  1. Funny the top poster in the last club i was in was a    :whistling:  :whistling:  :hehe:  :hehe:  :winky:

    I do pop down to Nottingham a few times a year so next time i do i will post up to see if a meet is on...would be nice to put faces to names.Mind saying that if Aido looks anything like his avatar i might just give it a miss  :winky:

    poor aido ,he`s much worse than that :P

  2. @Rillo....cool avatar,obviously you are a top bloke with that avatar...shame you live so far away,lol

    @besty...whereabouts in the NW are you based mate?

    @Dodgy...your the closest i have to a neighbour on LOC then?  :ohmy:

    This is a sad situation,i see plenty Lexus around the coast,i thought someone would be a member here..looks like im having a very mini meet  :hehe:  :whistling:

    cumbria matey.

  3. I will put you straight..

    Scott was removed from LOC purely because his sponsorship expired and scott did not want to sponsor anymore. He was NOT kicked off.

    thats a lovely reply to a topic of complaint steve,nice to see your lookin after your club members .NOT ,sometimes i wonder why you bother having this club.

  4. sorry to hear this neil,your a top bloke who deserves the best.i deal with pete jenkin for my body kit parts,3 days delivery ,perfecto,the lad checks the stock first and sends it out,top bloke,give him a try.very good prices too.

    hope you get sorted pal,we all want our lexus to look the best and i know how you feel.

    good luck.

  5. I bet it is mate, only problem is that the car is so low, don't think Tony's machines would handle it, then again yours looked low at JAE, or was that all the gear in the car mate?

    yeh prob,you do need 15 mm above the tyres for tonys gear,but he is getting new gear soon he says to sort you low boys out.

  6. Am, I can't drop the car anymore currently unless I have the arches rolled, the tyres are already covered in brown marks where I'm assuming that they are already catching the existing arches?

    I'd read somewhere, it might have been one of Tony's comments, but by dropping the car too much you screw up the geometry parallelogram / handling and it has a tendency to wander around, and from reading IS300.net a while back it seemed to be suggested that the extremely hard roll bars such as the yellow TRD's which I have can be detrimental to the ride quality with too much of a drop, as there is not sufficient roll to soak up the forces which is where the car just flips out, not sure but all I do know is that my car is dangerous at around 110 - any faster or slower and it settles down but at that speed it just seems to float wherever it wants!!!

    Maybe something more fundamental is at fault here?

    mine was like that too aido,just as i hit 0ver 100 it started feeling unsafe,i then took it too tony bones ,the geo was a mile out ,he set it up lovelly,reduced the dangerous ride by miles,feels much more stable and planted.he really knows his stuff,i bet yours is a mile out.

  7. Heat convection generates the water from the air, in fact this is what rusts the exhaust and explains why most times its the rear box that needs to be replaced since its the most distant part from the engine and cannot evaporate the water inside, fact is all exhausts rust from the inside/out because of the convection.

    well put tony :driving:

  8. Just need a bit of advice or reassurring.... :huh:

    The other day my mate was following me in the car and he said there was quite a bit of water coming out of my exhaust.  I've noticed small amounts of water on the exhaust tip when i've got out of the car in the past, especially after coming home on the motorway but never thought twice about it.  Is this a common thing? Or is there something wrong with my engine/supercharger/exhaust?  :crybaby:

    Any comments much appreciated!

    Ditto what Besty put - it's just condensation. Shows you have a good clean working engine. :D

    Take a look when you get behind other decent vehicles.

    i seen some comin out or a rover 25 :sick:
