  1. ...In which it probably says that your rear indicator lights are a PY21W (or 7507). Good suggestion fluffmeister! :)
  2. Ok, the rear indicator bulbs are 7507A, which are offset bayonet connections. You can get these in silver from eBay too: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7507A-silve...sspagenameZWD2V Before you all go spending money on bulbs based on what I've said - can anyone who actually has an IS please confirm that I'm not fibbing?
  3. No, the rear ones are something different. I'll look at work tomorrow if I remember and let you know. But yes, the side ones are W5W, I'm sure.
  4. Are you looking for these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7440-7440A-...sspagenameZWD2V Just search eBay for "7440A"
  5. Yep, when I was looking around Tokyo Express was the best place. The exhausts are cheaper in the USA, but importing and paying duty and VAT works out about the same, so you're as well off just getting one from TE. Good job!
  6. Ok, great thanks! I see from his Garage that's the case. I've sent him a PM. Appreciate the info!
  7. Hi guys, I feel stupid asking, but what are the widest wheels anyone's got on an IS? I expect 8.5" are straightforward, are they? But has anyone got anything over 9" tucked under their rear arches? I know some people have wide body kits on their ISs which probably make a difference, but if anyone's got any ideas? Another way of putting it - can you get 8.5" on the front and 9.5" on the rear? Thanks, Al
  8. I like 'em. Where did you get that kit, and how easy did you find them to fit? ...and would YOU receommend them?
  9. He is, but I appreciate the likeness, thanks guys! (It's me)
  10. Yes, as someone said - ebay but you can get them from here WAY cheaper: eBay UK link I don't know what these "7000k" kits are like, but I'm sure you can get them going just fine and they'll look ok. Depends if you want a kit from someone like http://www.lextasy.com and pay more for them or just get a cheap set and give them a go. Good luck - let us all know how they turn out.
  11. Ok, if anyone else is interested, or was thinking about a big brake kit and hasn't considered this - I've emailed several UK suppliers of this kit in the UK and posed the question. Hopefully they'll let me know which replacement pads should be bought, where sells them, how much they are and they should also be legal UK versions. When I know - you'll know. I'll post the replies.
  12. The problem is the Brembo GT kits come with illegal pads that contain asbestos. You can't use those in the EC. Would other pads from other manufacturers fit do you suppose? Or do Brembo in the UK sell pads that don't contain asbestos perhaps? These are the kits from the USA which have pads with asbestos.
  13. Hi guys, When you buy a big brake kit for any car, such as Brembo GT, AP Racing, KAD, StopTech etc. etc. how do you know what brake pads you need to fit to these kits when it comes to replacment? I guess it would be really dumb to assume you can just go and get brake pads for an IS if you've changed the calipers, so I guess there must be some that fit these, but how do you know? Any suggestions appreciated. Perhaps when you get the kit, the instructions/manual that comes with them specify which pads need to be bought - but I don't know how pads are specified either, so... Anyone? Thanks! Al
  14. It seems that the memories are stored on a computer under the seat (that was only on seats in post 2004 cars in the US) This link to a thread on my.is shows a guy who fitted newer seats to his older car which seems pretty straightforward: Link Although obviously you would need to source a seat and the memory switch from the US and then fit it over here (assuming that there are no differences between the UK and US seats) Let us know how you get on if you do decide to do it, cos it would probably be the first in the UK :) Wow, thanks for the reply - nice find. If I get this off the ground then I'll let you know how it goes. I don't have a car yet, but at only $400 I might source the seats sooner rather than later if I can get some. Thanks for taking the time to look. I searched my.is and didn't find that, so well done! Al,
