This is where you find that the ultrasonic blue become so common that the second hand market will favour the other colours
Don't think they'll be selling many. It was pretty difficult selling the 150 that came in initially. Hardly an exciting car compared to what else you can get for the money, it'll be spanked by an M3 or RS4 and a BMW 330D M Sport is only a second or so slower to 62 mph and that returns 44 mpg.
How is it not exciting car, i for one love the lexus as there is not that many on the road, unlike the BMW where every one seems to have one , but the 330 is -still a BMW, i would still have the IS-F over then BMW,s, and there would be 1 car i would have over all 3 and thats the C class AMG 6.3 now that is a beast lets face it if you have the cash to buy one of them cars, the last thing on your mind is what would be the mpg are ;)

Hi bud, Yeah seen that site already! Good news is they're in UK!! Read loads of OZ & NZ forums! Hence head spinning!
Hi mate, yea thats the best place to get it from for us in the UK, but if you know how you could make one, i did have one made but it was out of SS and it was not good as it came in about 30kg so i did not use it,
Im useing the auto box for now! and it works well, only good for about 350hp
What are you puting the v8 into ?

it will not happen again...thats for sure.
im afraid i think it just shows what the club and some members have come too.
if those that dont like the club or how ever it is run want to go elsewhere then so be it....i say let them do the things they want to, the way they want to., and good luck.........But here is your choice, stay and play the game, or go and do whatever you want, elsewhere
as Austin said, a line should be drawn under this situation, and a fresh start made, those that want somewhere else to go, please do, your opinions are valid, but the club will be run just the same
those that want to see the club flourish, are more than welcome to stay
it really is as simple as that
matt you know what they say, about a "fresh start" you should all ways start at the TOP :winky: i think if the club makes there members feel welcomed then they would turn out for that club, but how can they when you have LOC mods talking to its members the way they have been in the past months, and what are members to think when they see (you the owner of the club turning round and saying if you dont like it then F**** off) im sorry but you should never talk like that to your members as with out the members you dont have a club!!
i went to JAE this year with OJC as i was made to feel welcomed,
my understanding LOC mods did not turn out for the club, !!! why was that?

Very nice car mate, i will know soon just how you feel, with my IS V8 :winky:
I have only seen 1 or 2 round where i am, :) hhmmm nice
You getting one or doing a transplant?
The rarity factor is one of the reasons i wanted one. The only other one iv seen is one in a showroom, but iv still to see one on the road.
Hi mate, i have just come to the end of my engine swap! V8 out of the LS400 into my IS :winky: take alook on youtube, under IS200 V8, and you will see, my one is the one with the Turbo :winky:

here r the pics
durung the same day
That not nice at all mate, im sorry but i have to say it looks like you was going more than 30mph, you can tell just by how much damage there is to the car, takes alot to bend a car that bad at the front ;)
-
the best thing to do is, TELL THE INSURANCE YOUR MUM WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT THE TIME OF CRASH....SO YOUR EXCESS WILL BE CHEAPER TO PAY!
AND AS FOR THE ACCIDENT....YOU NEED TO PRETEND THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR COMING AT YOU AND YOU HAD TO MOVE OUT THE WAY WHICH CAUSED YOU TO CRASH INTO A TREE.
ITS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD IF YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE ANYTHING.
IT WAS AT NIGHT WASNT IT?
THE INSURANCE WILL PAY OUT AS THE SAME HAPPENED TO MY FRIEND.
Some great advice there, mate!- Rez89 guide on how to commit insurance fraud.
If I'm ever driving in Wirral I hope I don't run into you.
More than 50% insured drivers are commiting insurance fraud without knowing about it i.e. Not telling the actual milage they do..*ny optional extras,mods,
And the main one is people using their parents name as the poplicy holder....and the parents never drive the car!
If I was going to do insurance fraud I'd drive a car under my parents polciy but insurance companies start to charge more now!
My insurance is going to cost me £1800 on my own..which I am ready to pay!
Im sorry mate, but you are not right when you say more than 50% , i for one, tell the ins about everything on the car and what extras it has, and i think i can say the same for 99% of the guys on here, as you would have to be a fool not to tell the ins! whats on your car, "and as for the main one is people useing there parents name as poplicy holder" where dos it say that they have to drive the car to take out ins!! as long as you are on it as a named driver, how is that "fraud"
