    I have had custom exhausts made and never been impressed with the quality, I had a power flow that looked very cheap and used to knock against the bumper, a local company called Custom Chrome have done exhausts for myself, my dad and brother, we had problems with all of them, bad fitting, torn out threads even dented cars. I would get a ready built one, heard good things about blue flame. Personally I have a HKS Silent Hi Power back box and love it.

    I tried it this morning and no light flashes on the dash when the traction control kicks in. I'll have to pull the speedo out and check the bulbs.
  3. Nick1881
    My TRC button no longer seems to work, or the light on the dash is out, clicking it does nothing now. I'll try booting it tomorrow to see if the light flashes, if the bulb in the dash is ok, is there anything else that could cause it?

    Ok I found where the disc goes, tried the ebay dvd and it wont accept it. Its a 2009-2010 disc part number 86271-0W061 My part number is 86271-24123 Lexus say I need PZ485-X01EU-10 Oh well, I give up, wasnt that bothered about updating it, just thought it would have been nice.

    I got one off ebay. Trouble is I don't know where the disc goes, my car is a 2004, can anyone tell me where the disc goes? lol

    Thanks mate, ordering some of them now. Do you know the bulb type for the ignition ring too? Don't know if I can be bothered doing the rest of the dash so this will do for now.

    Hi guys, I replaced the 3 bigger bulbs behind my speedo with LED's, they were T10 fitment so easy. I'm having trouble with the 2 smaller bulbs, according to American Lexus forums they call them #47, or T1-1/4 or something. Can anyone confirm? Or know of any places I can get the LED's from? Thanks

    Can you link to the seller please mate?

    I paid £5 for this on on ebay and it has the Lexus logo but it's just rubbish, the plastic is weak and brittle. Sadly Lexus only sell it with the transponder at £70+ VAT.

    Anyone know where I can get a good quality key blank from? I got 2 off ebay and one broke already, they are really poor quality. Does anyone know where I can get a decent quality one? What are the flip out ones like off the bay? Sure I heard mixed reviews on them last time. Any help would be great, thanks.

    I have H&R on mine and I'm very impressed with them, I got the full 35mm drop they stated I would get. H&R are a bit harder though, if you want near stock then Eibach are the ones to go for, they are also very good and about 10-15 % harder, H&R are about 30 % harder. Here are a couple of pics of mine, I need to take some better ones.

    Will 16" wheels fit on a IS300 and clear the brakes?
  13. Nick1881
    I'm really wishing I could afford some 16" wheels with winter tyres, my car is already trying to drift at every opportunity.
  14. Nick1881
    That is crazy low. How does it ride?
  15. Nick1881
    Does the IS300 have this option? Some cars you can pull onto your drive and flash the lights so your dipped beam stays on and lights the way to your door then they go off after 30 seconds. Anyone know? Thanks
  16. Nick1881
    That's what I was worried about, would be good to hear if someone had tried it.
  17. Nick1881
    Agreed, got them on our track Integra, the DS2500 they are amazing.
  18. Nick1881
    Nobody?

    There seems to be quite a few nice looking manifolds on ebay in America dirt cheap. Will they fit a UK car ok? Or are they likely to be junk? I also read I need an O2 simulator to trick the ECU after the pre-cats have been removed, where can I get one from? Thanks

    I almost bought my exhaust from them, I was happy with the price and about to place the order when I got him to confirm the total which had suddenly shot up, they forgot to tell me the price was +vat. It put it way over my budget. In the end I got a better price from Future Motorsports.

    You still haven't done bad at all. Your not far from me by the way, I'm down in Nuneaton.

    Hi guys, I am taking part in Movember along with all the guys at work. For those that don't know we are growing moustaches and raising awareness and money for prostate cancer. To donate just go to my page here http://uk.movember.com/mospace/900378/ I'll try to get some pics up of my progress. Thanks :)

    toyo r888's If he wants them to last only 3000 miles. The new Continental CS5 came top in recent reviews, closely followed by the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy. I am running the Goodyear myself and have no complaints at all, it's an excellent tyre.
  24. Nick1881
    Wet or dry? Why at that temperature? What is it you require from the tyres?
  25. Nick1881
    I asked H&R the difference, this was their reply. According to the plate on my IS300 the front axle load is 1055 Kgs so I ordered 29435-3. Check yours as I'm interested to know the front axle load of the IS200. The plate is inside your passenger door and has your chassis code followed by 4 weights. 1955 Kgs - technically permissible maximum weight 3155 Kgs - technically permissible maximum weight inc towing capacity 1055 Kgs - permissible front axle load 1055 Kgs - permissible rear axle load
