Fever

Well guys and girls the wheels are finally on!!!! What do you all think?? I know the gap between the wheels and arches is not accpetable, however, the Eibach's in my garage should take care of that very soon!!! I will post some better pics once they are fitted!! B) http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/alb...um01/FeversLEX9 http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/alb...um01/FeversLEX8 Hope those links work... Sorry I couldn't make to the Cotswolds today! Hope you've all had a good one!! Neil

Just here for the day Stephen.... <<----upside-down

Yep I agree with TonyGoose

Happy Birthday Matey.... :hocus-pokus: Hope you've had a good day!!

Gonna be a bad influence.....get on that phone Si Matt will be pulling away ohterwise......!!!

Sorry to hear that mate!!! It's the worst feeling when you do it...makes you feel sick!! Hope you can get it sorted soon!!

Nice choice Javadudewill look sweet....... .....by the way, if you are still in deciding mode, be carefull of League alloys...especially the Hyper Black finish....they have had to recall a load of stock, the finish has been flaking off the wheels in their range. They are not fantastic quality!! Defo stick with the Kosei's!!!! B)

WOW...top draw!!! B) Not sure if that bonnet is going to be very aero-dynamic though.....

Look great mate.....very nice choice!! B) I should be roling with my 18's and Eibachs by the end of the weekend too!! B) Neil

mmmmm more tasty than Kylie's butt in a pair of hotpants....... Hold on a sec, what am i saying...not quiet that tasty......but a close second!! :D

What do you guys think of this small engine mod...... http://www.i-m-racing.com/tomlowtemthe.html would it work with the UK IS200..??? Neil

Yep...defo get onto them and let them know about it!!! The same happened to me on one of my old cars. I got into an accident and the insurance company wouldn't pay up due to modifications I hadn't claimed!! Cheers - Neil

Oh just thought i'd give you a few clues till i post pics! Well they are round.... :D ummm, 18" Oh ok they are Hyper Black, much like the finish on yours Zee! That will do for now!!!

Ok....I have clamed down now!! The company have actually been very helpful in sorting this out...so i guess i'll take back some of my heated posting... <_< The proper wheels and tyres will be with me on Wednesday so should be on by Thursday / Friday latest! :) B) That makes me feel better!! Cheers - Neil <<--------Getting happier again bunny!! :)

Right NO piccies at all.....in fact NO wheels on my car this weekend!!!!!! grrrrrr!!!!!! I got home last night....opened the boxes......and not only did i find the wrong wheel, but to top it all off they had the wrong tyres aswell!!!!! Complete and utter dickheads!!!! I'm so ****** off that i'm getting a refund and taking my business elsewhere!!! I was all excited too.......by the way, so that my weekend is not totally dissappionting.....can I fit the springs first and wheels at a later date when I get them sorted? Cheers Neil <<------- A not at all happy bunny!!

Thanks Zee me old mucca!! And of course piccies will be taken!! :D :D :D

Took delivery of my new 18's today....they are sitting in my garage next to the Eibach's as we speak!! Should have it all up and running by the end of the weekend!! :D :D Also just out of interest...after the wheels and springs go on, would it be a good idea to the the balance and tracking done..??? Cheers - Neil <<------- Very happy bunny!!

Right fellas...thanks for the advise!! That answers my question, Goodyears or Dunlops it is then!!!!

Hey Zee....there is other choices mate, but looking on the net...Nankang do get some good write-ups....

I have finally decided on the alloys i am going for.....can't tell you all which ones yet though! The company I am getting from them has done me a very good deal! 18's fitted and balenced with locking nuts for an excellent price! The only thing I am questioning is the tyres! They are going to be 225 /40 /18, which is what I wanted, but the brand is Nankang! They are Goodyear F1 style tread, but can anyone advise if they have used or had knowledge on the brand and if they are any good?? Obviously I can upgrade but the present price they have for me is excellent!! Thanks as always - Neil

After Gaydon last Sunday......I knew it would be a bad influence on me......i am spending some cash on my baby!! Yesterday i ordered Eibach Springs...the Pro Kit jobbies, they will be here tomorrow!! Just in the final stages of deciding on some 18's...got to get it right, so taking my time on those!! And finally a rear spoiler....but thats going to be a secret till i get it! My wallet is kicking me in the ***** as we speak!!!!!!

Yeah Zee....getting a bit worried about you on Sunday mate....it almost sounded like your where thinking about changing sides..... <_< It's very hard to compair the two! The only likeness, is they are both made in Japan!! :) Nothing stamps authority and damands respect like a lex though!! A few select styling mods and driving through a town centre on Friday night....heads always turn!! Lex everytime!!!

Fantastic day guys!! Great to be there and meet everyone....put faces to names and be part of the crew!! B) Thanks to Si for the ride in his damn quick machine.....brakes were just as awesome when decelerating from 125mph to the legal speed limit..... :o neh nor neh nor :D Zee just wanted to say mate, your motor looks fantastic in the flesh!!! Looking forward to the next one!!! :D

Ok everyone, further to what I explained at the top of the following previous post... http://lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.p...ST&f=50&t=4568& .....I took my car to the garage last Friday. A mechanic came out with me to have a listen to the noise I have been noticing. As the little squeaking noise made an apperance, he immediately said that's part of the exhaust rubbing (engine end) and he was definate about it!! I said could anything be done to fix it, he said it happens quite a bit on the IS200's and there isn't anything they can really do about it! However, he said he can have a go at it if I want, but there was no definate chance that the noise/problem could be fixed...??? I just wanted to know if a that sounds right and also has anyone else heard of or experienced such a thing?? Cheers - Neil
