Very nice spoiler, looks smart with the rest of the car.

Today the Stainless Steel Dials arrived. Here are some pics of the dials. You can see the great work Jason has done!

Then you must check all your pipe connections. Probably you have an air leakage. You could try ebay. There are a couple of shops that sell good silicone hoses. Another place to try is Prolex. Ask Dave he might have a set in stock.

Check also if your belt is slipping. Try to get a 5PK790 belt. Post pics of the spoiler fitted on the car. I am also interested to fit one of these soon.

Here is my latest purchase. I bought a Cusco trunk bar and a Cusco rear Type I lower bar. Here are some pics of how they look: Trunk bar Type I lower rear bar More pics will follow when the parts arrive to Greece.

You still have not reach top speed with your IS? Of course and it hits the rev limit on 6th gear :D

I got it from ebay from this shop: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lexus-IS-200-Sport-Front-Bumper_W0QQitemZ120555278020QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1c11a78ec4 It cost me 180 euro including shipping charges plus 350 euro for the body work (i also repainted my bonnet due to chips from the stones on the road)

Ok finally today the bumper was in position and it looks GREAT!!!! I love it :D Here are a few pics to show you: They also fitted a small "Toyota motorsport" badge Here is also a couple of pics of the new painted bonnet:

No I have not received the dials yet due to the volcano dust.

Mine is on the way home B)

Today i visited my dad and i swapped his switches with mine Here is how my interior looks now: And here is the new look of my Dad's car: What do you think of the new interior look?

Very interesting. Looking forward to see the next step!!!

Today some more parts arrived. As you may know i had ordered from USA black arm rests for all my door panels. Well here is how they look. I am not sure if the wood kit matches with black arm rests. What do you think? My other option is to use the normal switch door switches. I might even cover them with 3M carbon fiber film. First Option: Second Option: Today I also received the TTE replica bumper (Fiber glass bumper). As you may see from the pics the bumper does not look bad. I even tried to match it on my car and it seems to fit well. ie it is not bigger than the OEM bumper like the Legana Asi purchased a couple of weeks ago. The only cons is that the bumper came with the now holes and clips in order to attach the bumper on the car. Also there are no holes for the fog lights. So this means more work for the paint shop. Furthermore there is a small crack at the bottom side of the bumper (probably happened during transportation) due to not good packaging. There were no bubble wraps or other means of protection in the carton box. Anyway there is not much i can do know. The shop is quite a few thousans miles away from home. So i have arranged on Monday to take the car at Toyota (where my mate works) and have it fitted and painted of course. I will also paing the bonnet since there a few chips from the stones on the road.

This is a good question. I got the news from one of the Lexus mechanics in Athens. I think he is getting it from Prolex but i am not 100% sure. The only thing i now for sure is that he will fit it soon and it will be have an aftermarket ECU and will be programmed in Athens.

From what I have heard Peppos is planning to fit soon a SC on his IS250

I cannot answer this question since i have never used TRD arbs. Here is a good review when i was searching to buy a set of arbs http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=61606

Today i visited my mechanics workshop to install the oil cooler kit. Initially we deicided to mount the oil plate and find a good route for the oil hoses. Well our first impression was that with the TTE supercharger kit there is not much space left in the engine bay and the installation of the oil cooler kit would be not easy. Trying to find the best suitable route for the oil lines: Oil Cooler Plate: Once we found the best route and installed the oil plate it was time to fit oil cooler. Note: It was required to deform the oil deep stick of the engine in order the oil lines could attach the oil plate. for the correct installation of the oil cooler we had to consider also the position and fittings of the air diversion plate. After the installation of the air cooler kit we just figured out that it was not the correct position because the grille could not be fitted correctly. The cooler had to be repositioned and the fittings had to be changed. After 4,5 hours job was done ;)

Today I received my new toy The Mocal Oil Cooler Kit. Tomorrow I will purchase the Motul 300V oil and the Mahle OC11 oil filter and on Saturday I will fit the kit and change the oil :D

If the bases are different from your car headlights then it is deffinetely from an IS300. you should send them back and get a refund from the seller or try to do what i wrote above. i am afraid there are not any other solutions you can do.

If you have an IS200 mate the headlights from the IS300 will not fit correctly on your car. You have to trim the bases of the headlights you bought or buy new/used IS300 front fenders.

Took a couple of pics of the rear and sides today, please note these aren't fixed properly, I've just offered them up but you can see from the pics how good the fit is :) Good fitment!!! :winky: looks great
