Argh bugger :( Im missing all the meets because of ****** work. I cant book anytime off work before the 18th now, if it was the week after the 16th i could but its all time dependable. Im a solid 40 minute drive from BW aswell.

1st - Working 1-5

9th and 16th - 2-6

What times were you thinking? :/

I can't do 28th, but I'm all for the 5th! Might bring the Miss's if I can persuade to come shopping first! lol :)

My best MPG was around 36, this was on my trip to wales, covered a total of 648 miles on £100 of Standard Unleaded! and the other day when I was pushing it i managed 469 off £80 but didn't run it dry as I got worried haha!

Room for one more? I'm sort of on a holiday from tomorrow onwards and will be located about 45 minutes from this meet as apposed to the 3 hour journey from my home town, so count me in provisionally! Depends how I'm feeling, would love to come though! :)

How do you tighten the handbrake, may i ask?

About them springs, you know you wanna sell them to me ;) + Another meet would be awesome!

I've got white, 5 point SMD LED bulbs :) Best choice I ever made!

Ill need to pull out for the time being :(

Look awesome dude! But as said above not to keen on the chrome number plate surround! :P

Got to be wrong, my old man justs paid £450 for his Audi RS5, and IS's are no where near as big as that car!

Bit of a problem really, don't think I'll make it up the ramps...had this problem before lmao :(

... how much are you lowered!? lol ... I am just over 2.5" and I can still go over them sideways no probs!

They have remade them in the last couple of months if I remember correct.

I'm just kidding! haha I'm running standard springs so, but in all seriousness have we got a final location?

I also have this slight feeling it may be a little awkward for me as I reckon I'm the youngest owner coming!

Are you trying to make us feel bad?? lol

I do not think age matters! at the end of the day we are getting together for a good bander, tips about the cars, stories and maybe a coffee/donut :) :)

put some faces to names.

No no no haha ;D but who knows! I would love to meet some of you guys and get a little advise on where to take my car to next etc etc would be good! :)

Not to sure about black and gold, maybe black with white embroidery, but for me a small! haha

LOL he's now said he wants to come with me as he'll feel embarrassed :L Don't blame him tbh, also @Kendall my car is a little battered at the moment so I'm on the same boat as you my friend!

Just a thought, but it may be a idea to pick a car park

location that is under cover, just in case the weather is poor.

I often park in the “cinema” car park, its right at the back

of bluewater and out the way, follow the signs for “cinema” parking and enter

the middle level. Follow the road around until the last car park and make your

way over to the far left hand corner.

As you enter the shopping centre for that car park there is

a coffee shop just on the right and 20 yards along your find krispy kreme

donuts, although after the first 6 I find them a bit much. Lol.

Just my thought, happy to meet somewhere else if someone has

a better plan, I just hope I don’t get called into work, I don’t want to let

the side down.

Can I park next your GS? Wanna compare the size haha

LS400's are hugeeeeeee!

The LS460 is bigger still ;)

We had one at the recent east midlands meet (graham8370's car), and the pic below sums it up nicely :P

...F*** :O

Can a LS400 owner gatecrash this meet?

LS400's are hugeeeeeee! Theres a silver one near me, makes my car look tiny :(

I can make the 29th! 45 minute drive for me and no work :D Would it be feasible to bring a friend who wants to drive his car? 57 Ford Focus so bully him all you like aha

have you got the same tyre size at the front wheels ?

and 8.5j wheels on the back and 8j at the front you can opt for like the IS300's with 18 aero wheels.

with 35mm and 18''s I don't think you should have any probs but someone else should be able to clarify better on this.

Yeah tires are 235/40/R18 all round :)

My IS200 has done 125k and had it checked over for 3 hours by my personal mechanic who's honest and very close to me, he said I wouldn't be surprised if this motor runs past that 200k barrier as long as shes well looked after :D

I'm looking to sell my Matt Black Sport Aero's and get myself some new wheels, either Bronze or Gun Metal 5/6 spoke.

Now I have found several guides for the IS but is all too confusing and would prefer straight answers from people that have either done it before or know what they're talking about.

So my car is about to be lowered by 35mm, I'm also looking to get a new set of 18" rims, with a width of 8J or 8.5J and not sure what offset to go for, apparently the lower the offset the more meaner it'll look (Rota GTR's). My options available for the 8J are ET35, 45 & 48...8.5J are ET30, 35 & 40

On top of this will my current 235/40/R18 tires fit these new wheels and will they fit alongside the 35mm drop?

Thanks for any help provided :)

We want a full detailed write up and pics! Got to have pics, need pics! lol...

Haha we shall see, will deffo get a pic or two up, and a before and after feel :P

Hi guys,

Thought I'd state that next week my cars going in for a Terraclean, 124,000 miles later I think it would really do my car some good. I've heard great reviews from mixed cars and also a couple of IS200's, and they've all said it's great, car feels smoother, more responsive and even had a few more miles to the gallon out of it.

I will let you guys know how it goes and whether or not it's worth it, personally I think it'll do it some good. :)

What's your guys opinions on Terraclean?

:)

So today I undertook something I've been wanting to do ever since I first opened the bonnet to find muck, dirt, flies you name it! Everywhere. So I spent a good part of 3-4 hours cleaning the whole car, inside and out including the engine bay, this the result: (Just imagine a horrible mess before hand)
