Possibly a faulty earth somewhere causing the strange light effects and a draining of power going to the engine

The Project : Is200 By Niraj
stuie replied to Niraj's topic in Lexus Audio/Video/Electronics/Security
Great install however a couple of questions Why power caps? you have enough battery power there to run a small country I would personally take them out as they wont help voltage stability. I would personally also re think the kit used the rainbow comps are awesome but coupling them with the 6*9s kenwood and and those subs is going to waste what great potential they have. Great installation skills though I would never have the guts to do that to my car -
wrong its for all hid's fitted auto levelling and washers are needed
-
You dont need a conversion kit you just need bulbs

Need Help Changeing My (99) Sat Nav To New (05) One
stuie replied to N23733's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
Why would you have to replace all the cables? Cant you just swap out the unit? -
Your happy paying 2k a year insurance? WOW!!! As for fuel 50 quid should get you about 300 mile on a decent trip but not much more I wouldnt have thought. I wouldnt be put off having an 85K plus car however make sure its had its belt changed and see if the water pump was done at the same time. Other faults would include ball joints so have a nosy around there for movement etc. Lastly check the inside tire wear the geometry was out from factory which causing inside tyre problems so check them out. Its an easy fix but something that should be looked out for

do you allow the system to prime before you start? What i mean is the wiring noise you get when you first turning the ignition on. I believe thats the injection system pressurising (it is on bikes anyway).

what year is yours? A 52 plate I dont think yours are the darker satin ones then

what year is yours?

Hi and welcome. Depending on what you want you can go for either the se or the sport the sport is a bit lower and has an lsd but thats about it. I terms of the general is200 questions they are very comfortable especially long distance they are extremely reliable however the know on effect to that is that they do drink fuel and when it comes to fixing and servicing what little does need changing does cost a bit. No more than merc or bm just probably a bit more than general motors
-
I was thinking more that the cars that suffer with lower fuel consumption also seem to be younger and have less miles on them
-
it would have started life at around 156bhp it would have lost some by now though
-
Just a thought could you all write down how old you car is how many miles its done and what sort of life its had mostly motorway etc and also when was it last serviced and was it a big or little service mines an 05 plate has done 32K was serviced at 30K I dont know what sort of life it had but im guessing motorway and it know does the 5 miles commute to work and back
-
Its a shame ep racing dont have any prices on their site
-
when is it needed by?
-
im going to take a sub par educated guess here and say that fixing the geo will reduce your mpg. more of the tyre on the road means it has more grip, which i guess in turn means more effort to roll it. i think hot weather has something to do with economy... ive had mine for 4months now, and i was used to getting 400miles out of 60ltrs [light comes on for last 10ltrs], but the last 2 tank fulls, im getting only 320ish... ive lost nearly 20% in mpg. odd really! Id say hotter temperature would lower fuel usage as the air is warmer and less dense in turn cousing you to use more fuel in winter

Theres 4 settings for the normal lights off, sidelight, low beam and auto. Try the auto option and see if that helps as that will make sure the right ones come on at the right time
