    These are from fox racing with red calipers cost only 450 ,I think the measurements are 225/50/18 And 5studs spaced 114 if I remember right,any alloy wheel company will get you wheels but if your after Lexus wheels The GS wheels are the same configuration.

    Hi I checked around and found that the Lexus dealer in Leeds was only £50 more than the independent garages I tried ,so for piece of mind I had them do mine 3wks ago .it was £750 all in for timing belt ,water pump and a new header bottle . The bottle was £178+ vat on its own (and yes 178 for a plastic bottle) but a least I know its all good for summer.

    One day last summer I was out in my baby and my daughter asked what the number on the display was I tryed to explain about mpg to her when we came up with a game to see how high we could get the mpg . It took sometime but we got it to over 50mpg ,we did cheat abit as this was a long hill and after getting the speed up I cruised it along all the way back down , I do miss those summer Sundays going out for no reason other than to drive around A roads. Can anyone get better

    Hi my mirror has the same issue but only after a lot of rain and then a frezzing night assume the rain turns to ice and causing the issue, but I'm changing the whole unit anyway so its not a broblem to me now. You can change the bulbs with the units in place but you have to remove some other components under the bonnet,my mechanic did mine and said he has never had so miuch work to change a bulb .

    Hi I also pay 500 ,the reason for this is down to the costs of the parts in the event of a claim .there are a lot more mercs about sharing parts as such therre cheaper to source ,I got a quote for a 911 and it was 3500 so 500 seams good to me,also my van costs 750 so I'm very happy with my sc price.

    hi I had this problem about a month ago what I did was to warm up the car to full 30 degrees then clean the windows with professional glass cleaner and dry with blue roll ,I have also put these crystals in the boot and under the front to seats which soak up the damp (you can buy them from those pound shops) so far this has worked so im happy ,

    If you want to hear an as system you can come to Leeds or give me a personal message and we can exchange phone numbers and ill turn the car on for you to hear although down the phone but you will get an idea ,just to let you know everyone I know likes the sound old and young.

    Also I've been told that Lexus capped the number of sc 430 cars to 225 a year for some reason ,Toyota have also done this on the landcruiser amazon (New shape) to keep values up as a result finding second hand parts is hard as h... I'm only repeating what I've been told but it does explain why they are so rare .

    Which side and what colour ,
  23. john leeds
    Hi don't sell the dinner plates unless you have to as one day when you sell the car you will need the original ones to keep it complete .

    Hi my whole exhaust from the front cats had to be replaced due to it being covered by around 50 small holes ,and the metal was too thin to fix .I opted for all of it in stainless as it was the cheapest option ,it cost £300 and they gave me the choice of how I wanted it to sound from silent to drag car loud ,I opted for the natural noise the exhaust made which is a nice low barbl which is enough to let people know its something special ,the company I used is in Leeds .
