Bobba77 replied to fitzy-boy's topic in Modifications & Tuning
You mean one like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-Magnetic-Steel-Tax-Disc-Holder-/180920315448?pt=UK_Car_Parts_Vehicles_Automobila_ET&hash=item2a1fb0ee38#ht_500wt_922 bought the exact same one few years back. -
Not cheap but it does come with a brand new tyre. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-200-alloy-wheel-and-tyre-/220929507154?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET&hash=item33706cbf52

Finaly got a few from someone breaking an is on ebay..

The first person I spoke to at lexus about it claimed the locking bolts werent lexus parts as he had never seen them before!? Anyway the bloke in the parts department said he gets people coming in all the time for them. A new set of locking bolts from lexus are £30 just the standard thing you see on most cars now.
-
morning all, after my car was serviced few weeks back i noticed when i got it back that one of the metal caps that cover the locking bolts was missing. The Garage claimed they put them all on and it must have fell off???? Anyway been looking all over for them tried lexus but no luck. Does anyone here have a spare one lying around or know where i can get them from. cheers

yep totally agree, personally i hate anything that has less than four wheels!!

Is200 Servicing - List Of Stuff To Check/replace?
Bobba77 replied to petej's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
check on here gives you a pdf of everything you need to check, replace etc regarding the service. http://bahamutcars.free.fr/workshop/IS_98-05/index.html -
Always used to average about 24-25 mpg, but been using the snow mode recently as well as a tad more conservative driving and I managed to get it up to around 30mpg. Hopefully when its serviced next month it will improve again.
-
I had to get it resprayed as it was in a right state so the bodyshop which did it stuck it down for me. Not sure what it was but he did say it would never come off.
-
Sounds like a good price depending on the condition of them, the pedals (including the foot rest) usually go for 50 quid from a breakers. I paid 40 quid delivered for the kick plates.
-
Glad you got it sorted out, just out of interest is your is black and were you driving through gateshead near low fell around midday on the bank holiday monday????
-
Just reading the whole of your post as I only glanced at it. Dont think they would do 'touch up work'. They would only do say whole body panel respray etc. But you could always try them.
-
Thompson and Mackay in Seaton Burn are really good. The only place in Newcastle that still uses body solder instead of bodge. Expensive but you only get what you pay for. They repaired my car after it was bumped last year and it was perfect.
-
Dont think they are as the IS300 has VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) and the IS200 does not and the VSC is displayed on the IS300 dash when you turn the ignition on......
-
Cheers, discovered a few posts in the forum showing the 3 bolts to attach it. Going to remove the bolts and glue it down with some Sikaflex (seems to be the preferred choice). Got to get it resprayed first however Its in my colour but has a few scuffs and deep scratches on it.
-
Just bought a early Sport lip spoiler off ebay, waiting for it to turn up. But wanted to know if they where bolted on or not. If they are I was going to remove the bolts and use 3m tape to glue it down, I've seen a few IS200's with this spoiler on and its not too big. So what type of 3m tape shoud I use?? Thanks
-
Oh, thought the one on yours was the TRD one? Only paid 20 quid for it needs a respray though, cheaper than a TTE one for 150 Plus.
-
After having interference on the radio, I managed to get a Honda aerial from ebay for about 15 quid. Thats your best bet really, makes a dramtic improvement though. Expensive to get one new so keep looking ;)
-
Ahhh, okay thanks for that. Dont think I'll bother. Bought a TRD boot lip spoiler instead........... at least I think it is a TRD one .
-
Probably going to buy this then. Thanks for the responce people. :D
-
Nice one, how heavy is it??
-
Evening chaps need a bit of advice. I'm thinking about getting a strut brace for the IS, seen one on ebay for 45 quid delivered looks okay but not sure if it too cheap. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350469819405&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT Or am i better off getting a more expensive one say around the 100 pound mark?? Thanks
-
Yeah they changed it by 2001? ( correct me if Im wrong) pre 2001 cars the wing mirror heater element was constantly on this was changed so you could switch them on at the same time as the rear and front demister using the switch on the dash. So you need a wing mirror the same age or later as your car.
-
yeah looks good, I'm sure most of the ones for sale on ebay are pretty much of the same quality............. very tempted
-
Which ebay seller did you get yours from?? any chance of a pic on the car???
