Japsai springs -25mm - 30mm Firm ride but still smooth Excelent match for the standard dampers Clears speed humps without a scrape (so far)

will they be able to do that at the lexus garage? im gonna act stupid when i get them to do it. Am still deciding if i shud just get new tyres for the fronts or new wheels!!! PS- if any one wants my wheels then i will get the new alloys all round!

i will get some photos soon. but i recomend them to all, plus they are in a funky red colour!

heheh, all ya gotta do is lower the baby now. then those rims will be filling up the arches like they were made for it! plus the smile on your face will be from ear to ear with it lowered

looking cool man, i suppose the kahns would have looked good in 19" or 20" but 18" probably isnt enuf for them. but it seems like these ones suit the car a lot more. good purchace.

it certainly is, i now have the handling bug. i want it to get better and better hehehehehe. altho i found a side effect of the hks number plate. it seems to make idiots try and race you! last night i had a full on pikey mobile (pronouinced "mobeele") desperately trying to race me on a single lane one way street. a 1.3 orion with a huge exhast, differnent colour doors, crappy stolen spoiler and a huge ford motorsport sunstrip. nice. drove it like a prick. oh well. gotta get me two front tyres then its off to get it aligned. yet more money. :duh:

well i got the car back at 8pm, only just got back in the house, mmmmmmmmm i love em. Absolutely great. Not too bad either. perfect handling. car is a lot more controllable than before. i will get some photos tomorrow but it looks great. Rear is now nice n low. its only a 25mm drop but i think its perfect. there is a nice 20mm gap round the wheel to the arch. makes the wheels look a lot bigger too. sorry if none of this makes sense but im still excited. it just holds the line so much better in a corner, totaly amazing. makes the CD player skip more tho :o i just wish i had had it done sooner, definately a must do mod. took the guy a long time to fit as there was trouble taking the rear shocks out. but its all sorted now.

Well i will have a mini report on the lowering springs tomorrow. I waved good bye to my car today to get lowered and its coming back to me when i get home from work tomorrow, yay

So who is coming on sunday the 15th then?

Well the lettering is legal, it has a postcode and maker on it. its on reflective paper stuff etc. and the fact its such a deep plate it means that there is nothing within 11mm of each letter on the plate itself. the reason that they normaly dislike slogans is that they come closer than 11mm to the letters. Plus im sure that all those legalities are based on a standard plate size. I previously had from halfords a set of "3d" legal lettering in legal spacing etc which is now illigal! the only thing legal is solid black lettering! Perhaps i should just take off the plates and not get insured etc then they would go more leanient on me! hahahahaha. In the end i like it and can get them for anyone who wants one like it from Shane, call him at image Grafix on 01322 614669 and ask him to do a plate like the HKS lexus one, and he will remember, we spent 2hrs designing it, going thru a million changes. he was a top bloke and loves the car!

What do you think of my new plate! its got my screen name on so you will know if you see my car when your behind me, lol. The company is local to me and will supply it anyway you want. with any kind of logo you can dream of. he said he is willing to do a deal if we were to order a few. here it is The plate

I have wet myself laughing at that chavs website, oh my ***. that is possibly the funniest web site i have ever seen in my whole life. and steve, the only thing you have to feel guilty about is NOT reversing into her, now she cant claim more benifits for injury! I wonder if we should all club togther and pay chavs to have their reproductive organs removed so they cant reproduce anymore? in a few years the species wont exist anymore and the genepool will get stronger, plus there will be more gold for us to use for lexus badges!

out and out murder is too good for people like him, it should be a slow toruturous death to make him pay. They seem to have little or no care for what they do in this country because they know they will get away with it. I often feel like moving to america in a few years just because they have national pride, and that they stick up for their own country, In this country your racist if you belive in protecting your own country from illigal and economic migrants?????? WTF. I hope the father and family of this child are waiting to greet him on his release from prision. rant over :tsktsk:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, wishing you all the best and cheaper insurance, lol

man thats bad, send my best wishes and to have a speedy recovery. Glad the car kept her safe

YAY my springs arrived this morning, i was asleep and the man from UPS must have been ringing a while, lol. Better than those royal mail people who ring once then go! Anyway the springs are a lovely shade of red, which is cool i think unless it shows up too much, in which case i will put a bit of grease on em to make em dirty and dust to stick, lol. They are being fitted for £100 friday daytime and will be done for me by the afternoon when i get back from work. gonna book the car in for its alignment now.

i just changed my battery for a halfords calcium battery, not only does it have a 4 year warenty but it also has 565 cold cranking amps! thats about 100 more than the standard one. I have noticed that the car is a lot better now. it takes less than a second to get it to start in the morning and it doesnt have any problems after being left in the cold. It was £59.99 and is my recomendation

:tsktsk: £150 Damn there is enuf spray in a can of halfords spray paint to do a spoiler! And all halfords paint is acrylic. Yes you will need a paint that will flex, but it does seem a lot of money. Have you been to a toyota aproved sprayer such as GL Coachworks They sprayed my rear bumper and polhed out a realy deep scratch for £117 all in.

My michelin pilot sports have rim protectors which are excelent. saved me many a time. well worth the money

IF you want super nice you have to go to Claridges hotel Claridges

i dunno but im still doubting the 3.2 second 0-60. is that 60kmh? And its an auto, hmmmmmmmmmmmm still sounds like a damn fun car to be in tho

just drive her to bluewater to let her shop, she will be puttly in your hands after a day there! hence the reason i take my mrs twice a week!

how much was it? hope it works ok

well if some people are still wanting to meet for a little bit then the 15th of feb (just to show off my new springs!) or the next main meet will be the 4th april, am at present praying to the gods for a hot hot day with sun and warmth and scantily clad ladies!

i clicked on a few of the links and found a generic picture but was wanting one on the car. There is no way i would pay £360 for that! i would much rather have a propper exhaust from HKS or blitz for that money rather than buying from a company that specialises in making corsa's very loud.
