IS 200 Silver Arrow

Thanks HoodRich. I hear you call em Alloy Wheels, here we call em MAG wheels.

Oh great to know that Chris. Havent to Capre Town, but iv travelled to Bloemfontein and i am regular in Pretoria and Joburg. They are a stone throw from my city by the way, just 300kms. Thanks for add and the invitation to that group. i have already sent my request through. Do you know of this group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/2269413104/ . its Toyota Altezza RS 200/AS 200/ Lexus IS 300/IS 200. its fairly big and spans the globe. check it out mate. a great resource and the guys can pimp these cars.

I am thinking of changing the color of my original mags from silver to black on a silver IS 200. what do you guys think? Anyone done it here and how does it look? how else has anyone improved the appearance of an IS 200, color combination-wise?

Hey Chris, 10 years is a quite a long time, dont you think? Good to hear you once travelled Botswana and i think you know Gabs, the capital. Which part of SA did u live in? I lived in Port Elizabeth. Oh by the way i lived and studied in Glasgow, jst so u know my Glaswegian roots, ;). In all fairness and to answer you Stuart as well, speaking of Botswana only, dnt no much of rest of Africa, we hv a quite a big Lexus/Altezza club. my profile pic is taken from one our events. Chris, hook me up on facebook, donah moabi and i'l invite you to our car club mate. there you will c videos and and pics. We jst love to hit the road and brighten up the city.

Donah here from Botswana, Southern Africa. If you remember the 2008 Top Gear Special in Botswana? yeah thats where im from. Been driving this amazing machince since October last year, imported it from Portmouth. Love my car.

will hook myself wit a pair...

i have not paid dat much attention on the revs, i will and let u no. I bought it 2nd hand behaving like this. its actually the same as you if you skipped gears to 3 from idle. there is a knock only from one to two but 2 to 3 and up are fine. I will check the condition of the clutch plates.

Thanks Guru. let me try put this differently. When i press the pedal from gear one to two, whether its at high speed or low speed, it cuts or knocks and then takes off... if you get what i mean. as for the clunks, its been a while but they havent really affected the performance, its only these cuts driving me nuts. lol!

I have owned it since October last year. imported it from Portsmouth.but it sucks because my take-offs are not as good as autos, yet we drive the same car or in some cases, a better car. I was also advised to change oils to synthetic since im currently using magnetic! so there's nothing i can do about it?

My transmission cuts/knocks when I change frm gear 1 to 2. some say its ignition coils and others say its clutch/pressure plate. Wat could be the cause? Please help. I drive an IS 200 manual.
