i got mine from a guy that shipped it from HK on eBay.co.uk

I havent seen these in any of the model shops in the UK

cost me 51 quid for the kit

Thats one sweet ride :hohoho:

OOOH I wish I could make it to JAE, would love to race me mini lex :winky:

I finally got round to making my Kit and Boy is it fast!!

I put a top of the range Motor in and an Electronic speed controller to match and it fly's!!

I Need to Paint the finishing Touch on the Wing Mirrors

The paint was as close as I could find

Little and Large, Looks more than 10 times the size

well I spent 2 years learning Japanese so I'd be pretty stuck if they asked me anything in Japanese lol

make sure it will fit your car first tho

as the new style one would not fit in my 99 Is200

the connectors on the back are slightly different

and Welcome to the club Night-Time :D B)

never seen the inside of an RX but if it's anything like the IS200 then the rear speakers count as 2 each as they have a coaxial speaker and sub in one unit but they work indepently from each other :)

mines done 60k and only has one stone chip (that I have noticed) i think it was stopped in 2001 but not 100% sure

biiru (beer) the most import one :)

futastsu biiru kudasai ( two beers please)

any pix this time?

I would have been there only I was not in a fit state to drive after the night before

o genki desu ka

(how are you)

sumimassen (excuse me)

(yes)

iie (pronounced E E A)

(no)

its not impossible to do

if you want to keep the sat nav and use an aftermarket head unit you can

but you still need the factory head unit attached to the sat nav to make it work

so you need I think 4 wires the power ones for the head unit and there's 2 signal wires that need to be connected to the lexus head unit too

you can route the sound from the sat nav to your new head unit aux input.

I have seen someone do this on the is300.net site he extended the wires and installed the lexus headunit in the boot out of sight.

a load of messing around but at least it is a solution

Mine has just gone funny since the hot weather, it skips on discs and displays err1 most of the time . :(

I checked and my car is less than 4 years old (just) and Im taking it to see Mr Lexus

so im hoping to have a new head unit soon or buy into getting an aftermarket one perhaps.

I got Xbox Live with Soldier of Fortune 2 not the same but hey

It's alot cooler today and it still is playing up

Im just hoping my car is less than 4 years old will have to check when i get home

I used hammerite smooth on mine

bright red

really easy to use

but you have to apply extra coats within a couple of hours or else it starts to cure and then you need to wait 6 weeks before you can add more coats

after a few weeks i put on some white lexus stickers and used some clear lacquer to make sure the stickers dont come off

looks really good and is an easy mod to do

Since tuesday when it got really hot my cd player is no longer playing cd's that well

it either just skips thru the cd or displays Err1 on the display

anyone else had this problem?

Certain cd's still play fine and it seems to be CDR's that play better than originals :duh:

we used to stick plastics together at school with a very thin water like glue that stunk to high heven

no idea what it's called tho

but it came in a tin that made it look dangerous

I always compare mine with the big public ones and its usually about the same or one deg higher

so based on that I think its acurate-ish

there was some posts on the US forums showing the menu's etc and that was on the Lexus LS400 maybe same way for the land cruiser if its using the same system

there's a good chance that the language is stored on a chip and can be switched to Eng / JAP with the flick of a dip switch or jumper

but having never seen one of these items im not certain

but worth a look if you have a jap system and can get a decent scan of the circuit board, may also be able to change it with a software setting in the secret options screen.

Have a goodun Linda

I seem to remember seeing a post on the US forums about the diag screens and they had them translated

could be worth a search

can you take a clear photo of the Japanese text?

if so i'll have a go at translating it for you

Hiragana and katakana I can cope with but if its in kanji then im stuck lol
