Welcome to the club mate, LOC and TOC forums are the most helpfull forums i have come accross. :) Enjoy the car.

i have always wanted an s2000 sicne seeing it on 2 fast 2 furious! lol i hope to get one oneday! if you take off the wheels and plan to sell them i am looking for a set of 18s so PM me. thanks

as title says, i know they are hard to come across but theres no harm in looking here is there. i recently found a set but the price was too much because all of the wheels need a good refurb. so if anyone has a set please let me know. thanks

definitly the grey! it looks stunnin with your red paint work! your rear lights look smoked to me, it should only be the rear ones that are smoked, they started from 51 and from about 04 the front are smoked.

150 for the front that had chips etc...

Izzy, i get the same as you, i have figured out that i get 20mpg! i think i might get a 3 litre car next because you get more than 20mpg lol

the 02 plate for £4000 looks really nice an smart :)

not all is300's come with a factory fitted bodykit, that an optional extra i think like it is for the is200.... someone feel free to correct me if i am wrong...

my mate had a same problem on his toyota avensis, he needed a new fuel tank because each time he fils more than half a tank it starts to drip petrol due to a crack or some sort....

could possibly be that it is the perfect colour for someone and save money on a paint job??? only the person that much for it will know....lol

the oil leaking on the alloy could be from the CV joint or CV booth which ever the correct name is. when i went to change my tyre, the inside of my alloy had oil all over it and this was due to a rubber seal on the drive shaft had slit.... worth taking it to a garage and getting it checked out mate. and as for the wheel there is one here on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-Alloy-Wheel-Lexus-IS-series_W0QQitemZ150430789650QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item23065fb012 :)

just for the record Its a 4 door saloon by the way not a 5 door family car lol if it was 5 door fair enough it can be slow, but for a car that looks sporty as the IS, it should have a bit more power to go with the looks IMO.

its SLOW, should be faster since it says it has 153bhp on paper.....

i agree with the person above ^^^^^ i used a warrenty company in the past and it was a waste of money!

cheers for the infor kev dood much appreciated. i will try all the above our over the weekend and will let you know what the problem is. thanks

hi there, i have just found out that i need new calipers, i just want to know that, will i need to change my brake discs again? i only chnaged them about 2 months ago. my problem is that when i brake from high speeds i hear squeeky sounds and vibration feeling. the garage said that the pistons have siezed in the calipers.

if i was you, i'd stick to the after market head unit because the lexus ones tend to go bust which can costs £££s to fix! most of us on here have experienced the dreded error3 code! best of with a dvd player to fill the orginal unit space.....

cheers for the infor garysp, when you had the problem was it both of the calipers or just the one? and also do i need to get new brake discs?? thanks

anyone???

hi there, i changed my brake pads and discs about 2000 miles ago because they were warped and i believe this is a common fault on the lexus. my new pads and discs are Mintex. the problem i have now is that the warped disc feeling has come back e.g. breaking at high speeds you can feel vibration and also when i brake i can hear a sqeeky noise like the pads have worn off. i took the car to my garage today and he said it could possibly be that i need a new caliper and this will mean a new set of discs because the current ones would be warped. has anyone experienced this before and also if anyone can help/advise me that would be great :) thanks in advance.

nice car but at that price its Daylight Roberery IMO i picked up my 52 plate, lexus with 55k miles with styling kit on it less than £5000 PRIVATE.

i had similar damage like that, cost me £150 to get it repaired. if i was you i would just repair it rather than getting the insurance invovled.

No. The 18" 6 spoke sports alloys. The link works for me nice, how much did you get them for? think probs works for you because your a signed into your ebay account..... whats the item number then it should come up. Try shearching the follwoing number in Ebay. 320493750580 THAT IS BARGAIN OF THE YEAR! if you want to sell for alot more than that please let me, i will take them off ya :) I could not believe it when I saw it. It had only been listed for 30mins or so. I was actually looking for a spoiler when I came across it. I am getting them refurbed then will decide what to do with them as I already have a set but could not pass that up. lol, well if you want to sell them as they are or when they have been refurbed will you let me know as i am interested. thanks
