hey, i'm looking for a supercharger. i'm sure one of you guys could help me. preferably like a website where i would be able to order the kit as well as other performance items. I have been trying to find both a supercharger and a decent exhaust, for now. I have 2 more years here in Japan and when I bring my Altezza to the states, i want it to be looking and driving right. Thanks for any help.

I am going to need an oil change soon, and I want to do it myself. Definitely not going to the dealership. The Japs pretty much charge you what they want and you just have to pay it, so I would rather not go through them. I know a place on base that I can get Royal Purple oil, so i need a good oil filter to match. My owners manual is in Japanese, so I don't even know what kind of oil to use. its a 1999 Toyota Altezza with the SXE-10 whatever. I dont even know what that means. I really love this car, but the whole language barrier is a problem.

here's my main problem and concern. yes, i have an altezza, not an IS300. so i don't have day time running lights, which is great because i can run my foglights without my headlights. i also don't have HID's standard on my car, so i dont know what will happen when i plug a kit into it. i hear there i won't like have any damage to the car, but will i have a clear, straight beam or will it be scattered? i don't want to direct a super bright beam straight into someone's windshield, if i can help it. if you stick halogen headlights with HID bulbs? if i can get an answer, i'll probably buy this weekend. and then i already purchased the yellow PIAA foglights. i gotta figure out how to get those in too. advice on that one as well? with those two upgrades, i'll be both the lowest ranking person in my battery, and have the nicest car. i'll get some pix up soon. probably after the HID's.

I just bought my Altezza (or IS). I'm stationed here in Japan, in the US Army. I know there's a US Forum, but i just decided to come here. now, there are like 4 other Altezza's on base, but i'm the only private to own one. i want to get to separating myself for all those sargent's and captain's. the military pays me a little extra for what i do, and when i leave japan, in 3 years, i'm taking the altezza home with me. its RHD and a manual. The first thing i want to do is the lights. there is a light specialist off base, who i'm sure isn't cheap. i was wondering how hard installing an HID kit actually is? it says "plug-and-play" but is it really that easy? I appreciate all help and any input as to what looks good and what not to do would be great. i'm new to the who Lexus game. Thanks
