  1. Why are you off fella? Hope all is good anyway, I might see you on the BMW side of the fence if you do disappear!
  2. Sheffield and Rotherham have the worst roads in the UK so head there for a proper test :D
  3. I'd never fully grasped how much bigger these cars are than an IS until I washed and clayed it - was cursing my head off
  4. It was 3M Detailing Tape really http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...howtopic=57788#
  5. OK I was lying before, the blue tape was 3M detailing tape that I'd used to cover all the rubbers and chrome parts of the car Took me 3 days in total, first day was just washing and claying, then yesterday polishing and two coats of wax, and then this morning did the third coat of wax, sorted all the windows out and then gave the wheels a quick wipe!
  6. It's a right bloody mess Just uploading some pics now!
  7. Just been out to the car and someones bloody covered it in blue tape!!! Hope it's all going to come off ok :o
  8. Could be the battery mate as a lot have been killed off by the cold weather we've had this last few months!
  9. I just paid for my brand new TTE supercharger kit and the shipping from Austria to Sweden is around €200, so I guess it's quite heavy. If you're interested I can weigh everything when it arrives :) OT but congratulations Patrik :D
  10. Lexus GB are on 0845 278 8888 fella, might be worth asking what they say? They have to honour European imports nowadays, not sure what their stance is on worldwide imports though? Did Dave mention whether he has warranty on that IS350 from Japan?
  11. Welcome to the club :) Has it got any other mods as well as the charger then? Look forward to seeing it!
  12. That's an interesting point on the warranty - never heard of anyone doing what you're doing - may be worth asking Lexus GB - they're on 0845 278 8888 You'd hope they'd take the sensible option but worth checking with them to see what they reckon. It's a good point though as Dave has that IS350 he brought in from Japan and I don't know what the situation is with that - shame he's not on here very much anymore as he'd be the man there again! How much is it going to cost to bring the car over here?
  13. sorry if its silly question . use brasso outside or inside..if just outside then thats great easy fix..mine has glass.. velour seats are good nice cosy comfy..no more cold seats... In that case not sure it would work with the Brasso - on mine it's an easy job of just rubbing Brasso or similar into the plastic and it brings them up like new - glass could be more of a problem, really not sure what you'd do there?
  14. Yeah mate just use Brasso on them and it sorts them out lovely :) Saying that I do that on mine and it's a Jap import with plastic headlights - are yours the same or glass? I saw those seats for sale on eBay, nearly bought a set for mine as they were going seriously cheap!
  15. Very nice mate :D Is that black or the very dark green? Either way it's a winner :D Mine almost looks that clean now :o Those wheels look great on there too :)
  16. What a bummer! Wind him up by bidding on the auction and then retracting your bid when he thinks he's finally sold it
  17. Ah did they finally relent then mate? Noticed it went with 0 bids again!
  18. Stav, he means RX300 wheels, not RX8 wheels

    Why doesn't one of you buy all of it, and then flog the bits you do want to the other fellas in here who want that bit - all chuck in a bit each and you're sorted, all you need now is someone who wants some TRD skirts and you're laughing :D
  20. Yeah this is what I'm seeing mate, looking at both 2004 versions of the cars: They are damping adjustable but the different springs may cause wallowing or bouncing at various speeds, the damping rate has a lot to do with it too, all a bit beyond me as they vary massively manufacturer to manufacturer too!
  21. Welcome to the club, looks like you've gone for the same headunit that some of the UK guys have just bought, they love it :)
