  1. suggest you check this thread out wheel sizes and offsets
  2. hi Chris car is looking good ....as usual :) is the rear bumper meant to be a different colour ?
  3. I never managed to get my IS200LE down to 16mpg although it was a manual, so unless you drive very fast or aggressively (I live nearby and there isn't a lot of chance of that) or spend most of your time in crawling traffic; that isn't reasonable. I get about 23-24 from my 5 litre ISF! Recheck by filling to the brim, making a note of the Odometer reading. When fuel is getting low, fill it to the brim again preferably at the same pump so the car is tilting the same amount, making a note of exactly how many litres it took and the new odometer reading to get the miles driven. Then recalculate mpg, remembering to divide the litres by 4.544 to get gallons. If you have the wrong size tyres/wheels on it can ruin the calculation. This isn't 100% accurate but it is the best you can do without going to a lot of trouble. The official figures are 21 mpg Urban & 28 mpg Combined and you should get a bit nearer that. To be honest lately iv been driving like an old biddy lol and as you know yourself camberley/sandhurst isnt exactly the greatest roads to get any kind of speed up the wheels and tyres are the ones from standard 17 inch wheels and tyres and iv checked the tyre pressures which are what were in the book so they are all fine so i really dont know what else it could be ,the only other thing is its idling a bit high at around the 1500-2000 mark.The other week i had to go to london and put in 30 quid of petrol and mostly motorway driving i got about 110 miles if i remember right.Im really stumped but it really is seeming like i have to sell it. Im bloody jelous that you have an isf and you even get more mpg than me lol now doubly jelous lol. cheers try re-setting the ecu
  4. hardly relevant as you are running a different engine
  5. bit far to go to pick up, for most of us !!
  6. wheel nuts should alway be torqued up by relying on doing them up by hand is a bit hit and miss everyone has vastly different strengths, problems occur when they are overtightened, the studs get stretched and stressed and become liable to snap, under-tightened and they are liable to work loose if you absolutely need to drive on 4 studs, make sure they are torqued correctly, don't try and tighten them more to compensate for one being missing ! when fitting new studs, nuts, or even wheels always check again a week or so later for correct torque by the way missing a nut or bolt is an MOT failure !
  7. I used the TTE coilovers they allowed a low stance, sporty feel and they retained that Lexus comfort cant recommend them enough
  8. i switched over to firefox 3.6 and found i couldnt post in the reply section using windows vista now reverted back to 3.5.8 version and all is fine
  9. I am fine with firefox 3.5.8 as well is 3.5.8 the latest version ? I know Steve was looking into this, hopefully we will have a solution soon
  10. Dylan is correct that is why we are reluctant to delete any posts, let alone whole threads in the same way accounts are not feasible to close If mr mole feels so strongly we suggest he gives LOC a miss when visiting forums
  11. Ok if thats the case why did I have a message when I logged in a few days ago that I had been suspended for a year ?? Then once it was questioned through Rob this was reversed ?? Never did anything with my cookies, It was stated that the site might have been having problems with fire fox , I was using Internet Explorer at the time . There is nothing wrong with my account now, but this has just happened today. My inbox did say it was full but again this just happened today after you mentioned it. So can you do what I have asked please, and then we can all be happy again. Thanks for your time, Mr Mole well i have tried do what i can to help if you feel that you do not want to be part of these forums that is your choice
  12. mr mole was not banned nor suspended he asked to be removed from gold status, and was ! this surprisingly flagged up a warning which was removed immediatly the moment we found out about it with removal of gold status, certain features and pm amounts decrease with what appears to be glitch in the system, he has had problems at first he said he couldnt post, i asked him via rob to check his cookies, which i presume he has done as he is now able to post I asked him to check his pm box isnt full, but have not heard if this helped I have checked all his account settings and they all indicate nothing is wrong
  13. sounds like there is light at the end of the tunnel ! pics and more info would be great :D
  14. he comes on to get reactions like he is getting ! think it gives him some sort of self satisfaction, obviously his right hand is tired give him his 15 mins then he will be outa here
  15. droplinks are the links from your anti roll bar to the arms easy DIY job to do and not too expensive
  16. I would hazard a guess at the droplinks
  17. I would shop around for parking sensors, many places offer them nowdays vega do a decent set for under hundred pounds, and they can be fitted within a few hours by a competant DIY'er
  18. I would agree that it probably isnt considered a safety issue and unless it was occuring relatively close to when the car was new would be deemed reasonable wear and tear, after 16 years you do expect things to go wrong ...even on a Lexus !
  19. guide to changing springs is here coilovers is much the same but no need to dismantle the units how to change springs on an IS200/300
  20. well I think we are back on track on this topic If any one has any info they could share, please do :)
  21. may I point out to you that the words "offers very much like yours" was so put to imply people asking for help regarding auctions and percentages etc are very commonplace not only here but throughout the whole internet world the fact that "auction buying companies" are new to me or other members, does not imply that your initial request was novel "a new day a new scam" could well have been apt not that I am trying to imply that you are in actual fact a scammer , but just the fact that similar requests generally lead to one, and therefore tend to be handled with caution if you have any complaint about me, please feel free to report it, either steve or mat will be happy to listen if you have any complaints about any member, please feel free to report it to a moderator, and action will take place please let me point out that most members who have experienced scamming are very reluctant to help what may appear to them to be a scam, cant agree more, thats why the moderating team chose not immediately close this thread however other members experience tend to automate their reply sadly I did, and I am still here 7 years later !
