  1. I'll keep it on my server for a few days - hopefully most people will download it, then you can host it Steve for future downloads?
  2. Okay, I've watched the program and it's recorded fine. I need to record it onto DVD and I'll then create an iso image and host it tomorrow morning. I will allow http, ftp and bit torrent downloads. Remember this going to be around 2GB so using a 512kb broadband connection is going to take 10+ hours to download. I would recommend using bit torrent as it can recover and carry on where it left off if any errors occur. I'll also try lowering the quality to reduce the filesize if people request it.
  3. Cannot always tell. If you are doing short journeys then moisture will form on the inside of the filler cap and will mix with the oil to form a nice light brown cream. If you have gas escaping from the cylinders into the cooland then the coolant will get very hot. Keep an eye on the temp gauge, you could do big damage to the engine if it overheats.
  4. can do. What size do people want to download?
  5. I don't think all dealers will supply TTE parts. It is not an official Lexus accessory/option so they don't have to.
  6. The 320 hasn't been a 2.0 for a while. It's a 2.2 6 cylinder. The 318 is the 2.0l 4 cylinder. They did have an old 6 cylinder 2.0l that they used for years. Trouble is small 6 cylinder engines have poor low down torque which all IS owners know about.
  7. I'm not fooling for the old 'hope it's not a .....' trick. You just want to be the only one with a turbo whistle :P I'd want two anyway - make people think I have a twin turbo ;) No it's nothing for the Lex. Looking at a new watch.
  8. I've brought things in the US with paypal too with no problems. He does take paypal from within the US and has a 3000+ ebay rating (99.9% positive).
  9. Maybe I'll get my next car north of the border then because the difference between trade-in and forecourt prices where I am is around £4 or £5k. £1k to recondition the car, another £1k to lower the price after a month or two if no sale and another £500 to knock off with no part ex. That still gives the dealer £1.5 - £2.5k
  10. Has anybody used Bidpay for ebay payments in the US? The seller won't take PayPal from international buyers only Bidpay which is Western Union's auction payments. Not sure if it offers the buyer any protection, or do you just rely on your credit card protection?
  11. There is also the Remus one, which is what the TTE actually is. Remus IS200 exhaust
  12. No you should be keeping the diameter of the combined rim and tyre the same otherwise your speedo/odometer will be out. However a 18" rim is normally heavier than a 17" one and because it is a rotating mass the extra weight is about 4 times greater than just a static mass. e.g. if your new wheels/tyres weigh an extra 4Kg each that is 16Kg for all 4 wheels and it has the effect of a 64Kg weight in the car.
  13. I can host it for a few days. I'll also do a DVD iso image if anybody wants to burn a DVD of it?
  14. PCD = 114.3 bore = 60.1 16 x 7.5JJ not sure of the offset
  15. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/knowledge...x_v2&id=89&c=14
  16. There are no details on the new model which will be a 2006 model. I don't think there will be a 2.0l version, maybe something like a 2.5. However the SE and Sport now come standard with full leather.
  17. I guess everybody is holding out until the last minute - only a couple of days to go and no bids!
  18. You should be able to fit it yourself
  19. Has the same discs and pads. Suspension spings/shocks may be different on the IS300 due to the extra weight.
  20. Not sure about the MKIV but the LS430 only has a 55Ah battery as standard. Better off putting in something a bit more powerful - 70Ah+
