  1. ask about on here i bought mine for £50 and swapped my lip spoiler with somone with a plain bootlid so i didn't have to rip the lip spoiler off to fit my hoop.. just keep your eyes open :D
  2. mine done that when 1 of my coilpacks started to go, still worked but was loosing a power on 1 cylinder, replaced coil and went out, might wanna check them
  3. im glad i do it all myself, spark plugs on any car are cheap and easy to do, most people who can lift a socket set could do it with a little thought and following a guide...
  4. awww im sorry mate, im just saying whats the harm in having them on when no other cars are about, ie dark country lanes, it does help, and yes i do rag it down country lanes, (also shows up the bumps gonna go over, and surface water... i use them alot because i find they help me. Ive had cars on country lanes oncomming leaving there full beam on which completely blinds anyone coming the other way, lower fogs dont dazzle in the same way. but can help light up the road you know. and even though they show up 1-2ms either side of the car and at high speeds wont make a huge differnce, but at lower speeds around town they help, a while back i avoided a cat cos i see it run beneath a car out in front of me, it gave me that extra split second to hit the breaks... and with the lexus breaks this makes a huge difference. personally i think they should be allowed in certain conditions, ie fog, or dark country lanes, unlit streets. and yes they look cool ;)
  5. yea.. they no longer make them... i ordered 1 with my wheels, 2 months later phone call saying they dont make them and they'll refund me...
  6. woooooo all done, sounds great now, haha i could just kiss you all :D
  7. LSD on my sport seems to be enough, can drift not massively, if i had 200 - 250bhp would be enough to keep a good drift going i recon... in the right hands
  8. yup :D cheers, i understand now cheers matey
  9. Theres a black one by itself at the back, just attach that to a switched 12v as far as i know yea i read that, my lex also has an old nokie phone thing, and 2 aftermarket stereos so its a bit of a mess behind the dash... lots of wires connected all over the place, plus 2 silly fuse box things and a thing to make the sat nav work without standard head unit, so im a bit lost
  10. where would it normally plug into? the standard stereo? and do i connect the thicker or thinner wire to the switchign live? cheers
  11. Im still on my search... more like quest to find this splitter, does anyone have 1 i could copy? or know where i can get 1? i think its called blitz areospeed front lip thing cheers
  12. would fog lights still be illegal if they wheren't as bright? ie putting a lower watt bulb in so there like side lights??? i dont like fog lights on some cars, but the spacing on the lexus being at the edges of the bumpers does look good, you must admit :P
  13. i have exact same problem, which wire do i splice into the switching live?
  14. ok i agree fog lights are illegal, but i do use them when its dark, ie country lanes or narrow streets, they light up the sides of the road better so can see people / animals that may run into the roads. i once asked old bill why fog lights are illegal when being pulled over for having them on, they said because it dazzles other drivers, i've looked at other cars with fog lights on and theyt dont dazzle me, what dazzles me is the old fart leaving his full beam on all the time. fog lights aint bright enough to dazzle the car in front, and they aim at the ground anyway. its a bit of a perfectic law to be honest. oh and i was let off because i came off country lanes where it was foggy and they couldn't prove 1 way or the other so they couldn't do me :D
  15. ive found arguing doesn't help at all, best to say yes sir no sir 3 bags full sir and the usually let you off with a warning.. i was pulled over in a 50 for doing 88 at 2am, with no one on the road (this was in my old rover) checked my details atc and showed me the video, i said i just wanted to open her up as haven't for a while, being honest with them and they just let me off with a warning. old bill seem to be more interested in chavs driving around in fiestas all modded up, rather than a "classier" lexus you know
  16. living in essex ive seen so many plates that are just completely illegal, i mean with font that i can bearly read sitting behinf them in traffic, all squiggerly and stupid, my font and letters are the right size, ive got a boarder around the outside with lexus which wont effect the ANPR, and teh front is about 3/4 the size of a standard plate. Considering stolen cars, hit and runs, people being dragged out of there cars and beaten up and getting there cars robbed i think my plates are a minor offence, if im dragged out my car and its stolen theres little the old bill will do, happens alot around here and the police would rather sit there with a speed gun and catch you doign 75 in a 70 than chase someone whos actuallyt done something wrong.
  17. if you just goto a car shop and show them your lexus nuts and describe what size you need they'll have them most likely, might have to try a larger shop mind you
  18. i dont seem to be get any police attention with my L3 XSC and my front plate is half the size it should be... touch wood
  19. i seem to have missed this post aswell! im lost for words! im just :( because loads and loads fo the pictures aren't working
