i was under the impression rage supplied tvr with their paints, or is it ppg? car looks totaly amazing. cant wait to see pics with the chrome rims on!

have sent you a PM jock. if you want more photos just give me a shout.

high :- getting my lex tinted and going to tdi to have my Hiper muffler put on low :- Having to sell my car and taking off my hks hiper muffler

very very nice. i always love that colour. great job man

i know im in kent but i am selling my car at the mo. might be worth the trip down! it up for £11,850 and has just ticked over 50,000 miles. full lexus history, astral black, se spec, all round privacy glass. where my car is being sold pic 1 pic 2

well my pet hate is any car with those *** awful neon washer jets, i feel like walking up to the car with a hammer and hitting them till they break. other than that i hate the fact they know their cars are cheap and are willing to put everyone else at risk because they are not bothered about the car! riceboy.com i think the sites temporarly offline but has some prime examples of some seriously bad cars

i would say that you have definately been a little agressive with your posts. step back and take a breath. Is the £400 your talking about to supply and fit the lowering springs. From all the great reviews the £140 eibachs are great and extremely close to your £100 budget considering how great they are. everyone is only trying to help you here :D

just go straight to ur insurance company, your car is so new. like others have said he might not realise how much it will cost, if he is an honest man he will have insurance. and then its all taken care of, old people like to act innocent but are a major statistic in the cause of road accidents. protect yourself.

glad you like it dude, driving my car without it now is so dissapointing. i find myself making the noise! lol. roll on at higher speeds is noticeabley slower without the exhaust. such a shame,oh well. have you set any alarms off yet in your road, mine kept setting of a little micra down the road, heheheh.

make sure you warm them up in the morning as they need to be warm b4 you get the deeper notes, when they are cold they can sound a little raspy? any cure for that. also going through tunnels and multi story car parks becomes a joy! and the amazement of boy racers when they hear what a real engine sounds like with a decent zorst

Merry christmas guys, and wishing you a happy new year too. heres to another year of lexus greatness!

have exactly the same prob, it gets worse when you turn the steering wheel as well. take it to the dealer and they just spray it with a little lube. but it does come back! i think thats why they gave me a can of lube!

Altezza kit diagram ok i know they are not the best diagrams in the world but its all i could find for ya

i didnt mean it to sound like its a definate thing, but they might at least now be seeing it in a different light if they are actualy spending their own money building and trialing the car. It would be such an advantage to have a car that could compete with the M3. So who knows what they have planned, i certainly never thought that ford would ever drop a 5 litre v8 into a focus, then work out if they could offer it as a add on package for £15,000. Maybe thats how lexus could get round this, offer it as an upgrade package? sorry to upset people if they feel that im just talking ****. but i just thought that the pics would be nice as they are of a decent size. to quote evo- "lexus cheifs in the US said that they wanted to explore the performance of the six cylinder is300". however, rumors suggest that lexus is actively considering a production IS430, and a prototype is said to have been testing at the nurburgring in germany" january 2004 edition of EVO

hey guys, found these high res pics of the is430 that the yanks built! according to evo magazine (this months edition) lexus trialing this car at the nuremburg ring! and are possibly thinking of the feasability of creating the car, seeing as ford have alsmost created a 5 litre V8 kit fot the focus for £15,000 (an extra) then they are gonna have to. high res is430 pics link

popped into lexus bromley to have them look at the noise (if you can see noise!). was very happy as a guy popped out and came straight over, realised it was a dry belt and squirted a little lube on it. problem solved there and then, no noise at all. he even gave me a can of the spray lube just in case it came back! and the total cost £0.000000000000000000 free, i was so shocked, great service.

buy an xbox for sure, you will never want to use the ps2 again, nearly all titles are being released on ps2 and xbox. so you are spoilt for choice. xbox also has a hard drive so no need for memory cards, you can load your own music on and play it instead of the games music! controller better, graphics better! i used to be a huge fan of my ps2, now i just love xbox

i have it on the xbox, and the ps2 version is different as the levels are shorter and less to do. but you can get a game guide book for about £6 from virgin megastores, very good. also if you like splintercell then you have to buy Rainbow six 3, on the xbox, same producers, much better graphics and use of light, plus its voice activated! cant wait to see what they do with the next splintercell! good luck

hey guys, i just noticed recently that i have a high pitched whine when im slowly moving/reving. i am convinced its the fan belt, having never had a fan belt do this before i need to know if i can adjust it at all to take up the slack, or if i need it replacing? and if it needs replacing how much is it to have done? thanks

it all sounds good to me, will he make everything powered up so that it just requires the input from the dvd/playstation etc?

So could we just have a quick run down of people who can defianately attend on sunday the 5th of october at 5pm :winky:

Well where do i start, lol. when pulled up at lights next to a corsa with every concivable bit bolted on, make the tinted window smoothly roll down and wink at his girlfriend, watch her wink back, him get jelous rev the engine and let him hear the hks fire up and leave him behind, with his girlfriend sitting there wishing she was in the lex. lol. The other bits i love have already been said, the reasuring clunk of the door shutting, the smoothness of the steering, feedback of the steering. And the big smile that getting the ***** out on the car next to a neoned up nova when everyone looks up and not at his car. All my reasons seem self serving but are just the fun bits, we all know the best stuff because we all own the best badge on the road, lexus truely is the best :D

cheers guys, i will be having a go round my seats with a can of wd40, lol. Well i hope i can get to the bottom of this before i have the first single seater is200 out there, lol.

We were a main Air conditioning contractor in the city, i was a jr project manager on a very prestigious development in blackfriars called times square. i managed to get the whole project done and within budget (only company that made a proffit on whole job) and they gave me the boot on the final day. nice! oh well Arup (of millenium bridge fame, lol) have asked for my cv, and i have a lot of heavyweight references from major companies that i have worked with. I hope to be ok, and at least am being paid for the next two months. Anyone know of any decent jobs, lol. :winky:

does anyone have the same squeeks as me, my most annoying one is the passengers seat when empty. it squeaks and squeaks until i lean on the drivers side of it, then it goes but as you can imagine this is not a solution. the second squeak comes from the head lining, they are totaly driving me mad, and i dont fancy paying lexus bromley £75 and hour to find nothing :winky:
