Oh by the way don't forget, if you do opt for bigger 18"ers then your car WILL look soo much cooler but 18" tyres are more expenseive than 17"... just something to bear in mind...

I've heard some bad things about Rota Wheels cos i was compelled to buy them for they're price tag (very cheap) and their designs (very nice) but searching on the Internet for Rota wheels i stumbled across some other car forums which revealed that Rotas are quite Cheaply made too and as a result they can't handle much stress especially if you want to do some sportier driving maneuvers on the road or track the alloys will crack and break at the spoke seperating the hub from the outer rim and you'll be left with an expensive repair bill that is unless you haven't crashed and died. I value my life more than my car or my wallet so i'd opt for a more trusted brand.

2 Lady Owners?? Hmm... Have you noticed the contact details on the PistonHeads ad? Please contact... mohammed imran!! What a joke!

Hi guys, I've seen a picture of an Altezza with a front lip which i find realy nice but have no idea what it is or where i can get one from, does anyone have any clues? the link is here: http://www.sideways.cz/cars/bazar-toyota-a...fine-daily-car/

http://typerkits.com/index.php?option=com_...1&Itemid=66 bit more expensive than EP, but they do a version with a carbon lip that looks fab :) I noticed it states that it comes with all the teimmings (grill, fog lights and mesh), maybe the one EP Racing supplies doesn't come with these, I'm not sure as i forgot to ask when i E-mailed them for the quote...

Perfect timing! I am considering getting one of them too! Just to let you guys know, I Emailed EP Racing a couple of weeks back for a quote and they said "The Lexus IS200 TR-Style front bumper is £210 + £25 carriage within UK mainland." I was also thinking, even if the FRP copies aren't perfect, you're not gonna be the one spraying and fitting them will you? I'm sure you, like myself intend on leaving that job to the professionals, the body shop, who will make it fit perfectly for you, all you need to be worried about is whether you can foot the bill. so I'd say you should look for a good body shop as the priority than if the FRP bumper is perfect cos it's not, even if it were perfect, i doubt we'd be paying £200 for it if you know what i mean... but anyway i'd be interested in the group buy if it works out...

Hi guys, I need to replace my exhaust so i was wondering if anyone living in the Kent area had a standard or performance exhaust they want to sell... Anyone?

thanks guys.

Nocturnal has a point, most sports cars produced are generally set to understeer alittle at first rather than oversteer instantly for safety reasons. Usually road testers in magazines like Evo do mention this point in the cars they test but they usually just counter the understeer effect by putting in more throttle, I suppose it's a good thing because you learn to control the car so it does what you want rather than it biting you at every corner and roundabout, next thing you know you just crashed the car you spent thousands of pounds on... abit of a waste... and dangerous.

That engine bay look's sweet! I'm suprised everyone else with superchargers don't put the old panels back in to cover everything up cos without them the engine isn't a exactly pretty sight and looks even more of a mess with all the modded bits everywhere. Style and substance... i like it. B)

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows the answer to this, are the standard exhaust systems on the S, SE and Sport all the same?

Hi guys, i've been very very tempted by this Cobra exhaust that's on E-bay, has anyone else got one of these? any insights as to the quality? sound in town and on motorways? any pics? Item number: 400032653612

Out of interest, how much did you want for it?

That looks absolutely excellent! What size are those wheels?

interesting bit of light being shed there, thanks guys. It's just a shame the manufacturers don't publish some sort of rating system to prepresent the damping rate so you can have a better understanding of just how much comfort you will be sacrificing for the sake of better handling and a more lower look. like spring rates on a new set of springs... cos once you bought and installed the system it's abit hard to change when you find that the ride is unbearable.
