  1. Think I know mimosa - has a big field next to it? What colour is your car, I'll look out for you
  2. Yes mate. Just down the road in Mickleover, on Chain Lane
  3. Cough - what illegally spaced plate - cough!!! I used autosmart Tyre Dandy on the tyres. Comes out as a foam and just leave it and it makes them look new again. I also use it on the wheel arches, brings them up brilliant. Also, it works amazingly well in the engine bay!
  4. Can I just ask, when you remove the fuses is there any way of knowing the ecu has been actually reset or do I just assume that it has?
  5. Just done the most thorough clean and detailing of my luuuurvly is300. Took twice as long because of the blummin' rain! Anyhow.... What you all think???
  6. Colin, I think you misunderstand. Im not after extra performance. I'm trying to make the car mine and do the things I wanna do with it whilst I can :-)
  7. Trying to find a local k&n stockist in Derby, anyone know of anywhere? I don't want to order online
  8. Have read up a bit more about tuning the IS300 and as a lot have said it is quite difficult. With regards to a turbo, can the stock internals cope? and what would be the FULL cost eg, turbo kit labour, remap etc?

    Just a few photos to show how my IS300 is coming on. Started off bog standard and gradually putting my own thing on it.

    New exhaust. Nice 'warm' sound. Not too loud at all. Cat Back system by Powerflow. 3 1/2" tail pipe with muffler, similar size to original.

    First things I did was get the Wheels refurbed and calipers painted....
  20. Well, got the exhaust fitted today, I think it looks mint and the sound is just what I was looking for - more of a 'warm' sound than a rasp. Will try and post a pic up later. Turbo charging doesn't appeal to me at the minute, she drinks enough fast juice without the extra oomph lol! Does anyone know what gains I would get with a remap? I know it will prob be minimal due to it being a) petrol b ) naturally aspirated. Just want to know if it's worth it or not :-/ I plan to put it on the rolling road anyway over the weekend (just for my own personal pleasure to see how she's doing!) but if I get a remap I would wait for that.
  21. Crikey.... Not anywhere near derby are you? Lol. Seriously though really appreciate the advice
