points of amount of money are kits 14586646 US dollars. ??????????????? It costs a sending off cost in these others. ????????????? Please it is asked. Now if anyone can further translate that please get in touch, but I think that it might be encoded in braille. I have got big plans for my new IS 300...wait and see! HAHA!

How happy am I? I now have a brand new red IS300, I no longer have the lovely black IS200. I have no regrets whatsoever...just that I should have done it long back. It is pure pleasure. Go on!

www.toyomoto.com, they are in Miami florida, i don't know where you are based, but they can give you 450 BHP with a turbo but you have to give them a HELLLLUVA lot of money! I love Ford Lightnings..they are just the sexiest pickups ever. Oh and remember if you can't beat him...join him! LOL!

So all this back and forth about the 200 and the 300 leaves me witha funny feeling. i am about to trade in or sell my 200 for a 300. I feel the 300 is WORTH IT! It is a pity they didn't bring out the 300 in the first place. i was gonna supercharge, but £4k is definitely not worth it to get up to 200+ bhp, just get a 300. and get all the extras. Makes sense?

UKAZ! Did I bump into you on a saturday night in Leicester Square. I recognise the exhaust! How are your 19's running at high speed, cornering, general handling? I am trading in my car for a brand new RED IS300. i can't wait! The supercharger at £4k is not worth my while, so I will do this and get a US spec supercharger for the IS300 or something. We'll see!

YES!!!!!.......................please!

COOL!! Could we get the valued opinions of people like supercharged is and superchargedmorph to comment. I would love to know what they think. I have been contemplating getting more power for way too long now! :P Next thing before that is a twin exhaust custom system. I met a guy in London with and IS200 S and it sounded wikid!

Hi Masharp! Well I can't really recommend it YET, 'cause I would like to see how long it lasts, but it does look good and no need to wax. Plus for £400 they do the interior (fabric and carpet seal etc). I got in touch with them at the Lexus dealer. Here are their details. Ming UK, Riverside View, Basing Road, Old Basing, Hampshire, RG24 7AL, Tel 01256 359814 email info@minguk.co.uk. Get them to send you a brochure or something..

I have recently (about 2 months ago) got the Ming treatment done to my car. According to Ming UK, there is no need to wax or polish your car after the process. Just wash it with their shampoo and it will maintain a showroom finish. I must admit when it came back from the treatment, it looked STUNNING, but it's not looking like what it did when i had it done..still looks good, and I can't remember when last I waxed it. It cost me £400 to have it done. I was wondering if anyone else has had it done?

I had a few.. 1. Corrosion on front and rear discs - replaced by warranty 2. Shock absorbers - replaced under warranty 3. CD player jammed cd's - replaced (apparently problem is common) My cd's from the old unit are still with the Lexus dealer...must go get em! 4. Cracking sound when braking - fixed 5. Once had to call RAC when the engine light came on and would NOT turn over. There was a weird noise when i had tried to start it, then the light came on. Engineer reset by disconnecting the battery for 10 mins to fix. Not that i love to have my butt warmed, but as it is winter, just to note that the drivers side heated seat doesn't work properly. It comes on when it feels like it. Doesn't reallt bother me, but do you think I should take it in??

I test drove it. Pretty nice! E-shift takes more than a few minutes to get used to. But for £8k you get GS300 engine, full leather, auto/E-shift, sport spoiler, HID headlights, smoked rear tail lights and urrm not sure what else. Nearly bought it, but decided to put a kit on mine instead! Would've got a red one! Nice new colour in the range!

Just a question? I am considering nineteens! How are yours runnning? Are they the correct offset and do they fit the hub perfectly? I had a few problems with my 18's! Problems are still there slightly, so I might was well get 19's and change my crap tyres too! Have your seen the blitz technospeed Z2 wheels!! WOW!!

Well we've managed to go way off topic! Sorry my fault with the question. Thanks Supercharged for the info...will look into it in the new Year! As far as meetings go...i am in London, so not further than the Midlands would be OK! Spring/Summer would be a good time. Also I think you need to somehow get more users to join the site, find a way to promote it somehow, or get some sort of sponsorship. It's a great site!

yeah that one is nice! It's not a lexus part is it? Looks nice on your car!

Blackmagic is going with BLUE please! Or white, don't you just love the GS300 dash??? I wish that could go in mine! Is the instrument panel lit by LED's or bulbs?

INDEED! Fascia kits! I want to change my stereo head unit and need a fascia kit. I have scoured the net and was hoping someone scoured the net a bit better than me ...anyone?

I had trouble viewing the link, but if your car is the white one in the gallery (IS200) then YES!! that is exactly what I want! Where can i get one? Suits your car nicely, just like the white wheels! I read somewhere you're getting white housing tail lights. NICE! Where can i get clear fog lights?

CHROME!

I am not coming to any meets till i've been supercharged coz u lot will just thrash me!:D Thanks to mat for the links though! Should be getting it done as soon as i rob the bank..my car needs a rear spoiler..anyone have any suggestions or contacts?
