Iv got a set of HSD's on my car and i cant fault them, car can sit like a tractor or it can drag its belly along the road, the difference between the hardest and softest settings is unreal too, set it to soft and it very comfortable, relaxed and smooth, set it to its hardest setting and u will feel every peice of chewing gum stuck to the road and realise just what a bollox job the UK does of looking after the road surface
I bought mines in the groupbuy so got them a tad cheaper, worth every penny id say :) BUY THEM ;)

Dave, From Fife in Scotland, Drive a 98 Altezza :)

Very nice, i quite like that :D
wouldnt the majority of cops pull u for this and accuse u of having defective lights?

brand new in primer from lex your looking at approx £160 for the rear trd lip.
Thats not as bad as i thought m8 :) i may try lex at newbridge unless u recomend anywhere else?
you could try a lexus garage or a toyota garage(you'll find a part number on here for it.)
just had a squint throo sections of the site but cant find a part no :( Can u point me in the direction?
Am i right in saying u work for toyota? Would it be possible for u to get me an exact price and the likes? I could come and pick it up and perve at your car too
-
My mate has a set of these on his A4 but i dont suppose they'd fit?

Nice pics !
Is that on standard suspension? Looks like you have got a lot of lean on it there.
Is this a Supercharged Sport or SE ?
How did this handle ?
Yea that was in june/July before i got my coilovers, it was running on TRD shocks and springs
Im not sure what model Asi's car is but it is a 'Charged one, has the sport Diff fitted and handled pretty well, could do with being a little stiffer!
-
Sorry to see you have got some drift scars there, hope you sort it soon !
How does the Altezza handle while drifting ?
Have you got any pics or vids ?
Ill get some pics for u when i get back onto my own pc m8, it didnt hadle to well with the suspension on it i had but since fitting coilovers it handles like a dream, need to raise it a bit at the front tho as my tyres were rubbing the arch when sliding on full lock, the only thing i reckon the Altezza lacks is power, id love to drift 1 with more power than mines, ideally if i had enough money id tubby or charge it and see how it went, but lacks of funds prevent me from these god things :( lol
I reckon the rear bumpers a gone'f but the from shud be ok with a small repair and some paint, 1 sideskirt needs painted and sealed back on too... Does any1 have a rough idea what sorta price im looking at to get a new rear lip?
Heres a few pics of it in action
Asi's car in action
Started the repairs on mines, got a 2nd hand bumper for £40 and managed to get a standard exhaust from Asi (Cheers dude) im looking at around £300 to get my front and back bumpers painted (with a slight repair) and 1of my sideskirts painted too

Use a really big hammer :)

What the hell Dave take it that happened after i went away???
well by the looks at the front bumper its repairable. im not to keen about the rear end mate but take it to a good body shop they might be able to tell you if thy can fix it. if the exhaust of the IS is the same then i have the one off my car and i could give you that if you want?
let me know how you get on mate
Yeah i managed to link up the 3rd and 2nd last corners into 1 big drift but due to lack of power i had to carry speeds of around 100mph, i done it perfectly 2wice then on the 3rd time i spun when changing direction, i hit the red metal gates and some tyres behind it lol
I should be able to source a bumper easily enough (not in yellow tho :( ) lol, if any1 knows of a good aftermarket exhaust for sale let me know please :) if a standard 1 fits urs may be a temporary answer Asi, ill let u know.
Exhaust is my main priority as i dnt wanna melt another bumper
Iv got a week of work next week so with a bit of luck (and some cashmonies) i shud be rolling around again next week..maybe!

Hi folks, in need of a rear bumper, TRD rear skirt and a good exhaust to mend my car
Cheers
Dave!

I was at a driftday yesterday and i had a big off, got off lighlty tho (No panel damage)
Heres a few pics i got of mines and Asi's car
Heres what my car looked like after i went through a gate and some tyres, i also lost the rear section of my axhaust
I stitched my car back up and headed out again, this time my back bumper suffered some death, not due to tyres but because my exhaust wasnt there the heat produced up behind my rear bumper was enough to melt it and make it bend back on itself :( I quickly managed to bend it back but it has a big crease in it and doesnt line up properly, also snapped my rear skirt
Front bumper is repairable im sure, any1 think the rear can be made decent with some heat?
Im also on the lookout for a rear section/backbox if anyone knows of any for sale, are the rear sections on the Altezza the same as the IS?
