OK sweet let me know :)

Ah I see wow bet the behind dash bit is a ball ache!! Lol think I will try bleeding it once more, when I do it seems to blow warm for about 30 seconds then back to cold.... would you be willing to post? Its about 130 mile from me I'm at junction 5 on m1 :( obviously shortfuse gets first refusal don't want to tread on any toes

Where are you mate if shortfuse doesn't want I will take hole thing as I'm having same issue..... is it just all in the control panel with all the controls on?

I got a bargin on flebay got 2 apexi twin funnel filters for 30 quid.... for the breather filter I just used one of them mini k&n style filters if I new how to upload pics would show ya

Tbh mate I built my own cost about 40-50 quid and that's with a apexi filter I can email some pics it it helps....

Ok no problem thanks for the advice I have been into Toyota today to order some wheel studs so will get a oil filter when I collect the studs.... thanks agen

Hi guys been away a while but just bought my 2nd is200, had her a couple if weeks now and looking at doing a mini service just the filters and oil really..... my main question is really the oil filter... I have been looking at the HKS oil filter.... it claims 30% better flow my main worry is the vvti as it runs on oil pressure so could this damage it or maybe make it kick in earlier or later? Any advice much welcomed Also spark plugs.... I have been looking at the Bosch super 4s.... has anyone used this before my friend that used to work for Toyota said I should only use iridiom tipped plugs otherwise they will burn out very quickly... anyone any experiences or advice? Thanks guys :)

Hi mate did you fix the issue? If so what was it? As i have just bought my 2nd is200 and am having the exact same issue..... at first i thought a airlock so did a coolant change and made sure was all bled and still no change.... any ideas ppl?

Hi there guys just a quick question i have made and fitted my own induction kit as many of us is200 owners have..... my question is, the air flow meter sensor (or what i assume it is) plugs into the side of the standard airbox obviously there is no place for this with the induction kit..... it has brought on my engine management light and i was just wondering what the remedy is for this? Do i just simply drill a hole in either the alloy pipe or one of the silicon hoses and mount in there? from what i can see i would have to extend the wires on the loom to do this..... one of my friends has told me if the car uses a cambus system i cannot do this as it works on voltage or something? i am more into mechanics then electicals so its not really my forte Also there is a breather pipe that plugs into the airbox what do i do with this do i just block it off? leave it hanging or do i agen have to adapt what i have already made to accomadate it? anyone that has already done this or has any idea what i should do any advice would be great help Cheers guys p.s sorry if its abit of a dunce question just want to make sure i get it right

Hiya guys, just to let you all know the cigg lighter was ok was just the actual lighter that was faulty chargers and such all work in the socket.... Thanks for advice tho guys

Well i have had a look on ebay.... for 1m alloy pipe and all the silicon bits (without the reducer for the filter- obviously size of reducer will differ from filter to filter) works out just under £40 (excluding filter) will post item numbers up if anyone else needs them.....

Not really a topic as such..... just wanted to say a big HAPPY NEW YEAR!! to all members :) have a good one guys.......

Hi there guys just a quick one really, the cig lighter on my IS doesn't work i have only had her a month or so haven't really checked it out yet but does anyone know any common faults with them if any.... also where would i find the fuse for it as i have been told there is more than one fuse box...... Any help would be great thanks guys

I see..... well it didnt make that clear in the email..... still wondering how as will be a gold member before xmas

Hi there Dan i already have had a quote with Adrian flux and think i am going to be giving them my business.... but as a 21 year old with a lexus is200 and 6 points on my licence as you can imagine its not exactly cheap..... how do i go about the 15% discount we get for being part of the owners club? Thanks Rob

I found a pdf for it online using my phone for the forum at the mo but next time im on my laptop will try and upload unless can work it out on my phone......

Hi guys is it possible to get this guide please very interested :) would love to have it linked to the windows too!! lil666rob@gmail.com Cheers guys!!!

So do they make any difference? Obviously i understand what your saying about price but i have seen them resister 'chip' things on ebay do the actually provide any extra performance at all? Even if they are tricking IAT? Tbh if they are only 50 odd p to make and even give you 5hp surely that's a bargin..... esp if used with a better intake (panel or cone filter with cold air feed) and a decent exhaust system..... if not is there any other mods you can recommend? I know for a decent output its either turbo or supercharger but i cant afford that just yet and don't have the time to take the car off the road cheers for reply tho guys

Hi there guys, i have already read alot of posts where people have asked how to get more power for not alot of money out of their is200's and i have come to accept that for big difference you have to dig deep into ya back pocket... but...... Then i came across this while doing some late night browsing on the web... http://www.tuningwizard.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=95&products_id=2234 They have 2 "power chips" for sale one claiming to add upto 40bhp and the other 25..... The 25hp seems realistic but 40 just doesn't seem right to me.... basicly i am wondering if anyone had any experience with this company or any similar for that matter or just opinions in general? I am a little put off as many company's offer a 7day money back garentee if unhappy but this company does not..... Thanks for your replys in advance guys

tbh this is the first thread i have read since joining the forum..... And my god what a build!!! that is one nice car!! not a fan of the rear window spoiler but each to there own :) this car must owe you some serious cash!! is it your daily drive?
