  1. Small annoying issue that doesn't seem right. Basically today my new headlights came through and I set off on a 2 hour job of replacing them with my old ones, before my indicators were like any other car, once everything had been installed and engine running smooth, I flicked the hazards on and again the normal flashing was present on all 6 lights, however when i have the indicators on separately they like to flash all of sudden stupidly quick like there on MD or something :L Anyone had this issue or know how to resolve the problem? Random Image I took:
  2. 'don't want your IS 200 sounding like a saxo or corsa' I assume you're referring to those fart boxes chavs dump on there £300 cars? haha, I have an after market on mine though I've been mistaking for a supercar in a tunnel many of times lmao, it does sound good :)
  3. Is that all I'd need or would I need any primer laid down first? haha masking up is the fun part for me lol
  4. Dinho, what paint did you use the spray that part of the dash? I've been looking to spray mine :)
  5. I guess I'm just looking for an understanding is all! :) So from what you've set a maximum of 8" on the front and 9" on the back. What about offset? is there a minimum/maximum I should be aware of do you know? Thanks for the help btw! :)
  6. Okay, 1. Correct my Aero's are 7.5 (Checked my spare) 2. Grid Drift 18" come in 8.5", 9.5", 10" 3. All four of my tires are 235/40 That said could I get away with Grid Drift's at 18" with 8.5" width, then I have a range of offsets, ET20, ET30, ET35, ET44 (I also have brembo brakes, so not sure if this plays a part?)
  7. Cheers dude, maybe you could advise me on this. I want to keep all four tires but buy 4 new rims, I've been looking at some Rota Grid Drift 18" but none of the specs match, will this upset the tires or will I need them to match? I'm just not sure and don't particularly wanna fork our a shed load for 4 new tires!
  8. Here is a few of my older ones, got a lot to do on the car in the upcoming months!
  9. Does anybody know the full spec of the 18" sport aero rims? Including the following: - Wheel PCD - Wheel Width - Wheel Offset If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated! Jon
  10. Will get some of mine up when i get the chance to take some decent pics! :)
  11. Ahh you see I imagine there'd be more in the sportcross, I have the saloon. I have a HTC sensation!
  12. Does this look to be what I need? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005G2JF7G/ref=asc_df_B005G2JF7G13122037?smid=A2C4VTXYA0IDAF&tag=hydra0b-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22218&creativeASIN=B005G2JF7G&hvpos=1o1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=110518171699089963&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=
  13. Wait, there are 9 speakers? I know there is 1 on either front door and an additional one either side next the wing mirror, and the two on the parcel shelf but there's 3 more? o.O I'm going to be using an iPod Nano and HTC Sensation (Android) soon to be a Nexus 4 when I get around to upgrading I will most likely buy this ARLiberator you speak of, seems to be worth it! So for android I'll just need to connect up HDMI > HTC USB and I'll have full control over my phone but on the screen? :)
  14. When I bought the car in came with a 1-Din Kenwood player. Ahh right I see! Well I will see how it goes, just wondering really have good the double din DA-100 is because it looks so clean and that's really the way I like it :)
  15. Thankyou! I'm really thinking about the DA-100 for the price, can you tell me how long you've had it for and what you like/dislike about it? :) Also with the install, how easy this? I have a friend that's installed a few before, but I'm just thinking whether or not I'd be able to do this by myself?
  16. Simple question, Will these fit my Lexus IS200 Sport: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/pio-avhx5500bt-pioneer-avh-x5500bt.html or http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25/299/35829/SPH-DA100/page.html Also has anyone else go a DD head unit? Has anyone got any recommendations, if you have any. :) Thanks
  17. Here are some of the pictures, sorry it took a while :L http://www.flickr.com/photos/95533274@N03/ Apparently I'm not allowed to use flickr links to post photos so instead here is the link!
  18. In the footwells on both driver & passenger side those fuse kick panels or whatever people call them are battered, covered in deep scratches and marks everywhere, looks like someone's lent it to their next door neighbours cat for a few hours... Anyway, I'm thinking of re-doing them, but adding a little bit of flare to them, at the moment I have white SMD footwell lights (Looking to turn them red) connected to my ignition barrel light so they function in the same manor as the ignition light. But my question is would a gloss white colour to the kick panels be awesome? or not so awesome...or just have them sanded down and sprayed black? I'm just thinking white will look pretty awesome with the red lights, but would like to know others thoughts. I'm also thinking of then adding a black/white decal of some sort that states or shows that under neath this panel is not to be tampered with. Usually with this sort of stuff I Photoshop it first, as that's my profession as a job I like to see what things look like in a realistic scene before I under go any modifications :)
  19. Lmao!! My mate rags his so much he has slight negative camber on his rear passenger wheel and slight positive camber on his driver side, from all that handbrakeing :L He's also screwed his wheel bearing in the front left wheel :L I have 8k HID's :)
  20. He just rags it off the line, doesn't go very fast just he always puts his foot to floor lmao It's booked in for next Tuesday so will post some before's up tomorrow! :)
  21. Alright so not sure why I'm posting this but thought it'd be a little bit amusing to some of you... Basically I went to meet a friend at my local superstore to pick up our lunch for the following day, as we came out and sat in the cars for around about 5-10 minutes, we decided to pull off. Now at this point he had already parked like an absolute K*$* so I was little worried that he do his usual take off and hit me, now I was stationary, lights on and my engine still switched off. As he pulled off like he does every-time in his little ugly green 1997 Renault Clio 1.2 he goes (as predicted) straight in to my drivers side wing panel, tail lights, rear wheel, arch, bumper skirt the lot causing £600 - £800 worth of repair damage. I was furious, I had got out of my car trying to contain my anger, but what really ticked me off even f*&$ing more was the fact he got out and said: 'S&%t, I couldn't even see your car it's so black' That's a joke right? Shouldn't of parked there like an idiot, besides he knew I was sitting there. Anyway he's given me the money FINALLY to get my pride and joy fixed after he offered to fix it himself which I was not agreeing to, never bodge job a Lexus. Ever. So yeah pointless story but thought I'd share. :) J P.S. I can upload some pictures if people would like to see the damage lol
