They dont look bad at all.

Welcome to the boards

Im still looking for one...BUMP

yes

The larger the number in colour temperature doesn't have anything to do with brightness, it's the colour. Actually 12000K will probably be a very purple colour and won't be very bright at all. Something like 4500K is around the brightness used for OEM HIDs.

A lot of people (including myself) go for 6000K because although they'll be slightly less bright than 4500K, they're still very bright and have a slight hint of blue. Should be great for both on and off-road use.

Approved.

I use Raybrig 5000k. Has a little hint of blue as you look at them. But not directly at them, it will hurt your eyes. When driving, its bright white, with no blue hue.

6000k has a hint of blue while driving. White lines will glow blue hue around the edges

8000k and 10000k is almost similar. With deep dark blue and poor visibility down dark roads.

6000k is common than 5000k. Since I got mine from Japan.

Looking good Mole.

Im still deciding on the look, before I give the go ahead on making them for me.

The more I see peeps avatar with this custom gauge, the more impatient I am getting...LOL

350hp before a new tranny rebuilt. Got to get a tranny cooler though.

that one there was linked on here last week fellow forum user was saying he's had his for about a year no problems.

Thanks for the oil and clunking advice i was very worried about the noise is it curable at all ?

I did try email Lexus Glasgow about Parts/Pricing for things but thats been a week with no reply (Customer Service seems high on ther elist lol...)

I think there is a fix for the calipers. Its called a fix kit. Not sure how much they run.

I use 5w-30 Mobil1 fully synthetic.

Yeah, that clunking noise is common. Its the floating calipers, and that noise is the pads moving when you press on the brakes. You will hear it, fowards and backwards. Some say they hear it on rough roads.

What kind of HID conversion kit did you get?

Look in the F.S. forums to find discounts. Here in the states, we can get the part # from Lexus and call Toyota for better pricing.

oh yeah...doh...

I have a cheaper solution that will work, if your autoleveler is broke.

PM me ;)

I registered and I am still waiting for an email, to confirm my registration.

I was just curious, if there is a quicker process. Maybe by an already registered member pm/emailing the admin, to let me in.

My Username is the same as on here ;)

Thanks for the support

I am looking to purchase or trade my L steering wheel badge for an Altezza one.

If you have one, and dont want it anymore. Let me know

Thansk

what are the specs of the wheels

And cant wait to see pics

nice IS. Luv the color

Just out of curiousity, are your fenders wider than the U.S. version? We dont have stock sidemarkers, because its on our bumpers :iraqi-info-minister:

Can you take a pic of your car fenders from the front. I want to compare my fender to yours. thanks and keep up the good work. IMO, it needs to be lower on the stance

I use Maguiers and Mothers for my car cleaning stuff. I use wash soap with no Wax.

I also heard of Zaino is good too. www.zainostore.com

japthree...you are right, its just cosmetics.

I dont think there is a way to accurately read those things.

I get a reading by filling the tank up full. Drive 200 miles. Fill the tank up full and see how many gallons you get. Divide that by the miles and you get your MPG.

I get about 21 mpg. Thats my normal driving. If I drive like "driving miss daisy" style, then I can pull off 23mpg.

dont forget about me. I live where it rains 80% of the time

Do you guys have Power Folding mirrors?

Do you not have power folding mirrors? It was standard fit in the UK, I'm assuming you're not in the UK?

Cant imagine why the IS200 doesnt have a centre armrest!, makes such a difference, Scangauge II has been a great investment as a trip computer.

Autos did have an armrest, and later down the line I think they started fitting them to all models, but yes a strange oversight on the earlier cars.

Quite interested in that Scangauge II, how difficult is it to fit?

Not UK, but the US.

No cars in the US have Power folding mirrors, wish we had it though. And I cant buy one of yours, due to reflection in the mirror :winky:

In the US, 01 was the first yr that had the IS. It came as an Automatic with no armrest. 02+ came with an armrest and a manual tranny.

Leather/Eskaine(Alcateza(sp?)) seats/panels and heated. LSD on rear diff. 2jz-GE 3.0liter Inline6.

What I dont like is that the back seats dont fold down.

The steering wheel Sorry couldnt resist :D Do like the folding mirrors as it stops them being kicked off by louts?

Do you guys have Power Folding mirrors?

Do you have any pics of the right hand clock of IS300's dash

?

The left clocks may also be slightly different due to the facelift, so pictures of the left clock,

or clocks from differing years of IS300 would be helpful to see what jason could do to help.

I followed your source. You have the nices clocks in your cars. Especially in Mr.Singh's old car B) :D

I will search and find pics of different yrs of IS300. But only in US versions ;)

There are no modifications for the JDM/UK headlights to fit on USDM IS300. IS300 came with HID and Autoleveler as a package for under $900 US dollars per side. :o

Im not sure if JDM and UK are different.

Just go out and buy an HID kit and locate the ballast on the crash bar. But dont know if the wires are long enough.

USDM IS300 did not come with amber reflector in the corners. We use amber bulbs.
