  1. Let us know which issue is your article being published, will pop down to newagent and get a copy.
  2. Are you getting Supaglass or normal tints from Pentagon?
  3. It's "Traffic Cops" on BBC1, watched the same program myself.
  4. Ok.... I will try to measure the before/after per the claims on the site, going to keep an eye on these factors for the next week or so. Disclaimer, all opinions subjective in case if someone asks me for stats. 1 thing I have noticed, the car seem to handle fuel cuts a little more smoothly then before. increased hp* increased torque* improved fuel efficiency stabilised idle brighter lights quicker engine starts reduced emissions reduced audio noise better protection from potential engine damage from poor ECU outputs *This always creates a lot of debate - the generally accepted theory is that installation of an earthing kit can restore lost power/torque, where the loss is due to inefficient earthing, due to age, wear & tear etc. You might not realise your car is running short on power because of an earthing issue, but when a grounding kit fixes this you'll notice.
  5. For only £40 what sort of noticeable gains are people looking for? Might try to help others by comparing my before and after, although as I said and as stated on their own website, I don't think any improvements will be very "noticeable" or "significant".
  6. All, Since the LOC isn't officially attending the JTS show, anyone who is interested to attend can potentially tag along with the Toyota Owners Club. http://toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78503 Please register your interest so a club stand can be arranged, thank you. Prolex (Dave) will be participating in Time Attack at the event. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=50179 JTS http://www.japanesetuningshow.co.uk/
  7. For future reference, service provided by www.archenemy.co.uk is excellent. The service can also be arranged via WIM if you happen to go there for a geo calibration or other work.
  8. The TOC is again having a club stand at JTS this year, signup over there if interested. http://toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=78503
  9. Why aren't there racing lines painted on the track Damn played too much Forza 2. I'm interested!
  10. If anyone is interested, 1 is available on ebay, but the tyre looks pretty bald from the pic, and probably hard to get a replacement tyre due to the odd size. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/17-Toyota-Space-Save...emZ330232061693
  11. What I did was order from Lexus a pair of spray jets in white (most neutral colour), and a can of spray paint (well I did from my local Toyota dealer, apparently the Yaris also use 8N8, but known as Oasis Blue instead). Paint also useful for painting parking sensors and other small bits. Just make sure you cover up the black rubber bits when spraying!
  12. I finally got round to fitting mine, can't say I have noticed a significant difference yet :duh:
  13. Happy to attend again as long as I'll not be the only Lex there :winky:
  14. I agree they need to be darker, as you said anthacrite/gunmetal, and as you may have noticed I'm going for the dark theme (black head lamps, smoked front fogs, dark rear lamps). I chose tyre sizes per LOC wheel size guide, and using a tyre size calculator, 225/40/18 have nearly the exact same diameter as 255/35/18. I realise they are 255/40/18 on the IS250, and they are ok on your car, but as mine is lowered I chose to be more conservative with the size. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...p?showtopic=637
  15. They are supposedly smoked chrome, but compared to my original refurbished "smoked chrome" rims, they almost look silver. Next time need to have yours next to mine to see if they are really smoked chrome or not. I plan to get them redone in the same colour as my last ones once they need refurbishing (hopefully I won't curb them too soon). Falken FK452. 225/40/18 front, 255/35/18 rear. Money-wise, it seem reasonable to me, they were off ebay.
  16. Are people sure the beeper is in the c-pillar? As it sounds like the sound is coming from the front in my car. I want to disable it as I have a reverse parking sensor kit fitted and that beeps too.
  17. Wozza, this might look oddly familiar to you. My bad
  18. Might want to check with TOC as they had a club stand there last year, and I managed to squeeze my Lexus in, Prolex might be doing his TA then?
  19. That's my car in the arch rolling pics :D
  20. Anybody know the postcode for the back entrance to the club stand?
  21. Anyone know the size of this small spare in the tezza? Wheel/Tyre profile?
  22. Pinned thread at top of forum regarding Euro Meet. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=47358 Current attendees from UK: Prolex-UK Yaumeister Current plan is for UK convoy to set off on Eurotunnel at noonish from Folkstone on Friday 4/7, make own way back as some are staying in Europe for longer vacation, or go round the Ring several times.
  23. The wheel size guide pinned at the top of this forum is a good guideline. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...p?showtopic=637 However, as you stated your vehicle has a 60mm drop, I suppose your options will be fairly limited, unless you are willing to do something with your arches.
