Hi everyone Just a quickie has anyone used or knows anyone who has used tony banks exhausts in leeds my gs300 exhaust has just started to grumble and after searching and a few calls his quote is bloody good. cheers

hi there I`m just trying to find out if any supra non turbo bits are interchangeable with the gs300. found these on Ebay did forget about them emailed the people selling asking if it fits the uk gs300 2jz-ge engine awaiting reply. reason is the pulleys are getting a bit rusty noticed whilst examining the belts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-MK4-MK3-1JZ-2JZ-3-PIECE-PULLEY-SET-LIGHTWEIGHT-ALLOY-ENGINE-PULLEYS-/231066518286?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=XtfXfvSc6jZ2qorFkZeSSRvboJw%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc cheers

cheers tigerfish did you encounter any issues with the head unit change and amp bypass. I`ll have to do some searching may need to build something for the door speakers if i can`t find straight swap speakers sly thread insert is there an haynes manual for the gs300 or is it a workshop manual i need thinking when i come to strip car.

no worries found out I`m off so I`ll be there

hi everybody I`m trying to find out info regarding the sound system in my gs as I`ve noticed my speakers are a touch crackly when the volume is above background noise. Does anyone know the size of the speakers and tweeters in the front doors and the speakers in the rear passenger doors looks like I may need to upgrade. As anyone upgraded their speakers if so where they straight forward component replacements or did you have to custom fit? Nearly forgot the subwoofer in the rear parcel shelf has anyone altered this too thanks

cheers ians200 just took a while to find a good one glad i bought it now. i`m going to check my rota days tomorrow night at work to sort everything out so i can make it don`t want to say yeah and not turn up and look a berk haha. Had a amazing relaxed drive coming back from near Tamworth where I picked it up from felt like i`d nipped to the shops not a 80 mile trip home.

hi all After lots of patience or as my other half says being Mr careful finally bought my first lexus its a 1998 R-plate now with 99800 miles on the clock after driving back home with an forest full of lexus paperwork and a full lexus history with lexus birmingham found out after i called them to find timing belt schedule. the timing belt done at lexus at 89k miles including a massive service on the 20th may 2010 can`t believe it got the bill cost £749.40 best of all i`m the second owner the first owner a doctor.

cheers steve2006 just waiting for a phone call from the old man has he calls him??. info i`ve got is it`s an s-plate but on private at the mo it has 120k on clock f.s.h unfortunately not all lexus but 11 stamps are lexus last service at 119,200 cambelt changed at 100k mostly driven by his wife road tax is disable owned for a few years. the mileage on the mot`s is showing 107k miles in 2005 so basically not a lot of ,miles been done. the downside is his grandad has mislaid probably lost the main key with the boot release on sounds good though up at £1400 hoping to get him down

cheers for the info noby76 kinda puts my mind at rest it was a warmish day yesterday when i test drove the car. the gauge never moved from half way or i guess normal after a good 45 mins test drive still learning about these cars back out again this afternoon got a message from a guy I work with his grandad is selling his gs300. fingers crossed

hi there I`m currently doing trips to buy a gs 300 I`ve currently looked at a few but things need doing to them plus no history or master key Can you tell me from experience as new to these cars how long it should take from cold for the water temp to settle at halfway on the temp gauge one that I`ve seen took about 5 mins to get from cold to halfway the others towards 10 mins to be honest on other cars I`d be borrowing my mates sniffer kit to check if headgasket is going warming relatively quickly. cheers

hi cheers for the welcome I guess from what you mentioned usual wear and tear suspension wise for a big car and checking all electric gizmos due to the age of the car. interesting regarding the braking system cheers for the heads up dare i ask how much your wallet gets emptied if it goes wrong, is there a way of checking all is ok on the brake system never experienced this kind of system. the two links below are what I`ve found doing a quick search. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-GS-300-3-0-auto-SE-Black-beige-leather-/171104809669?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27d6a432c5 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201303195845438/sort/default/usedcars/price-to/2000/model/gs/make/lexus/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/quicksearch/true/radius/1500/postcode/s654by/page/2?logcode=p found this private too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-LEXUS-GS300-SE-AUTO-SILVER-/271285171637?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f29db35b5 Any help and info regarding the links would be great thanks

Hi everyone Just registered after finding the site whilst looking for info on the lexus gs300 usual stuff good, bad I know all cars have niggles also actual owners reviews on other sites etc. I`m going either this evening or early saturday morn to view a 1999 gs300 with about 95k on the clock at a dealership is there anything specific I need to be aware of? I think it is an updated model has twin lights at the front and not a single headlight well i`m new gathered from looking it`s a variant of the supra engine deffo not the supra tt engine pity has fsh also the timing belt has been done recently at lexus so no worries for a while. As a noob to lexus would appreciate some bargaining ammo when i go. cheers martyn
