Nice wheels.

Can i ask you, is that spoiler from lexus? i mean an oem part?

I just bought a GS300 and i am looking for a spoiler :)

I just did a service on an LS400 the other day with 548.000km(340.000Miles) on it, and i didnt do anything besides change the oil and grease the brakes.

The IS200 i have seen with the most Km on it, is a 99' with 396.000km(245.000Miles) I changed the oilpan on it because it was starting to rust and oil was dripping from it.

The Fan starts because you have the A/C on :) So the fan pulls air through the A/C Condensor. If you turn off your A/C the fan will not turn on :)

Someone before you have had the gearstick pulled out and then put it in wrong again. The Is200 shifter has an angle to it. So if you have had it pulled out and then put back in the wrong way, well then that is your problem :)

As long as he puts a Headgasket on, in the right thickness i dont see why it would change anything skimming the head.

Nice IS patrickM. , how much did u lowed ur car ?

Alot! :P I have a coilover suspension. I think it is about 60-70mm on this image.

I have had it all the way down on the coilovers and on stock 17" Lexus rims, it was scraping the buttom on even small speedbumps. It was LOW! :P Think that would be about a 100mm lowering maybe more. :)

My Is200 Sport with TTE skirts, sitting on 18"Rota GTR rims.

You must have gotten an out of balance Flywheel, It shouldnt do that.

I know that we actually put single mass flywheels on cars with Dual mass stock. We do it because people are complaining of clutch judder. We do this on a few Toyota models and that is of the advice of Toyota.

Try to keep the revs around 1500 rpm when pulling away, the dual mass flywheel is the culprit, read someone welded the two parts together when they had a new clutch fitted which fixed the problem.

Or buy a new one from lexus!!! I dare you to ring and get a price lol...

I work at Toyota/Lexus here in Denmark and i got the judder problem. I asked for a price on a new flywheel. The price was £830 and that is the price i get it at, working at Lexus. So if a costumer walked in it would be £1300. :S

Have anyone had luck with welding the flywheel together?

Sounds a bit drastic?

Nah. I think this would be the best way to fix it :) You are just gonna weld the 2 moving parts of the flywheel together, and make it a solid mass flywheel :) In theory it should work.

Have anyone had luck with welding the flywheel together?

Yea, it isnt my taste either.

But put them under the doors or in the trunk for extra lighting :)

I run 18" and i have mine dropped about 80mm(Yes, it is pretty low), i only get rubbing on full steering lock, againsts the chassis. I have my arches rolled and pulled out abit. So dont know if you are gonna rub there.

But yes, you would be able to drop it 30mm without problems.

Then go to your local Lexus dealer and get them to order the part.

You dont need to remove the bumper no.

I can say, that the OEM armrest is worth the extra money. Super stabile and tough and nice quality leather.

I´m from Denmark, so dont know the rules in the UK. But when you put Xenon lights on your car, it blinds the oncoming cars, because your car doesnt have Lenses in the light to disstort the light, so it doesnt blind people. You also need to have headlight washers and self-adjusting headlights. Here in denmark you get a fine of £120 for each headlight, if you get pulled over by the police.

That would be to buy a new ECU, and complete "Key-Kit" with locks and new keys. Unfortunatly.

Oh yea, to follow up on my comment.

I tried coding a new key with my Vallet(gray key) and it is not possible. You have to have a working black master key to code a new key for a Lexus. So i was wrong :)

From what the manual says, then yes you have a master key.

hehe. Well i have always been told that the gray key was the master key :P Never looked it up in a manual though, and i have always been able to code with it, so never had a reason to look it up. :)

But i will test it tomorrow at work, and see if it works :)

Yea, i see that the manual says that.

But i can tell you that i have coded many Toyotas with the gray(apparently sub-key) and have the car start and lock/unlock with remote after. We mostly repair Toyotas, because Lexus isnt that big here in Denmark, but should be the same system.

I know that you can use a key from a Toyota Landcruiser(3-button one) and get it cut and coded to work on an IS200.(Saves you some money, but it says Toyota on the back instead of Lexus) :)

Yea, i might be wrong. But i will test it tomorrow.

I´m thinking that the IS is new enought that you code the transponder with the "Intellegent Tester" from Lexus. But i have never tried coding a key for an IS200. Only never Lexuses.
