However as the Lexus is a bit more technical that what I used to drive, I would really appreciate it if someone could post a pic of where the panel filter is in the engine, I have searched the forum but not been able to find a pic. Any help would be appreciated.

It's on the engine cover where the Lexus logo is, unclip the "clips" at the front and back of it.

im up in Scotland not sure if anyone does it here then?But i guess lexus will do it

FYI, Lexus got the geo wrong in the first place thus creating the inner tyre wear problem, and dealers aren't allowed to deviate from the official settings so it will just be wrong.

Consult WIM for the stats and bring it to a garage with the facilities to make geo adjustments, or check if there is a WIM approved garage near you

In case if you don't know WIM, CLICK HERE.

Whoever is organising this might want to start a thread over at the "group buy" forum, might make it easier for those interested to register their.... interest?

Oh and add me to the interest list.

Since I haven't seen any more pics yet, thought I will upload the rest I've got, I didn't get everybody's name so feel free to fill them in.

Kazi and a MR2 from Ultrajap, the Jag just happened to be there.

L to R - Kazi (black), MR2 (red), i_love_my_is200 (white), me (blue)

3 more MR2s from Ultrajap.

Another angle, with i_love_my_is200 in foreground.

Rikos (left, royal sapphire blue) & me (right, Stratcaron blue)

Kazi's engine bay, impressive!

If you lift the boot up by hand does it stay up or does it just fall down???Im looking at fitting a bigger spoiler on the boot soon and i might need to uprate the lifters??My boot spoiler will be up for sale if anyone interested

Stays up once opened, but I'm planning to add a lip spoiler too. However, I haven't found this other thread regarding the "boot lifter kit", would anyone mind pointing me towards the right direction with this?

It appears that after applying a layer of paint sealent and a number plate holder to my boot, its open mechanism hasn't got the strength to pop the boot up anymore. Does anyone know if some sort of adjustment can be made to resolve this? I have tried WD40ing the joints but no luck.

Once again it's pretty close, and if watching is free the more reason I should attend.

Quick question, does one only need to purchase tickets for doing runs, so watching is free as it states on the site "grandstand seats are free"?

It's done (in smoked chrome) at www.lap-tab.co.uk, pic below from Midlands meet 13/4.

My 2nd meet, and again a very good one too. Some pics of my car only at the meet, so not hog too much space and let others show their pics too.

ATARI AND LEXUS TEST DRIVE NEW CARS

As part of the Company’s new relationship with Lexus, Atari has released the Lexus GS 450h hybrid-powered luxury sport sedan and Lexus LS 460 premium luxury sedan on Xbox Live Marketplace for free download. Additional Lexus vehicles coming soon to Test Drive Unlimited include the SC 430 hard-top convertible and the all-new 2008 LS 600h L, the world’s first full hybrid V8 luxury sedan. The LS 600h L will reach Lexus dealer showrooms later this Spring.

A new benchmark for racing games, Test Drive Unlimited is racing reinvented.

Just to confirm that I will be attending.

Anyone interested in some multiplayer achievement points for TDU please contact me.

Oh and feel free to add me to your X360 friends list!

Might be worthwhile making that flyer downloadable (as a pdf?) so we can print them out if needed.

HOWEVER, new problem- car gets to 110 and maxes out!

I hope you aren't testing this out on public roads :o

How bad are the dents? If the paint isn't scratched/scuffed then it can probably be SMART repaired.

I'm in to show my support, but best to post this in the club meet section as well.

Pretty smart holder that mate. Not seen that on the market tbh. Good work...

I think jay m got this one, you can purchase it from http://shop.dashmount.co.uk/consoles/lexus.asp.

A used one was sold on eBay for £28ish + p&p.

what's the maximum legal transmission percentage for front window tints (i.e in front of the b-pillar)??

The legal maximum tint is NONE (as your car windows are already slightly tinted, any additional tinting is therefore likely over the 30% limit) in front of b-pillar, a recent news report on BBC Look East shows police pulling vehicles over for tint offenses, so they are not kidding.

Info summed up nicely here

What do you guys think of anthracite alloys on a Strathcaron Blue IS200?

I'm considering refurbishing my alloys, and I thought maybe I should get them coloured to something else at the same time. I have seen anthracite alloys on black cars on other threads and they look quite sharp, but what do you think if they go on a Strathcaron blue car?

Use prices from Lexus Hanley when asking for quotes from dealers, a nearby dealer who originally quoted £400 was willing to lower it by a £100 after I mentioned it :D , although my nearest dealer was unwilling to budge at £380 , guess who got my business

Look forward to attending this one.

The driver side wiper blade is 22", passenger side 19", any standard wiper blades would do. Get them locally at Halfords or the internet, I used www.wiperblades.co.uk and got some Trupart flat wiper blades, results pretty good but a tad expensive compared to the conventional ones, eBay has quite a few selections as well.

You are looking more at £10 a pair for the conventional ones or £20 for those retrofit flat ones that looks like the ones fitted to new cars nowadays, nowhere near the £35 from the st/dealers. Check my registry if you want to see a pic of the flat blades.

Well Auto Express might have messed up the pic, but at least their latest Driver Power results is very favourable for the old IS, still the winner of the compact exec class!
