hi mate! welcome to the club. where abouts in manchester u from?

done :)

Just had a quick look at this thread and noticed the rings being mentioned again. Graham, I still havent had a chance to remove my rings to send them back to u for another set but will try and sort them asap. Btw, how do I remove the rings as they're on well tight?

would u like my subs? lol

I wouldnt take the risk mate. There was a thread on here a while back where engines were discussed and the matter of them being interference or not and well...no one is 100% sure if they are or not. There was a list but tbh I wouldnt take the risk. The first thing I did when I put my car on the road was to get it fully serviced and the belt, tensioner, and idler changed.

When u say the drivetrain would be under more stress...U mean just the gearbox and diff as the propshaft is a new custom made one isnt it?

with the current spec of the internals, how easy would it be to increase power over the target 300bhp now anyway? will it be as easy as a bigger turbo/intercooler and remap?

I was told by someone at lexus on my last trip down there that there was defo gonna be a new high performance replacement to the SC...as for the LFA...I didnt ask them about it but there must be something in the pipeline. As for that pic...aint it an LFA?

now that looks amazing!!! whats the covers in each corner tho behind the headlights?

been browsing through the car transplants website and found this... http://www.car-transplants.co.uk/vehicle-d...00&cat=Cars or this.. http://www.car-transplants.co.uk/vehicle-d...00&cat=Cars or this one which has barely got any damage it seems...all it needs is a new door. not sure if side bags have gone off tho... http://www.car-transplants.co.uk/vehicle-d...00&cat=Cars or this... http://www.car-transplants.co.uk/vehicle-d...00&cat=Cars

nice car mate. is that the champagney looking colour btw? like plat ice with a hint of gold?

Glad that I could help with ur problem mate. As I said above I had the same problem when I got my car and thankfully found my key number so was able to order a new locking nut

I'm surprised noone has slated this yet lol...so this is basically a hole in ur exhaust pipe that can be opened and closed yeh? so someone can have a silentish exhaust then open the valve and coz its before the backbox ur exhaust note is therefore increased? well...if i'm correct, wont this have an effect on exhaust backpressure therefore affecting performance of a car? i got a feeling it would have a negative effect on performance tbh

lmao!!!! think my washing machine be able to pass it as well...its well quiet i think. as for my car...think that should pass too

all the keys defo arent the same mate...they're all slightly different. what type of locking nuts have u got as well? are they the early 3 pin versions or the ones with a flower design? I'm sure I had a thread about locking nuts a while back when I got my car as it didnt have the locking nut key with it. Do a search for threads by me mate ;) I bought a new set of locking nuts with key off a guy on the forum as I couldnt find my key number even tho I had searched through the whole car then like an idiot I found the card with the key number on it in the glovebox lol...I had looked in the glovebox previously as well lol

Its not just the fact of depreciation that needs to be considered these days tbh...its the economy. With the current state of the economy, people are more out of pocket and therefore got less money available to spend on cars so therefore its had a knock on affect on car sales. People are struggling to sell cars so are therefore having to reduce prices which to us that are normally up to date with prices think that its depreciation when in one sense its all interrelated. Put it this way, my civic has been up for sale for ages now and I aint had any interest at all, and its a civic out of all cars tho, one of the main cars that people normally flock towards. I bought my IS200 in august and as it was a project was only put on the road at the start of march. When I look at it on a whole, the amount the car has set me back, fair enough it was cheap considering the mileage etc, I think I may have been able to get a minter for a similar price now at this moment in time the way the prices have dropped since I put it on the road. On the other hand...I'm really enjoying my car and even tho it may now look like its cost me only a fraction less than the price of a minter, I cant complain and I think I'll be keeping it for a while. I just love the amount of standard equipment :)

as per title...I've got an assignment in which we're using infopath to read from a database and we gotta create the forms in infopath and get it to pull up the right info or enter the info into the database but the stupid program is so fiddly that its doing my head in and i've lost count how many times i've had to start from scratch as if u do the slightest thing wrong it wont work and guess what...its not working for me at the moment...can someone do my work for me please? lol

have you got the key number for the locking nut mate? its normally on a bit of card thats in the box for the wheelnuts? go to lexus and tell them the key number and they'll have a new locking nut key made up for u. takes a couple of days buts better than having to get the nut forcefully removed. think it cost me a tenner for a new locking nut.

I defo agree with kamo5...the Accord 2.2i CDTi is defo what the 220d should have been like. If I were to ever go for a diesel I think i'd go for the accord simply for its build quality and economy. The accord can also be very easily remapped to 192bhp and roughly 300lbft torque.

I'd go for the bmw all day long compared to the 220d. After having read so much about the issues with them I think I'd stay clear and if I were to get another lex then it would be the 250. As for diesel tho...how about the honda accord diesel? they're amazing cars and u'd be surprised how economical they are.

the google car tends to be an astra, the one i saw was a dark colour and its got a massive spire on it with cameras mounted to that mate. got little google stickers on the back of it as well btw.

I was just thinking the same thing...think u got a bargain!

Snow mode helps u pull away smoother in an auto as well mate ;)

u sure u aint got a seized caliper mate?

have u checked the date on that report lol....1977!
