Thanks for all your replies.... ...but which are better????? Not wanted for trackdays, just general bombing around. Wanna stay in my seat playing with roundabouts,,,, lol. Thanks..

Hi all, Have unsuccessfully searched for anti-roll bars for RS200 Tezza. ....Can any of you advise to the best manufacturer, price and stockists....... Don't want to stiffen the suspension, ....just wanna stop the car falling over in corners. Thanks in advance.......

I need a 3-socket uk spec head-unit, ....but mine is a bottom-loader cd unit. Would your one fit in my dash????

After spending too long searching for Altezza Caliper decals, and not wanting to 'downgrade' to the lexus design, I have gone for having some custom ones made.... see link.... https://www.vinzdecals.com/createcaliper.html $10/£7, with worldwide free postage...... Reasonable, so I am giving them a go... Will post some piccys here when and fitted.

Will be doing my belt and all pulleys in the next few days. Looks straightforward. Dual as single, just line the cams to there respective marks. Parts as listed... http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=33588 Will let you know how I get on with it.

Lexus at Southend can/will carry out any work. They are also very quick at getting all Altezza parts. Cambelt was cheaper at Lexus than Fensport, ....for your info. Lexus would quote £480 as they will replace all belt tensioners and pulleys. Just bought the whole lot from them cost £256, so add couple hours labour, £480 is reasonable. Hope you changed tensioner and idlers when doing your belt change.

Parts prices, Lexus (southend) ....these are vat inclusive prices..... Cambelt £26.70 Tensioner £37.76 Idler Pulley 1 £44.45 Idler pulley 2 £75.90 Aux belt pulley £52.29 Hope this helps......

Looked behind glove box, no amp to be found there.... will take h-u out at weekend and take pics of the connections then.......

I have the Electronic Parts Catalog and there is definitely a difference between the AT and MT engines... Some differences on the cam and valve components. Would suggest engine-ecu and gearbox change if going for the manual... ...Did also read somewhere that the manuals are more prone to failing emissions regs.... Hope this helps...

Not looked for amp yet, sorry, been too busy friggin'.......... lol. Will look tomorrow. Shall not keep you in suspense too much longer...... Cheers for your attention.......

Warning to others!!!! Japanese Imports(UK) Ltd...... They are based in Southend (Leigh-on-sea) Essex. Bought my freshly imported Rs200 from them.... Two weeks after its apparent m.o.t. I had to make them replace all brake pads, f/r, as Lexus informed me all had just 1mm. lining left. Also had to have rear shocks changed.... leaking, and the rear bushes. And guess what, their mot's are carried out at their mates test centre, just across the road. Have since reported the test centre to the DVLA, but unfornately did not do it quick enough to get them bollocked. Car was apparently serviced when they received it from VOSA, but have since had to change oil, gearbox oil, steering fluid, as all were black treacle, and air, oil, pollen, and gearbox filters. Hope this helps prevent others from making same mistake as myself. These people are untrustworthy. Be warned. :tsktsk:

Can't get the link to work..... keeps coming up with an error, any chance you can give me more details of this headunit. Cheers :winky:

Not sure how many have entered the Uk, but according to my local Lexus dealer, there was only 57,000 produced, thats going by the chassis nos.

Not giving up on this headunit problem!!!!!!!! I have a 2000 rs200 Altezza..........? If you have a bottom loading UK lexus headunit working, could i please have the model nos.... <_<

Thought that it may be aircon pump. When stripping down for cambelt change, gonna run car with the two auxillary belts removed. rule out the bolt-ons that way. Will keep you informed..... Thanks......
