You aren't the only one mate, I can't imagine the Lexus not being in my life.

Just a quickie, looks like we have a new sponsor on LOC ? I for one am not looking forward to the convoluted arguements (however eloquent) that will follow this development. I would also not be looking forwards threads where members fuel gauges are not working or have dash lights removed. I would hazard a guess many other LOC members would also feel the same way. Oh well here goes the neighbourhood...........again :tsktsk:

Now stop surfing, & get drinking cos it's your Birthday !!

Chris can you give John a shout next time he is on ?

will try to attend (albeit briefly) :)

Look up, the answer is there somewhere

Can we confirm the Date & Time ? I will try to get to this, but will only be there for a short while again if it's on the Sunday as I am back in London for a Gig.

IMO the Rear 6x9's should only be used as rear fill. After all, you don't go to a concert and have your back to the sound coming from the stage do you ? If the bass has no port through to the inside of a saloon car, the pressure wave changes when a bass note hits in the boot, means the back of the 6x9's will take a real hammering, unless of course they are in some kind of own enclosure (which they are not on the IS200). The bass from the subs may be pushing the cone in the wrong direction to the way it is moving, ie out of phase causing distortion/possible damage. An easy way around this problem and keeping the 6x9's for rear fill, is to remove the ski hatch. It unbolts very simply & comes out in one piece, and can be put back easily when it comes time to sell your car. (CLICK HERE to see how to remove the rear seat - then the ski hatch just simply unbolts) Armrest up or down seems fine after that, though of course be aware anything loose in your boot may find itelf a portal to do damage under heavy braking. However if you fit you sub/subs so they fire through the ski hatch, problem solved :D With many people upgrading to DVD systems, the rear fill effect is very much worthwhile IMO. 60-80% of the sound should still come from the front components, though this is variable to personal taste and also the source media. Also it does keep rear passengers happier too, depending on how often they are in your car.

Several members including Yaumeister and Waynejordan02 have kept the stock Head Unit, and replaced the standard Front Speakers with Alpines exactly the same as I have in mine. The dynamat will make a big difference to the sound, as will the speaker upgrade. Whatever component's you buy at a good quality level £70^ (Alpine/Mb Quart/Kenwood etc), they will normally come with a crossover. This can be attatched with big sticky pads to the door. As for the baffle, the standard door speaker in the IS200 is part of the baffle/mounting ring. You can make your own with some 18mm MDF (trace around the speaker you have removed), or you can buy some plastic vectra door spacers from Hellfrauds, but if you have a jigsaw then DIY MDF spacers is a more solid solution :)

Any news ?

oh that's a slippery slope and and can get to be an expensive one too !!

I did the last two at short notice as firstly Ace had their own "Lexus Night", and also another car club pulled out on another date, hence we were given the chance to have the December meet. All the details were passed on to Johnboy(LOC Meets Organiser) of the relevant meets organiser @ the Ace Cafe. I know they do have a very busy schedule, which normally is organised months in advance. However I must admit I am suprised we haven't had another slot given to us as we filled the car park on two occasions at fairly short notice. Maybe they just need chasing up to show how eager we are :D I'd suggest someone pm's John to ask Ace for an update & light a rocket up a backside or two.

That's the most honest and truthful comment I've ever heard on this forum from an iPhone owner :)

Have a Terrific Birthday Dude !!

Looks very similar, either way looks very nice IMO :)

ooops another iPhone let down :o

Adrian you will love the TTE anti-roll bars the best :D :D

DJ @ Friar Street somewere on a Saturday night

VVProtocolVV please let me know where your town is, I wanna be in the next part of your story :lol: I don't think what you have written is what LexusMag is after but worth a try I guess my 98,000 mile 2001 Auto Supercharged IS200SE with massive boot sound install & custom Sat-nav Housing with multi DVD & reverse camera probabaly isn't what they are after either :0 but whilst they are listenening I will say Lexus Sidcup is a nice dealership, especially the Service Dept :D

^^^what Redz said^^^ plus this is now completely open as it is public information on a forum. I'd suggest if anyone was going to do such a naughty :o fraudulent :tsktsk: thing they would be much muc much more discrete about it......:winky:

Have a great day dude !!

I just looked up via my own set-up and the Logitech Harmoney 555 does cover your device, but I can't help as to wether it has the functionality you need for Multi Region ? If you can borrow a remote that is working, it can learn from that remote any extra functions you may need... currently with free delivery @ Dixons for £53.73 I hope this helps mate :)

I'd suggest as Redz said contact JVC, and see if you can get the correct lead, if not, you will need to get the crimper/soldering iron out and make your own solution.
