I really do like that front bumper...

It was a company named "Quoteline" that produced amazing quotes on the website, but after trying to retrieve this quote over the telephone to save it for later that day, they said that the quote was £4500, which was over £3000 higher than initially quoted. When I said to them that the Internet was a bit of a deception (to gain access to address details and to phone them up etc), the chap on the other end of the phone said "Basically, yeah". I'm just glad I didn't complete the insurance online as I would've been ripped off. This is a 1.6 I must admit, however, I did my bit: The engine had been modified with Piper 285 d.d. high lift rally stage cams and was due for Jenvey trumpet throttle bodies... just before the engine went pop and I had to have a new one fitted. I was gutted as I had reached a state were it was the second most powerful 1.6 and had many further plans, but not too worry. It's currently fitted with a Milltek SS Manifold and straight through system but not much else tbh lol. Thanks a lot. I too think it's a little high. The car has been dropped 55mm on 18" Konig Theories. In my job, I use my car you see and some of the places I attend have quite a few speed bumps which restrict me to lowering it any further - unless I get hydraulics but that's a no no thanks Still a Ford ha, made me grin that. Indeed, it's everyone to their own at the end of the day - it would be a very boring world if we all liked the same......... or one massive party! :D Cheers for all the comments, Jamie

Very clean Altezza there. Nice pics as well. J

I took those photographs in the hills of Rivington and Belmont - Lancashire. I've got a rough spec of IS I want, just a case of finding one: an SE/Sport, Blue/Black, around 70-75k, dark / oakham interior. Had some bad news from the insurers as well - nearly ended up falling into a scam after a very competitive quote, putting plans back a month or so. Nothing stopping me getting the car though I suppose. We'll see. Thanks for the comment. Jamie

Good bit of mspaint'in there! J

Hi there all, Just thought I would share some photographs of my current car. No doubt it won't be to everyone's tastes, but when building it I tried to keep everything sharp and crisp, without going OTT for my preferences. Cheers, Jamie p.s: If this is in the wrong place, please could it be put in the correct location?

Hi there and welcome to the LOC, J

Welcome to the LOC, J

Hi there, Welcome to the LOC. J

Nice one, will try my best. J

The end of donner / kebab meat. Damn I'm weak for that stuff but have managed to hold out so far! Jamie

Looks bob-on that pal, J

Hello there, I don't have a Lexus as yet but was wondering if I could pop by for a nosey at some of the Lexi. I'm in Wigan myself and didn't realise there were so many locals. I've gotta find one soon! Jamie

Hi there, Welcome to the LOC. They're right: Modifying is an expensive yet healthy sin :D Jamie

Kind regards and all the best, Jamie

Yeah, they quote that on their website. I've gotta add though I've checked on the Lextasy website and I can't seem to find that particular spoiler. Jamie

Would be great to finally see a picky of one of these when it arrives! J

Nice one, any photos of the exhaust on? J

19 providing I get one soon

Done

Chuff me that is awful, every time there was an impact I flinched as the cost of damage and repars jusy kept going up and up! J

Hey there all, Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! My plans for the new year are to actually locate a Lexus for sale :D hopefully one will turn up soon! All the best, Jamie

Just want to ask a question regarding the Lexus engine...... The majority of the Lexus' that I have been looking at, with interest to possible purchase, have produced a small scuffling sound. It seems to be coming from the alternator belt but wondered if this potentially very bad or if most people found this on their own Lexus' and it isn't a problem? Maybe this only occurs when the engine is cold? I've no idea... I just don't want to be spending all that mahoney and end up buying a bag of plop :D If anyone can assist me with this, I would really appreciate it, as I don't know any of the more "trade secret" aspects of the car to check out - things that will cause problems if not known about or discovered early on........ That's if there are any! Thank you in advance for any help whatsoever. Cheers, Jamie

Despite what happened I am glad to hear that you are not seriously hurt and I do hope they find the d!ck that failed to stop....... retard. Keep us updated on the situation and I hope all turns out well... Regards, Jamie

Is that correct? Crikey that's a little more awkward than I considered. Not too worry though I thought there would've been a false roof to the underside of the boot area, which detached and allowed access. But obviosuly wrong! J
