These are the only pictures i have right now, not the best quality due to apple deciding they didnt want to give the Iphone a decent camera

wil do mate, just need to stock up on new products and get them both to my standards at the same time

Just fell in love with me dads and just so happens the tidyest one i found was in red too, i loved it as soon as i seen it

First of all hello :D

My names John im 25 an im from the Wirral, near Liverpool, im a new owner of a scarlatti red lexus is200 that im picking up next saturday, to say i cant wait is an underestimation.

Plans are pretty minimal at the moment but who knows, i always seem to say this with previous cars. I'll post pictures once iv given it my own personal touch of cleanin, the driveway will look very strange one i get my personalised plate on as my plate is L77 JCG and my dad owns the plate L77 RCG and also owns a scarlatti red lexus is200.

I used the TTE coilovers

they allowed a low stance, sporty feel and they retained that Lexus comfort

cant recommend them enough

any pics bazza, im stil struggling to find my way around the site at the moment. how much did u pay for the tte's?

any links to them?

hi, iv just bought an is200 today and im already looking at mods, im unsure whether i will be keepin with 17's or going for 18's, i would like to lower it, but im thinking coilovers might make the ride just to harsh, im lookin for a kit that will lower it closer to the wheel to improve the look over standard but one that minimalises the ride comfort from standard,

any info anf pics would be a great help

is there a Tutorial up anywhere for fitting HIDS to the is200?

i work with carbon on a daily basis, this is a very basic way to do it anf tbh, the majority of people should be able to make parts using this process B)

Hiya im looking at gettin an is200 and loads of garages have said they are chain, i know this is bull for a fact so each time i have proved them wrong and they have agreed, the next problem i has is they said it says in the servicing manual the belt doesnt need changing till it reaches 100k, although i have heard off other people this was revised and changed to 60k on later is200's?

anyone car to shed any light and if i do need to get it done how much i shud be looking at payin?

the new ISF red is my choice all day long

Im going to view a silver is on saturday after falling in love with my dads and ill be looking to get coilovers more then likely, but im lookin for some inspiration for silver is200's iv done a search but not much about

alternatively, could be tyres worn very low. Easy and quick to check.

Brand new tyres matey

binding brakes? Any vibration to go with the noise?

starting to get vibrating thro the steering column yes?

I would get Lexus to check them out then. Either sticking piston in the caliper or sticky slide pins. These are the tutorials I did on related components for these quite common issues if you fancy having a go yourself.

Slide Pin Overhaul

Pad and Disc change

Caliper Removal/Change

thank you for the information i will pass this on and tel him to inform lexus

My dad has an is200 and ever since he bought it its had this droowning noise coming from the front, very much like the road noise you get when going over freshly laid tarmac, it has been back to lexus and suposidly had new bearings fitted, but stil the noise is there, it becomes alot louder inder break when the weight of the car is on the front end,

Anyone shed any light on this, its going back into lexus on thurs and my dad said he aint leaving til its sorted as its driving him mad
