haha am fr manchester.....seen that 1 aroud.lol

for a replica it looks gr8.you cant tell from the pics of the green 1. the only thing is i had a fiber glass front bumper on my old lex and i when i was turning round in the road the front hit the kerb (not hard) and it cracked the bumper and snaped one of the fixings.

any 1 have a poast coad 4 japfest?lol

iv got mine decated but kept the center box, its not to loud but sounds sporty,just right.and as for the m.o.t i had new bolts fitted so that it can be changed easy.

jst altered the suspention,raised it a lil on the back so that the wheels arent covered by the arch,much better,and more speed bump freindley.lol

asi on here has a is200 v8 turbo!!!he bought it like that drove it home then ripped the engine out and has improved it a hell of a lot and now its nearly back together,here's a pic ps that conversion 000's as for mine well.......short shift,green brake hose's,cut out my front bumper(like the pic above and stav's)just ordered my hks bov.mibbi a twin exhaust... poss more but i can't remember what else...lol yeh i had dual exhaust system made up for my old lex,looked smart. and whats the short ***** like? does the hand brake not get in the way in reverse?lol brave man to rip out a v8 turbo. B) and yeh ithort tht wud b the case.think il just stick with charger idea. but as i am only just 18 3k is hard to save up.lol

thanks m8 aprishiate the coment! and yeh iv seen quite a few of your posts,you hav done a realy smart job of your lex. yeh thats what iv got planed ....i think.lol looks so much better with coilovers, and eaven tho i love the stock 5spokes im finding it hard to resist the merc amg 5spokes thats been menshioned on here a few times. well...i had my hart set on the supercharger but after meeting with a mate today who decided to spend a hour talking about the ls400/430 convershion but that wud ovs be alot more hassel than the supercharger plus the 'soundtrack' to the car wouldnt be the same.haha and what kind of price would a convershion be...im guesing alot.lol and other mods to come will be the tte front bumper,armrest,new front lights,back light,and to tidy up scratches ect. what have you got planed for yours, is there anything else you can do?lol

the oem 5 spokes look gr8 if thre mint condition,but it looks mint with the merc amg alloys(there was a pic of a blue is with them on here recentley)

cheers m8,not quite as emaculate as urs tho.lol n yeh i know thats next on the to do list :winky: and the interior was off ebay , won it 4 300.good condition to.

yeh the plugs were atch diffrent but i think that is because mine is an 's' but its realy easy there is two wires, black and white from the seat and i think that wires from the car are black and yellow? eather way its black goes with the black and vice versa.i just crimped them together for nw.cheers

thanks. i prefer it than the oem 4x4 look tho.lol and got it 4 £300(for the whole interior headlining,carpet,electrical componants ect)

yeh cheers its my second one in that colour.lol and yeh i wud like to go a lil lower at the front but i had i fited the coilovers on friday night and had them set v low but as soon as i took it of my drive it was rubbing the arches and scraping on bumps,(it was only about 2 1/2" between the front bumper and the roadlol) and i needed the car on sat morning so i just raised it by 50 mm in a rush.might lower it but i dnt think tht i will b able to with all the hills and speed bumps ect near mea.lol and the coilovers are 'DAIYAMA' there nice and cumfy 2 and have loads of ajustment. and i go the grill off ebay brand new for about £40,its genuin aswell.i asked for a price of lexus but they quoted a high price,cant remember how much now tho.just looked on ebay and the seller doesnot seem to be on there anymore.

cheers mate its nice to get some aprichiation as apose to the misses moaning about it. and i havent got the exact measuments on the drop but the front end was 50mm lower than in the last pic originaly but as where i live is hilly it had to be raised.lol but iv altored the hight a few times to get it just right so that its as low as it can be without scraping speed bumps.but personaly i think it looks a 100% better when the hights lowered because as mine is a 's' it looked like a 4x4 at the rear.lol

hi all just wanted to share pics of my second is as i havent had time to do so untill now. its a 52 reg s. i wanted to keep the car relativley standerd so only a few mods that i think it should have came with out of the factory. mods are: full lexus leather interior(out of the LE moddle i think) scorpian 4" exhaust with decat pipe coilovers 17" lexus 5spokes from the S.E (won for £76 of eb*y bargan with new bridgstones) sports grill k&n filter when i first got it.. after i put on the new grill then this arived.. with it fited.. then with the new wheels.. then i took this interior out and replaced it with this full leather one then my coilovers came and here it is today i am saving up to get it supercharged next so hopefully il be back again. sory for the bad pics,needs a gud clean,not sure if pics will work as never done this before let me know if they work. thanks kpm
